H.Avni Aker
Spectators: 50 (Terracing: 38, Seating: 11, VIP seats: 1) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Cecilio Fanuco started the match with the kick off. Cecilio Fanuco recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 5th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 6 minutes into the match, ◄▌Anatolia Athletic▐►'s Henk Veerman sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Zhuo Xuan Yu narrowly saved just below the crossbar. The audience was convinced that Cecilio Fanuco's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Cihan Zafer was relentless in the 9th minute of the game. 12 minutes into the match, Juliszew SSA's goal looked a bit too open when Tiburcio Muxica came free, but Zhuo Xuan Yu reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. ◄▌Anatolia Athletic▐► were awarded a corner in the 13th minute after Juliszew SSA's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Anton Scheupach took the corner. ◄▌Anatolia Athletic▐►'s Anton Scheupach was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Zhuo Xuan Yu in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. In the 24th match minute, ◄▌Anatolia Athletic▐► was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Tiburcio Muxica to maneuver through the defense. After having played for 29 minutes, Tiburcio Muxica managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. ◄▌Anatolia Athletic▐►'s supporters crossed their fingers, but Tiburcio Muxica was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Tiburcio Muxica in the 36th minute of play forced Juliszew SSA's goalkeeper Zhuo Xuan Yu to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. ◄▌Anatolia Athletic▐►'s Corné van Basten quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Teobaldo Bayo, made in the 37th minute of the game. A collision led to ◄▌Anatolia Athletic▐► getting a freekick after 39 minutes play. Tiburcio Muxica hit a great ball. Juliszew SSA's Marcin Pachucki quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Sacit Övünç, made in the 41st minute of the game. Cihan Zafer showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Cecilio Fanuco in the 47th minute of the match. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Jerzy Niedbalski to strike the kick off in the second half. In the 54th minute Jerzy Niedbalski shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Zhuo Xuan Yu saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jerzy Niedbalski in the 58th minute of play forced Juliszew SSA's goalkeeper Zhuo Xuan Yu to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. A sloppy throw-in by Sacit Övünç in the 62nd minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by Juliszew SSA's Marcin Pachucki. ◄▌Anatolia Athletic▐► made a substitution. Güney Özboga replaced Mustafa Yaşar Recai. Xiao Xu kicked well hit freekick during the 73rd minute of the match. Zhuo Xuan Yu took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Jerzy Niedbalski, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Zhuo Xuan Yu made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Okan Koc in the 86th minute of play. After some careless play in the Juliszew SSA defense, Okan Koc kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Zhuo Xuan Yu. The Juliszew SSA fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Zhuo Xuan Yu should have stopped the shot. Juliszew SSA's Lucjan Szkarpiak was substituted for Philip Lovecraft. Cihan Zafer was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Oto Mur showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-2 in the 97 minute of play. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Juliszew SSA eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
