SADRAZAM 2 - 1 Ceylan (373357559)

The 33506 fans in attendance at **papazın ÇAYIRI** were roasting in the hot sun. Anastasios Stavridis was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Ömür Toprak and Kris Pichai. SADRAZAM had chosen a strategic 5-3-2 formation. Starters: van Gessel - Misiarz, Štuikis, Schöngeising, Fellini, Dhert - Erdoğan, Taloş, Yaltır - Ingerslev, Berrioategortua.

Ceylan decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Schmidt-Burr - Salquin, Lelong, Tuvstad - Sztuka, Çakabey, Balent, Chećko, Castrillón - Žofka, Cotes.

Many thought E. Misiarz ought to have been awarded a penalty 41 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around C. Schmidt-Burr after a determined run through the middle. After 42 minutes, Ceylan 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 H. Sztuka, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 0 - 1. 44 minutes into the game, Ceylan worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. After 44 minutes, SADRAZAM were awarded a free kick as their counter attack broke down. The set piece was lifted over the top, intended to open up the defence. However, the target man seemed to be taken by surprise, and could not reach the ball before it crossed the line for a goal kick. 44 minutes into the game, G. van Gessel had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came Ö. Efsa. It was 0 - 1 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by SADRAZAM, with 63 percent of the ball.

After 54 minutes of play, T. Berrioategortua evened things up for SADRAZAM with an impressive goal coming up the middle. 1 - 1. L. Štuikis's technique was perfect on this sunny day and led to some breathtaking tricks that bamboozled the defence. After 61 minutes, T. Berrioategortua came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 2 - 1, giving SADRAZAM the lead. SADRAZAM claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 62 percent.

SADRAZAM's best player was T. Berrioategortua. Ö. Efsa turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important Ceylan player was F. Žofka. C. Çakabey was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 1.
