Pantoffeltierchen 2 - 0 Škis (367038504)

Dark skies made the crowd of 33351 at nec plus ultra a little nervous, but the rain held off. Donald Eekhof was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Robert Laks and Per Strömkvist. Pantoffeltierchen had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Gazca - Torres Cabrera, Garbsen, Ćirić - Grandovec, Dolinar, Przybyło, Maslar, Kulkki - Ciobanu, Oğuzer.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Škis. The following players took the field: Dürrschmidt - Bak, Tranchand, Sadio - Pronk, Marty, 項鵬 (Xiangpeng) , Delucchi, Kotro - Gleyze, Herre.

S. Oğuzer's lightning pace was too much for J. Tranchand who could only look on as the Pantoffeltierchen player blasted one home. 1 - 0. After 29 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by J. Maslar might have resulted in another goal for Pantoffeltierchen. However, A. Dürrschmidt made a spectacular save. Coming from the right, V. Kulkki almost managed to score another goal for Pantoffeltierchen, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. H. Grandovec of Pantoffeltierchen seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 2 - 0 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by J. Torres Cabrera. Confident in their lead, Pantoffeltierchen's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. The home side's R. Ciobanu came close to extending the lead 42 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but A. Dürrschmidt managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. Škis's S. Kotro refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 44 minutes. 2 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to Pantoffeltierchen, who controlled the ball 55 percent of the time.

S. Oğuzer wanted to play on, but the Pantoffeltierchen coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 46 minutes into the game by J. Lazarevič. Pantoffeltierchen's opponents know to be wary of V. Kulkki's speed, but it made little difference as he flew past the defence 47 minutes into the game. Only the keeper could stop him - and he did with a perfectly timed dive! O. Sadio had a couple of good opportunities to reply, but the home team's keeper F. Gazca was simply unbeatable. In the lead, Pantoffeltierchen adjusted their style of play with 70 minutes gone. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Pantoffeltierchen coach let N. Bajželj replace T. Przybyło after 72 minutes. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Pantoffeltierchen, with 59 percent of the ball.

Most important Pantoffeltierchen player was J. Lazarevič. V. Ćirić turned in a dismal performance, however. Škis's top performer was clearly G. Gleyze. However, A. Dürrschmidt made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 0.
