Probably the rain indeed, I've found that to be of extreme influence on crowd attendance.

25385 spectators had found their way to PP SV Arena, despite the heavy rain. PP tactics involved an interesting 3-4-3 combination. Lineup: Beurskens - Boote, van Zeeland, Buurman - Daemen, Wis, Bergant, Kloppenberg - Aardema, Lantinga, Kooper.

Heemskerk started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. They fielded: Giezen - Verkerk, Macbeth, Hatling - Albers, Lommen, Hayes, van Gasteren - van Berne, Hedbratt, van der Eerden.

PP clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could, using their talent for it. Heemskerk seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. A long pass from the defense line of PP resulted in a counterattack that set Robert Kooper free in the enemy central penalty box, but his finish went high. In the 26th minute, Heemskerk's Guus Lommen received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The PP player was Allard Boote who had to be helped off the pitch, unable to finish the game, but Lars van Harsselaar came in to finish the match. Bobbie Albers was dominating his wing and kept sending fine balls into the enemy box - Johan Hedbratt managed to kick one of them into 0 - 1 in the 28th minute. Heemskerk came close to extending their lead as Guus Lommen delivered a long range shot from the right but the angle was too sharp, and the shot hit the side of the goal. Johan Hedbratt could have added one to the visitors lead if his free kick had gone just a little lower. The visitors Sander van Berne took advantage of an error due to a misunderstanding between the home side´s goalie and central backs in the 39th minute. 0 - 2 for Heemskerk. Halftime score was 0 - 2. Heemskerk held the ball, with a clear 62 percent possession rate.

68 minutes into the game PP broke through on the left wing and Constantijn Lantinga managed to reduce the lead to 1 - 2. After 69 minutes of play Robert Kooper equalised for PP after an elegant attack from the right. In the game's 74th minute, PP's Fryderyk Wis fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee booked Fryderyk Wis for taking a dive. PP broke through to the left in the 76th minute, Edi Bergant firing at an acute angle giving the home side a 3 - 2 lead. In the 77th minute PP put themselves up 4 - 2. The visitors defenders lost the ball to Edi Bergant coming up from the left, who proceeded to cooly round the goaltender and knock the ball home. The visitors replied in the game's 80th minute, scoring the 4 - 3 goal, as Kevin Macbeth dashed up the middle, easily lobbing the ball over the home teams keeper. Heemskerk held the ball, with a clear 61 percent possession rate.

The most dominating PP player was without a doubt Edi Bergant. Lars van Harsselaar on the other hand, had a terrible day. Heemskerk's best player was Bo van Gasteren. Kevin Macbeth on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 4 - 3.

Boote is out for 3 weeks: not too bad, after all I'm used to worse . Seems the other team fielded some trainees/b-team and thought that to be enough. Checked his log in, he didnt even bother to check today, he'll be up for an interesting surprise when he logs on

Congratulations PP!
And there wasn't even a CA goal...
I guess, he shouldn't have played AIM, it weakened his sides too much!
