BallBrofis 5 - 1 Schönbornring (368742384)

59656 spectators arrived at DresdnerDribbelDome, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Claudiu Grosu was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Thomas Jastrup and Marc Reinders. BallBrofis tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Starters: Esteva - Gorocín, Cubides, Schäffer - Vătăşescu, Trapolino, Stater, Berg Sørensen, Tuvhult - Calzolari, Mosek.

Schönbornring decided to use a 4-3-3 set up. They fielded: van Bree - Enzenberg, Lyst, Désiré, Baresi - Breite, Hirl, Stoß - Cum, Espìno, Bordi.

Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Schönbornring. BallBrofis took the lead after 20 minutes as a result of K. Mosek's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave S. Calzolari from BallBrofis a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 26 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! 32 minutes into the match N. Stater put BallBrofis ahead 2 - 0 with a truly marvelous free kick. Having just won a lot of ground following a quick turn of play, Schönbornring were given a free kick at a sharp angle. Rather than going for the direct shot, the defence was bypassed by a few sideways passes, giving A. Bordi the chance to slip through at goal. Nice teamwork! And 2 - 1, 35 minutes into the game. It was 2 - 1 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by BallBrofis, with 77 percent of the ball.

P. Berg Sørensen should probably have put his team up another goal after 59 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by B. van Bree kept the visitors in the game. After 60 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by D. Schäffer might have resulted in another goal for BallBrofis. However, B. van Bree made a spectacular save. BallBrofis's N. Stater increased the lead to 3 - 1, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 64 minutes. After 65 minutes, A. Gorocín put BallBrofis ahead 4 - 1 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. N. Stater struck a 30 metre free kick home 75 minutes into the match. 5 - 1 for the home team. By then N. Stater had scored three goals - a hat trick! At this point, it was obvious that the players of BallBrofis lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. Possession in this half belonged to BallBrofis, who controlled the ball 77 percent of the time.

The most dominating BallBrofis player was without a doubt S. Calzolari. M. Tuvhult on the other hand, had a terrible day. Schönbornring's top performer was clearly G. Cum. F. Désiré was a disappointment, however. The match ends 5 - 1.
