Sourcing caveat: Both teams' jersey numbers on this match's source page are non-standard - values like 30, 29, 24, 22, 20, 18, 19, 16 rather than a normal 1-13 sequence - and are reported as given by the source rather than reassigned; the lineup names, positions, and scoring totals themselves reconciled correctly regardless.
