Match report

Lineups

millers decided to use a 5-4-1 set up. The following players had been selected: Jäger - Strassner, Schiel, Steedmann, Pereira Vicente, Schwarzenbeck - Eeman, Schomann, Bollenbacher, Stredele - Gălie.

Dinamo tactics involved an interesting 5-3-2 combination. The following players took the field: Paskum - Buffon, Abduholiqov, Okiko, Iskender Uulu, Versijpt - 竹下 (Takeshita), Zubairu, Tudurean - Dănilă, Negoiţă.

First half

Dinamo's game plan was to sit back and absorb the pressure, then break on the counter whenever possible. A counter-attack by Dinamo after 6 minutes could have resulted in a goal, but Jens Versijpt, coming in on the left, waited too long to shoot. The referee showed millers's Catarino Pereira Vicente the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Marco Steedmann received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 28 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. Dinamo's coach was furious with Kitwana Okiko after he picked up a yellow for saying one too many words to the ref. Coming in from the right, Dinamo had a good opportunity to convert on a counter-attack after 40 minutes, but Bogdan Dănilă's attempt was easily stopped. Dinamo mounted an inspired counter-attack down the right wing after 44 minutes, but Bogdan Dănilă was unable to convert from short range. 0 - 0 was the score after the first half. millers were doing a good job holding on to the ball, with 59 percent of possession.

Second half

With 77 minutes played, a typically brave header by Dinamo's Bogdan Dănilă from 洋平 (Yohei) 竹下 (Takeshita)'s centered ball looped just over the opposing goalkeeper's desperate reach, making the score 0 - 1. millers won the midfield battle for the half, with 60 percent possession of the ball.

The most dominating millers player was without a doubt Catarino Pereira Vicente. Ruben Eeman was a disappointment, however. Dinamo's best player was Mirjalol Abduholiqov. Bogdan Dănilă on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 1.
