CO2STOP 3 - 3 Rohde (358452226)

49613 punters turned up at Green Arena, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Gijs van Agtmaal was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Feddo Schalks and Mário Rui Raio. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for CO2STOP. They fielded: Collie-Duguid - Näsman, Zucca, Pescatori - Khorev, Jessen, Florentsen, Duran, Formella - Strohal, Forsberg.

Rohde decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Bennetzen - Song, Maranga, Kirkegaard - Fink Jensen, Kärrlius, Ludwig, Bagger Frandsen, Mönchmühle - Rönngård, Tollerud.

CO2STOP took the lead 19 minutes in, as D. Strohal broke through on the left and put the 1 - 0 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. Undaunted, Rohde managed to tie it all up after 34 minutes, with C. Bagger Frandsen's lucky free kick. The score was 1 - 1. CO2STOP were very close to putting themselves one up after 40 minutes as M. Pescatori got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. They were singing the praises of J. Jessen 41 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 2 - 1 to CO2STOP. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to CO2STOP, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

S. Mönchmühle's early cross saw the defenders caught out of position and the alert T. Tollerud was able to pounce and roll the ball past the hapless goalkeeper to score for Rohde. 2 - 2. After 51 minutes, Rohde's S. Mönchmühle made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 2 - 3. CO2STOP needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 70 minutes S. Florentsen made way for J. Schlüter. The crowd chanted their encouragement as CO2STOP's A. Forsberg came in from the right after 75 minutes and put the ball in the net to level the score at 3 - 3. CO2STOP's A. Forsberg tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by CO2STOP, with 53 percent of the ball.

The most dominating CO2STOP player was without a doubt A. Forsberg. On the other hand, W. Formella's play was disheartening. Rohde's top performer was clearly V. Rönngård. S. Mönchmühle on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 3.
