CB TAH
CB HINCAPIÉ (Hincapie)
RB/CB KOSSOUNOU

CMF DEMIRBAY
RMF/RWF ADLI

CF SCHICK

Substitutions: Paulinho for Adli (57 mn), Hložek for Hudson-Odoi (69 mn), Tapsoba for Kossounou (69 mn) and Fosu-Mensah for Diaby (88 mn - Injur)
Notes: The official formation was displayed as a "4-2-3-1", however Kossounou barely overlapped thorough the right flank compared to Bakker' very offensive interpretation of the side back role
At the second half, the formation seemed more like a 3-6-1/3-4-3 hybrid variation with Kossounou now permanently settled as right CB next to Tah and Hincapié, Bakker as LWB, Hudson-Odoi as LWF and Adli (and later Paulinho) as RMF
Hložek played as RMF/RWB, this permanently changed the formation layout into a more defined 3-4-3 with the other relocated players such Diaby now as right SS/RWF and Paulinho as left SS/LWF
Fosu-Mensah played as RWB/RMF, this relocated Hložek as right SS/RWF
