EVDN05 0 - 3 Cashmoney (369182267)

A brilliantly sunny day had enticed a crowd of 47646 to EVDN05 Arena. Jérémy Faucheux was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Simon van Haaften and Anssi Mikkotervo. EVDN05 decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. The following players had been chosen: Rebman - Rodrigues, Pajala, Schönaich - Dommann, Lönnell, Miceli, Dirlammen - Bissat, Francesi, Spadaro.

A 2-5-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Cashmoney. Starters: Ranaldi - Sainson, Zimmerlin - Esin, Rigters, Kędziorny, Sadeniemi, Pascolo - Carafa, Branis, Hellstén.

Cashmoney used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. Making his way up the middle 13 minutes into the match, C. Francesi almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert M. Ranaldi blocked it to keep the score level. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. Cashmoney claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 56 percent.

The intense heat forced J. Pajala into making some errors because he couldn't seem to keep up with the others. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 49 minutes allowed O. Carafa to score for Cashmoney. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. A. Dommann's technique was perfect on this sunny day and led to some breathtaking tricks that bamboozled the defence. After 61 minutes EVDN05's J. Pajala limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. The visitors' K. Hellstén took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 66 minutes into the match. 0 - 2 for Cashmoney. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Cashmoney lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. Cashmoney players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. O. Carafa received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 85 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 3. The Cashmoney fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. After 86 minutes, EVDN05's N. Lönnell fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Cashmoney, with 59 percent of the ball.

Most important EVDN05 player was U. Spadaro. J. Pajala was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Cashmoney player was without a doubt G. Branis. M. Esin on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 3.
