The crowd of 15290 turning up at VfL EISENJOE Arena today were greeted with some nasty showers of rain. Bogdan Tudoran was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Javier Parra and Juris Cimbaļuks. EISENJOE tactics involved an interesting 5-4-1 combination. They fielded: Cleven - Etschberger, Bombelka, Engelseck, Ossenbrook, Baldan - Oberdorfer, Ladendorf, Baster, Deutschendorf - Liedbom.

A 5-3-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Eversten. The following players had been chosen: Paraska - da Lagoa, Schickmyar, Aakerman, Furmans, Bramfeld - Haaning, Figan, Martí - Elmose, Figueiredo Cardoso.

Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for EISENJOE. For their match strategy, Eversten had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. Eversten's M. Aakerman got himself booked for a foul. EISENJOE made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left K. Oberdorfer completely alone with keeper E. Paraska, who made a spectacular block. The guests took the lead 42 minutes into the match, after a right-side attack resulted in B. Haaning scoring to make it 0 - 1. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to Eversten, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

L. Furmans sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from T. Figan after 58 minutes of play, making the score 0 - 2. It was a bad day for the usually speedy M. Etschberger. The mud seemed to slow him down. With 80 minutes gone, W. Schickmyar suddenly found himself completely free on the right wing when a counterattack by Eversten caught their opponents by surprise. Only a great save by the opposing keeper prevented him from scoring. Neither team was controlling the possession at this point in the match, with the stats showing a 50:50 split.

Most important EISENJOE player was H. Baster. However, W. Deutschendorf made a disastrous appearance. T. Figueiredo Cardoso performed admirably for Eversten. E. Paraska was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 2.
