Collection 1 - 8 Weremem (380130812)

Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 19248 at Energy Collection Industry today. Román Ávalos was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Gianfilippo Scanniello and Ferdinand Olszewski. Collection had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. Starters: Nimet - Konstantaras, Vassilantonakis, Kalfoglou, Ürün - Gatsios, Konstantakos, Mpeloutsis, Gkalitsis - Gondolakis, Christakos.

Weremem tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Criscito - Leonis, Spiesschaert, Sprunck, Schneidesch - Liedhult, Fukazawa, Mężydło, Komza - Argyrou, Trenck.

Weremem took a creative approach on the field. After 4 minutes, Weremem's C. Mężydło made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. After 18 minutes, A. Konstantaras sent the corner kick right to A. Gkalitsis who headed it sharply past the keeper. 1 - 1! After 19 minutes, Weremem put themselves up 1 - 2, as T. Spiesschaert finished off a strike from the left with a real cannonball of a shot. J. Liedhult of Weremem was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. After 30 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed T. Fukazawa to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 1 - 3. The visitors' T. Fukazawa took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 33 minutes into the match. 1 - 4 for Weremem. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Weremem lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. J. Liedhult remonstrated furiously with the referee after Weremem had another decision go against them. The referee had no alternative but to show him another yellow card and send him from the pitch. 1 - 4 was the halftime score. Weremem enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 62 percent of possession.

After 49 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for E. Argyrou who increased Weremem's lead to 1 - 5. Collection had to make a substitution after 74 minutes. T. Mpeloutsis limped off the field and was replaced by D. Floridis. With 75 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed Y. Schneidesch of Weremem to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 1 - 6. With 76 minutes played, Weremem put themselves up 1 - 7 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was H. Sprunck. The home crowd was not impressed when C. Mężydło came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 78 minutes. Weremem were now up 1 - 8. Weremem claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 70 percent.

Collection's top performer was clearly A. Gkalitsis. On the other hand, E. Kalfoglou's play was disheartening. The most dominating Weremem player was without a doubt H. Sprunck. However, T. Spiesschaert made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 8.
