EINTRACHT 0 - 12 Dürkheim (369253513)

6279 spectators had come to Bermer - Schmäuß - Arena this cloudy day. Radoje Gavrilović was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Gerold Francken and Jure Kejžar. EINTRACHT decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Lehmkuhl - Mihri, Trabenthal, Rosak, Langeneke - Nedeljković, Slamnig, Uzan, Loeb - Muhm, Schwarz-Fricke.

Dürkheim started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. They fielded: Willim - Oebel, Rauner, Lenk, Bogenschneider - Lichtsuss, Oberbüssau, Heystedt, Äijänen - Habitzheim, Bugner.

Dürkheim clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. T. Heystedt received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 3 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. The visiting T. Heystedt was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 28 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. K. Lenk increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 2. By now, the players in Dürkheim felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. O. Habitzheim of Dürkheim took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 38 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 3. 39 minutes into the game a free kick by W. Bugner found its way through the home side's poorly assembled defensive formation, making Dürkheim's lead 0 - 4. A drive down the left side allowed K. Lenk to get in close and score another goal for Dürkheim after 40 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 5. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave W. Rosak from EINTRACHT a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 41 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 5. Possession in this half belonged to Dürkheim, who controlled the ball 71 percent of the time.

After 54 minutes, Dürkheim sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached F. Lichtsuss, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 0 - 6. Dürkheim showed their counterattack skill 64 minutes into the match by breaking through the middle, with O. Habitzheim scoring uncontested for 0 - 7. W. Bugner increased Dürkheim's lead to 0 - 8 with a superb free kick strike that flew in just under the far top corner. After 72 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed O. Habitzheim to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 9. That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for O. Habitzheim. Dürkheim's O. Habitzheim has the wonderful ability to create chances out of thin air. 74 minutes into the match he bamboozled a couple of opposition defenders before sending the keeper the wrong way and sidefooting the ball home into an empty net. That totally unexpected burst of flair made it 0 - 10. After 76 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave F. Lichtsuss a chance to increase the lead for Dürkheim, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 11. F. Lichtsuss of Dürkheim received a yellow card after 82 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. With 83 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed K. Bogenschneider of Dürkheim to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 12. Dürkheim's K. Lenk was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 85 minutes. Dürkheim had most of the ball, with 78 percent of possession.

The most dominating EINTRACHT player was without a doubt M. Nedeljković. On the other hand, H. Lehmkuhl's play was disheartening. Dürkheim's best player was O. Habitzheim. However, K. Bogenschneider made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 12.
