46771 spectators had come to Starks Pond this cloudy day. SouthPark started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Black - Cook, Wilhelm, Davis - Bernbratt, Crain, Dragóner, Danhof, Millard - Gustavsson, Dey.

Huligans had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Berg - Mayes, Zelazny, Bradley - Jegers, ter Laak, Nacher, Chocano Díaz, Frederick - Sundskär, Grunddahl.

Vitalijs Jegers of Huligans received a yellow card in the 5:th minute for unsportsmanlike behaviour. In the 10:th minute cheers broke out as Robert Dey found his way through the guests central defense line, clipping the 1 - 0 goal in for SouthPark. After 14 minutes Kenneth Millard put SouthPark ahead 2 - 0 as he rose to head in a hooked ball, the result of an effort from the right side. The teams went for a half-time break at 2 - 0. Huligans, bringing the final ball possession rate to 53 percent, dominated the battle.

The visitors got a chance of pulling one back in the 54:th minute, due to a defensive blunder leaving David Grunddahl completely unmarked. His strike was pathetic though, easy prey for the home side´s keeper. The visitors reduced the score in the 57:th minute to 2 - 1 as a free kick by David Grunddahl slunk past the home sides goaltender. An equalising goal was close at hand as David Grunddahl clipped a free kick just wide of the goal. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. Sven Gustavsson squirmed himself through the central defense line in the 73rd minute, asserting the lead to 3 - 1. In the game's 74:th minute SouthPark´s Steve Crain limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. Huligans held the ball, with a clear 56 percent possession rate.

Most important SouthPark player was Reuben Wilhelm. Kenneth Millard on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Huligans player was without a doubt Ramón Chocano Díaz. James Frederick was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 1.

Comments:
Our stats were fairly even. I had 38 stars, he had 37.5. I had home field advantage. I got lucky... I never win games like that.
Well this game has move us up above the auto-demote line and puts us in 5th, right were I wanted to be. I wish fockers could have won too, that would have allowed me to win next week and take 5th (with a gargs win). Now, I dunno what I'll do.
This is 4 wins in a row (all in pink). If this keeps up, I'll have to play my qualification game in pink. Next Sunday is the last day I "have to wear" pink.
