Pommern 1 - 0 Buchholz (368940216)

21928 spectators had come to Pommern Arena this cloudy day. Ilya Heinsbroek was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Christer Gunnarsson and Kurt Aberli. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Pommern. The following players took the field: Wallaschek - Lütte, Oettl, Jeritza - Iciar, Dennerlein, Kakouras, Heumel, Le Dorze - Kirchmann, Gerdstedt.

Buchholz tactics involved an interesting 3-4-3 combination. Starters: Priest - Pichelmann, Kushmero, Gyllenander - Spoerr, Sirgo, Revheim, Bellmann - Goldfuß, Pingel, Mincone.

Some things can only be learned through experience, and E. Gyllenander should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting Pommern a goal with 24 minutes of the match played. Good work by the Pommern defensive line after 29 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found M. Kirchmann alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. H. Bellmann made a nice dash down the wing after 40 minutes, but was unable to get the cross into the box. A goal kick was awarded. 41 minutes in, the referee awarded Pommern a penalty. M. Kirchmann coolly slotted it home for a 1 - 0 lead. The visitors almost came back with an equaliser 43 minutes into the match after a good combination down the middle, but when J. Revheim tried to finish the attack, he couldn't deliver the shot hard enough to seriously challenge the keeper. Halftime score was 1 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to Buchholz, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

Pommern's E. Jeritza swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. Buchholz's A. Goldfuß left the field after 67 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was M. Leipzig. The home side's G. Le Dorze came close to extending the lead 72 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but F. Priest managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. The referee showed Pommern's G. Le Dorze the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Buchholz had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

Pommern's top performer was clearly T. Oettl. Y. Kakouras on the other hand, had a terrible day. K. Pingel performed admirably for Buchholz. However, M. Leipzig made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 0.
