B0n3s 3 - 1 Gasselich (379552618)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 4368 to b0n3s Arena. Henrik Henriksson was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Rogelio Ávalos and Velibor Injatović. B0n3s tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players took the field: Calmans - Bērziņš, Skalbergs, Rozentāls - Galviņš, Lanzana, Baldzēns, Szalai, Esenbergs - Matulis, Neiburgs.

Gasselich started off with a 5-3-2 lineup. Lineup: Pereira Faria - Trattner, Coninckx, Bierke, Zobel, Saygı - Roe, Villacosta, Lendring - Waalkes, Symoen.

B0n3s used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. Making his way up the middle 2 minutes into the match, J. Matulis almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert G. Pereira Faria blocked it to keep the score level. R. Rozentāls gave B0n3s the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0 22 minutes in, Gasselich appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only passable. R. Szalai had a fantastic opportunity to put B0n3s up another goal 35 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. B0n3s were given a gift! The ref dubiously awarded them a penalty 37 minutes into the match, which was neatly put away by J. Esenbergs. 2 - 0 for the home side. V. Bērziņš of B0n3s was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. 42 minutes into the game, Gasselich seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a inadequate level of organisation. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, J. Matulis got himself booked. The manager of B0n3s was not happy. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to B0n3s, who controlled the ball 71 percent of the time.

Despite his frustration resulting in the smashing of a few teacups, the coach of Gasselich was able to get his message across, and raised Gasselich's organisation to solid. The cannonball from 35 metres by M. Baldzēns of B0n3s was an impressive sight, but didn't make it into the net. Gasselich were great at switching from defence to attack, and after 51 minutes, P. Trattner swept through the middle on a counterattack, making the score 2 - 1. The visitors almost came back with an equaliser 69 minutes into the match after a good combination down the middle, but when M. Saygı tried to finish the attack, he couldn't deliver the shot hard enough to seriously challenge the keeper. B0n3s were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. R. Neiburgs unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. B0n3s's J. Esenbergs was dominating his wing and kept sending fine balls into the opposition's box - J. Matulis managed to volley one of them into the net to make it 3 - 1 after 75 minutes. At this point, it was obvious that the players of B0n3s lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. Gasselich's R. Roe was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 80 minutes. 81 minutes into the game, Gasselich had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to inadequate. B0n3s claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 73 percent.

Most important B0n3s player was M. Baldzēns. On the other hand, R. Rozentāls's play was disheartening. The most dominating Gasselich player was without a doubt P. Trattner. H. Coninckx turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 1.
