Arena: [DDT] 新數皇大球場
Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and [DDT] 新數皇大球場 saw a crowd turnout of 128. Mathematics tactics involved an interesting 5-4-1 combination. The following players had been chosen: Tabberer - Yue Shun, Chong Boon, Xiaoping, Huai yong, Thien Hu - Chi hong, Chong Wai, Guan Hee, Juh shiun - Kwong.
Vatrahines started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Vandini - Alsleben, Gabrielsson, Cabral -
Aybar, Koller, Peneda, MacAslan - Wallis, Viola, Tomei.
Mathematics clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. With clinical precision, the cross pass from winger Owen
MacAslan found its way to Rubén Aybar's head, and a screaming header gave Vatrahines the 0 - 1 goal. The home crowd cheered when,
in the 22nd minute, David Tomei's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. There was
a bit of a mixup on the field as Vatrahines found themselves out of position and their organization level dropped to inadequate.
Many in the crowd felt the referee was being too lenient when he only showed Mathematics's Huang Xiaoping a yellow card after a
mistimed challenge from behind in the 31st minute. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. Mathematics, bringing their
ball possession to 53 percent, dominated the battle.
The Vatrahines players spent the halftime break getting a rerun of the team's tactical organization and regained a solid
organization. After 47 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for David Tomei who increased Vatrahines's
lead to 0 - 2. Some things can only be learned through experience, and Song Thien Hu should take his lesson to heart after nearly
giving Vatrahines a goal in the 63rd minute. Owen MacAslan of Vatrahines was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle.
Li Guan Hee knocked one home in the 81st minute on the counterattack, making the score 1 - 2. Mathematics dictated play, as they
maintained 52 percent of possession.
The most dominating Mathematics player was without a doubt Zhang Juh shiun. On the other hand, Yu Kwong's play was disheartening.
Vatrahines's top performer was clearly Karl-Ludwig Alsleben. On the other hand, Patrício Peneda's play was disheartening. The
match ends 1 - 2.
