Most important nsm player was Marinel Badea. Peter Åkerquist was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Sticla player was without a doubt Nik Bos. Gheorghe Buzoianu was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 3.

Revenge against the only team that defeated me on my ground this season. I let them have the midfield but set the team to score more goals than they could.
