Wemels 2 - 2 Rulesz (374639260)

41454 spectators had come to Wemels Arena this cloudy day. Franz Bräuml was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Livio Piciarelli and Rustam Alyautdinov. Wemels had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players took the field: Hoogervorst - van Poelgeest, Hering, Olsen - Seriese, van Dorst, Delonge, Rook, Drost - de Wael, Geebelen.

Rulesz started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Starters: Abbas - Cioc, Koops, Hunkeler - Hochreutener, Cantón, Bøgeskov, Jegerings, Kamp - Habar, Puig.

R. Hering caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 5 minutes. This gave Wemels the 1 - 0 lead. The swift technical skills of D. Habar were often too much for the tall but somewhat slow A. van Poelgeest who was humiliated after 6 minutes. He'll be breathing a huge sigh of relief after the final shot went wide. The visitors' H. Jegerings was alert after a cross coming in from the left, levelling the score at 1 - 1 after 19 minutes. 27 minutes in, Wemels's S. de Wael received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Some great play up the middle by Wemels led to a chance for P. Geebelen to score after 30 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. Down the middle came J. Puig, making a fantastic play that nearly had Rulesz take the lead after 31 minutes, but S. Hoogervorst preserved the tie. It was 1 - 1 at the break. Rulesz had most of the ball, with 54 percent of possession.

69 minutes into the game, H. Jegerings had a great chance to put his team ahead, but his kick from the left went wide. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 78 minutes into the match left Rulesz's I. Cantón completely free to score. 1 - 2 for the visitors. Wemels needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 79 minutes A. van Poelgeest made way for G. den Tenter. 85 minutes in, and Wemels were able to score the equalising goal to make it 2 - 2 when G. den Tenter picked up a pass coming in from the right and chipped it past the away team's keeper. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Rulesz, with 56 percent of the ball.

Most important Wemels player was G. den Tenter. S. Delonge was a disappointment, however. D. Habar performed admirably for Rulesz. M. Cioc on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 2.
