Meer 1 - 2 JUVEagainstherest (373935295)

40000 spectators had come to De Meer this cloudy day. Davide Stignani was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Raffaele Nuccio and Alex Maróti. A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Meer. The following players took the field: Cojocaru - Sielewicz, Kucelin, Putz - Setnicka, Latt, Burti, Berson - Puglits, Seilius, Bittner.

JUVEagainstherest tactics involved an interesting 4-5-1 combination. Starters: Eszlári - Dufour, Tieje, Paiva, Børgh - Decaux, Toneatti, Manil, Gandrup, Blichfelt - Kefalakis.

C. Cojocaru looked great 3 minutes into the match after stopping a shot from the middle of the penalty area from the visitors' S. Gandrup. Meer's R. Setnicka tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. A lovely run by JUVEagainstherest's N. Kefalakis left his markers for dead and should have resulted in a goal, but the finish went just wide. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, S. Toneatti got himself booked. The manager of JUVEagainstherest was not happy. Meer made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left F. Putz completely alone with keeper B. Eszlári, who made a spectacular block. 0 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to JUVEagainstherest, who controlled the ball 56 percent of the time.

M. Børgh would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. Y. Mesika entered the game for JUVEagainstherest as the match clock showed 46 minutes. The coach of JUVEagainstherest wanted to try to change things around after 46 minutes, and gave new tactical instructions. Priding himself in being an active coach, the JUVEagainstherest manager gave new instructions to his players after 46 minutes. The home crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief when S. Toneatti was unable to put the ball in the net after his show of skill down the left 67 minutes into the match. He was seen beating the pitch in frustration at missing such a good chance to give his team the lead! 71 minutes in, Meer's F. Putz received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The visitors grabbed the lead after N. Kefalakis's free kick succeeded, resulting in a score of 0 - 1. Some fine passing in the middle of the pitch, carving open the away defence, should have led to a goal for Meer, but F. Putz's shot went over the bar. Y. Mesika increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 2. It took several tries, but Meer managed to break through on the left after 82 minutes, getting the ball to F. Seilius who easily reduced the lead to make the score 1 - 2. JUVEagainstherest claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

F. Seilius performed admirably for Meer. C. Cojocaru turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating JUVEagainstherest player was without a doubt N. Kefalakis. M. Blichfelt was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 2.
