The both squads performances could be described as average. There have been only a few stirring situations and the fans have probably expected more from this game. The host team were superior on the pitch today. To keep the ball for as long as possible and to put the opponent out of the game but not to lose possession, that was the strategy of the home side. The visiting side focused more on the defence and to catch the opponent on the break.
