FC_SanktGallen 0 - 5 RetroLetzigrundKick (349179712)

It had rained all day, but 7296 hardy fans still made it out to SG - Arena. Lucjan Szajer was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Elias Lönnborn and Jean-Paul Mora. FC_SanktGallen decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Truşcă - Gröber, Soyak, de Medeiros - Anne, Südy, Wadehängen, Erny, Burghgraaff - Marin Cano, Billet.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for RetroLetzigrundKick. The following players took the field: Zadeh - Venclauskas, Marassi, Regine, Kalnas - Grolleau, Gabay, Gac, Mańkowski - Messmer, Grunddahl.

FC_SanktGallen mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 3 minutes into the match left RetroLetzigrundKick's N. Marassi completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. RetroLetzigrundKick's N. Marassi was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 8 minutes. The visitors' N. Venclauskas took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 22 minutes into the match. 0 - 2 for RetroLetzigrundKick. RetroLetzigrundKick's L. Regine was shown a yellow card after 32 minutes for slicing down an opponent. J. Marin Cano spent most of the time in a heap on the ground today, his normally rapid movement hindered by the slippery pitch. Some things can only be learned through experience, and A. Soyak should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting RetroLetzigrundKick a goal with 34 minutes of the match played. A misunderstanding between the visitors' keeper C. Zadeh and his left defence could have resulted in a goal for FC_SanktGallen, but F. Burghgraaff's finish was way too lame. After 36 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave J. Grunddahl a chance to increase the lead for RetroLetzigrundKick, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 3. When N. Marassi made yet another studs-first tackle after 37 minutes, the referee was obliged to book the RetroLetzigrundKick player for the second time, sending him off the pitch. With 38 minutes played, RetroLetzigrundKick put themselves up 0 - 4 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was J. Grunddahl. After this, you could see that the players of RetroLetzigrundKick were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. With 40 minutes played, B. Billet of FC_SanktGallen fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 4. Possession in this half belonged to RetroLetzigrundKick, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

63 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 5 as J. Grunddahl finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. This third goal completed a hattrick for J. Grunddahl. After 72 minutes, RetroLetzigrundKick's J. Grunddahl fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! RetroLetzigrundKick enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 53 percent of possession.

FC_SanktGallen's best player was P. Südy. On the other hand, O. Erny's play was disheartening. Most important RetroLetzigrundKick player was P. Gac. However, J. Grunddahl made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 5.
