Challenge

Ziggo Dome
Spectators: 43 (Terracing: 33, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Antal Valentin took the kick off in the first half of the match. Antal Valentin fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 3rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Orestis Lazarou having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Rondo's zone, Takacs Tibor stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Orestis Lazarou came out of the goal and Takacs Tibor tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Major Barna had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Fodor Daniel showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Asdrubal Rodríguez, who was totally free with the ball in the 15th minute. Rondo's Orestis Lazarou played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Antal Valentin in the 20th minute of play. Jurgen Winters scored 1-0 in the 24th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Fodor Daniel, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Orestis Lazarou showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Major Barna in the 27th minute of the match. Antal Valentin struck a weak shot in the 28th minute. Orestis Lazarou didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Hungary. An unexpectedly hard shot by Asdrubal Rodríguez in the 33rd minute of play forced Hungary's goalkeeper Fodor Daniel to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Balazs Lajos came up free with the goalie in the 40th minute, the Hungary fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Balazs Lajos couldn't finish the play. If Balazs Lajos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Af the end of the first half the score was 1-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Asdrubal Rodríguez stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. A collision led to Hungary getting a freekick after 51 minutes play. Boros Benedek hit a great ball. The audience thought a goal was coming when Antal Valentin got free with Orestis Lazarou in the 54th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 57th minute Hungary were awarded a corner. Antal Valentin went to the cornerflag to take it. In the 59th minute of the match, Major Barna got a very nice opportunity to score, but Orestis Lazarou was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. An unexpected shot in the 61st minute by Major Barna got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. Major Barna received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 67th minute. Orestis Lazarou tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 71st minute, Major Barna managed to get in a good position for a shot. Hungary's supporters rose to their feet, but Major Barna was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Orestis Lazarou breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Balazs Lajos struck a weak shot in the 73rd minute. Orestis Lazarou didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Hungary. An unexpectedly hard shot by Asdrubal Rodríguez in the 76th minute of play forced Hungary's goalkeeper Fodor Daniel to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Antal Valentin fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 77th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Orestis Lazarou having to interfere. Rondo made a substitution. Miguel Lope replaced Asdrubal Rodríguez. Fodor Daniel came out of the goal in the 80th minute to try and stop a shot by Rondo's Miguel Lope. But to his dismay, Miguel Lope quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-0. Fodor Daniel stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Arnout Arends's shot from short distance in the 84th minute. Rick de Zee's late challenge caught a Hungary's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Rick de Zee helped the player get up and apologised. After 84 played minutes Rondo got a freekick which was hit by Rick de Zee. Takacs Tibor might have been able to make a better finish in the 87th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Orestis Lazarou. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Takacs Tibor ran back to his position shaking his head. Fodor Daniel made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Miguel Lope in the 89th minute of play. Orestis Lazarou was a little too slow when Antal Valentin got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 90th minute. The score was now 2-1. The Rondo support was delighted with a win in a match that could easily have ended differently.
