BUGGER21 4 - 0 Bokmakieries (371745175)

Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 55523 at BUGGER21 Arena today. Szymon Strachota was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Evgeniy Kolotovkin and Sjoerd Timman. BUGGER21 had chosen a strategic 2-5-3 formation. The following players took the field: Chiminoski - Dalkılıç, Rutt - Pentassuglia, De Maria, Evecen, Zuanović, Ruppitsch - Kuliński, Dimitriu, Figueiredo.

Bokmakieries decided to use a 5-3-2 set up. They fielded: Babiński - Brito Costa, Ingemarsson, Bukkems, Marquand, Suner - Schik, Gründl, Mangili - Costa, Quiriti.

Bokmakieries clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. Bokmakieries's C. Marquand got himself booked for a foul. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to O. Figueiredo, but the BUGGER21 player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! Bokmakieries had a chance to level the score as J. Mangili suddenly found himself free in the middle of the box with only the keeper to beat, but he misjudged the finish, and only managed to hit the bar. BUGGER21's G. Pentassuglia saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 39 minutes. With 40 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of Bokmakieries resulted in a counterattack that set S. Bukkems free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save. 41 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as T. Kuliński broke through, making the score 2 - 0 for BUGGER21. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to BUGGER21, who controlled the ball 63 percent of the time.

Given a free kick close to the byline, BUGGER21 tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let T. Kuliński slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 3 - 0, 57 minutes into the game. At this point, it was obvious that the players of BUGGER21 lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. BUGGER21's O. Figueiredo swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. The coach of BUGGER21 was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 68 minutes, A. Somellera came on for O. Figueiredo. R. Dimitriu became the new BUGGER21 captain. The BUGGER21 players could smell victory in the air. A. Dalkılıç wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for Q. Kaleel after 70 minutes. Cheers filled the stadium as T. Kuliński broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 4 - 0 to BUGGER21. This third goal completed a hattrick for T. Kuliński. The crowd gasped as Q. Kaleel of BUGGER21 was flattened by an opponent after 78 minutes and had to be carried off. S. Rasmussen came in off the bench. BUGGER21 claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 63 percent.

A. De Maria performed admirably for BUGGER21. S. Rasmussen was a disappointment, however. Bokmakieries's top performer was clearly V. Costa. A. Babiński on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 4 - 0.
