NAP 0 - 4 Naturnser (364463244)

Due to an all-day shower, 12000 paying spectators got to see a match on a pitch-turned-bog at San Paolo. Ahmet Uluğ was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Maurice Duer and Luca Sindelfingen. NAP decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. The following players took the field: Filipelli - van Loenen, Surovčák, Kodinos, Troiani - Serra, Tinelli, Berg, Helnwein - Pintor, Gliebkus.

A 5-3-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Naturnser. Lineup: Hénaut - Cercel, Stella, Koumagou, Manenti, de Jesus - Borkov, Attazzo, Palmas - Corveddu, Niewielski.

M. Manenti of Naturnser received a yellow card after 32 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. M. Helnwein was struggling to make the ball dance with his usual trickery and panache, and the opposing players had little trouble shutting him down in these muddy conditions. A. Serra did not have a good day today, often losing his footing on the muddy pitch. N. Cercel of Naturnser was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Naturnser's S. Niewielski managed to lose the defenders as he advanced down the right wing and scored, putting the visitors ahead after 43 minutes. 0 - 1. 0 - 1 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Naturnser, with 56 percent of the ball.

Naturnser increased their lead after 53 minutes when A. de Jesus broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 2, much to the home crowd's dismay. The crowd groaned when H. Berg, having maneuvered his way down the right, fired the ball just wide and missed a great opportunity to reduce the deficit for NAP. A. Koumagou increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 3. After 73 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed A. de Jesus to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 4. Confident in their lead, Naturnser's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. N. Cercel wanted to play on, but the Naturnser coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 80 minutes into the game by I. Virassamy. The coach of Naturnser was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 80 minutes, M. Pezzutti came on for S. Niewielski. Naturnser came close to extending their lead as M. Manenti delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 85 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. Naturnser enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 62 percent of possession.

Most important NAP player was A. Gliebkus. However, A. Filipelli made a disastrous appearance. F. Corveddu performed admirably for Naturnser. A. de Jesus on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 4.
