Lewisham 1 - 5 Aeling (377050976)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and King Kenny Lane saw a crowd turnout of 23827. Guarino Magonara was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Mousa Mustafa and Ken Grangl. Lewisham decided to use a 5-3-2 set up. They fielded: Hampson - Paull, Toomer, Harkess, Ling, Maślny - Tarar, van Barneveld, Humpage - Ohnstad, Maric.

Aeling tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Az - Bruno, Nietubyć, Prats - Oliver, Ferrando, De Palma, Czarniawski, 内藤 (Naito) - Zäh, Dotsenko.

Lewisham were relying on their ability to counter-attack. Aeling took the lead after 20 minutes making the score 0 - 1. I. Nietubyć placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. R. Fallon was called on to replace Lewisham's W. Maślny after 23 minutes following a nasty collision. After 32 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for M. Dotsenko who increased Aeling's lead to 0 - 2. With 38 minutes played, N. Zäh nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. I. Nietubyć was ever so close to scoring after an excellent corner was beautifully flicked on by M. Czarniawski, but the ball bounced off the post to safety. N. Zäh of Aeling took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 40 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 3. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 3. Aeling claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 75 percent.

63 minutes into the match, 高. 内藤 (Naito) came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. Had it not been for one of the home defenders, N. Zäh would have put Aeling up another goal 76 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. After 77 minutes, Aeling's B. Bruno burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 4. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Aeling lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. S. Humpage's early cross saw the defenders caught out of position and the alert H. Ohnstad was able to pounce and roll the ball past the hapless goalkeeper to score for Lewisham. 1 - 4. Given a free kick close to the byline, Aeling tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let M. Czarniawski slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 1 - 5, 83 minutes into the game. Possession in this half belonged to Aeling, who controlled the ball 75 percent of the time.

Lewisham's best player was S. Maric. A. Toomer on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Aeling player was without a doubt M. Dotsenko. On the other hand, A. Oliver's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 5.
