BallsportlerInnen 7 - 0 Buchholz (368940207)

It was an exceptionally sunny day for the crowd of 27787 that came out to SuperDome of Surprise [S-O-S]. Dags Krivmans was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Tomke Hoser and Alexandre Bodiguel. BallsportlerInnen tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: van der Ploeg - Lennartsson, Taherkhan, Ronteltap - Negri, Teufl, Sastre, Dipold, Saarlouis - Liekut, Mittermann.

Buchholz had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. The following players had been chosen: Yılmaz - Schladern, Pichelmann, Wimpassinger - Bellmann, Revheim, Gyllenander, Jańczyk - Rohr, Goldfuß, Leipzig.

BallsportlerInnen were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. The wings were the focus of most of Buchholz's attacks today. 7 minutes into the game, B. van der Ploeg had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came H. Gutzeit. The home side put themselves ahead 1 - 0 after 19 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from C. Ronteltap, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. It was obvious that BallsportlerInnen had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. Things were deteriorating for the away team as BallsportlerInnen scored another to make it 2 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for P. Mittermann after 24 minutes. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of BallsportlerInnen to 3 - 0 as S. Sastre finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. Buchholz's E. Gyllenander was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 32 minutes. With 33 minutes played, BallsportlerInnen put themselves up 4 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to P. Mittermann, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. By now, the players in BallsportlerInnen felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. BallsportlerInnen solidified their lead at the 38 minute mark, as P. Mittermann dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 5 - 0. By then P. Mittermann had scored three goals - a hat trick! It was 5 - 0 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to BallsportlerInnen, who controlled the ball 72 percent of the time.

BallsportlerInnen put themselves up 6 - 0 when P. Lennartsson broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. S. Taherkhan should probably have put his team up another goal after 67 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by M. Yılmaz kept the visitors in the game. M. Wimpassinger found it hard to catch his breath today in the stifling heat. K. Teufl left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 70 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. F. Waldecker was the replacement. The BallsportlerInnen captaincy was handed to P. Lennartsson. Content with how the game was proceeding, the BallsportlerInnen coach let M. Nimptsch replace S. Negri after 70 minutes. BallsportlerInnen increased the lead as S. Sastre struck to make the score 7 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. Attacking on the wings was the choice for BallsportlerInnen, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. With 80 minutes gone, Buchholz's E. Gyllenander had to leave the pitch after talking back to the referee and receiving his second booking. BallsportlerInnen claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 79 percent.

BallsportlerInnen's best player was P. Mittermann. On the other hand, H. Gutzeit's play was disheartening. H. Bellmann performed admirably for Buchholz. However, M. Yılmaz made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 7 - 0.
