Motorhead 3 - 0 URAHAN1 (388015219)

38522 punters turned up at Dnipro Stadium, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Artur Wojtczak was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Nitzan Buaron and Vasile Serban. Motorhead tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Matukas - Goutinos, Karelin, Fumarola - Lysiy, Kniazik, Garcia Jr., Josefsson, Sokol - Merli Benedetti, Dechesne.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for URAHAN1. The following players took the field: Ueckermann - Khamitov, Peresada, Chukhnenkov, Maliy - Forrest, Aantjes, Metelskiy, Neveu - Zerbo, Arsin.

It was an obvious ambition of Motorhead to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. URAHAN1 used their skill at pressing to cut off the attack angles of their opponents all over the field. Motorhead took the lead 12 minutes in, as B. Sokol broke through on the left and put the 1 - 0 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. Motorhead put in a good effort on the right, but B. Sokol saw his volley fly wide of the mark 26 minutes into the game. G. Merli Benedetti should probably have put his team up another goal after 30 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by E. Ueckermann kept the visitors in the game. It was 1 - 0 at the break. Motorhead enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 62 percent of possession.

One of many good crosses from B. Sokol on the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by G. Merli Benedetti, who scored for Motorhead. 2 - 0 Motorhead increased the lead as A. Josefsson struck to make the score 3 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. After this, you could see that the players of Motorhead were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. With 71 minutes played, the URAHAN1 coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. C. Sardinha came on, O. Metelskiy had to leave the fray. E. Ueckermann became the new URAHAN1 captain. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, URAHAN1's D. Forrest was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 80 minutes. S. Ryzhykh was given a chance to change things around. Motorhead had most of the ball, with 61 percent of possession.

Motorhead's top performer was clearly T. Garcia Jr.. A. Josefsson on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important URAHAN1 player was J. Neveu. D. Khamitov was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 0.
