Eintracht 0 - 1 Nord-Ost (368924770)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 19894 to Hillerse Okerhölle. Paolo Soro was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Faustyn Kasper and Dimosthenis Tsouchtras. Eintracht decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. Starters: Leinert - Tuvwald, Purcel, Gallez, Hoogzaad - Bauche, Berkmüller, Tuoto, Ivanović - Ulivieri, Asimomitis.

Nord-Ost started off with a 4-3-3 lineup. Lineup: Mattesini - Grabarczyk, Sliunkovas, Avrahami, Rampone - Polizzi, Järvinen, Adin - Elçibəy, Mahlambeni, Micciani.

Eintracht displayed their ability to play creatively. Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Nord-Ost. Nord-Ost's T. Mahlambeni got himself booked for a foul. In a fantastic display of determination, Eintracht's N. Asimomitis forced himself to his feet, after an opponent viciously knocked him down. 0 - 1 was the score with 35 minutes played, after S. Adin cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for Nord-Ost. It was 0 - 1 at the break. Nord-Ost had most of the ball, with 59 percent of possession.

Nord-Ost's L. Micciani made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 58 minutes into the match. After rounding the keeper, he only had to place the ball in the unguarded goal when a defender slid in and cleared the ball off the line. R. Stuhrmann was called on to replace Eintracht's M. Ivanović after 84 minutes following a nasty collision. After 85 minutes Nord-Ost's R. Sliunkovas limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. Neither team was controlling the possession at this point in the match, with the stats showing a 50:50 split.

Most important Eintracht player was D. Ulivieri. U. Berkmüller turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating Nord-Ost player was without a doubt İ. Elçibəy. On the other hand, R. Sliunkovas's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 1.
