GLUCK 1 - 2 LANCERS (377288999)

63308 spectators had come to GLUCK Arena this cloudy day. Pedro Baquero was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Thomas Daniels and Landuin Hofmann-Schäfer. GLUCK started off with a 5-4-1 lineup. They fielded: Mavromatidis - Couffin, Ćosić, Barral, Gołba, Beltrán - Galle, Matteuzzi, Eller, Canal - Oreshko.

LANCERS decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Starters: Pighin - Masuko, Bežić, Takeshita - Małasiewicz, Fraire, Matsukata, 森 (Mori), Kouba - Iwahashi, Tambalo.

LANCERS demonstrated their creative tactics on the field. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 15 minutes into the match left LANCERS's G. Tambalo completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. 23 minutes into the match, F. Kouba came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. A well placed corner kick from L. Matteuzzi was followed by B. Oreshko's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for GLUCK, the score now 1 - 1. LANCERS's M. Masuko was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 32 minutes. 1 - 1 was the score after the first half. LANCERS had most of the ball, with 63 percent of possession.

60 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a LANCERS substitution. V. Schito came on for D. Iwahashi. LANCERS made it 1 - 2 as V. Schito got a touch to the floated corner kick and flicked the ball to A. Fraire who whipped a low drive in off the far post. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, GLUCK's J. Eller was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 65 minutes. K. Gülnihal was given a chance to change things around. The bench was restless, and with 65 minutes passed GLUCK's coach gave Z. Jendrzej the opportunity the player had been hoping for. B. Galle reluctantly left the field. 83 minutes into the game, LANCERS worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. Possession in this half belonged to LANCERS, who controlled the ball 63 percent of the time.

Most important GLUCK player was M. Canal. Y. Mavromatidis was a disappointment, however. The most dominating LANCERS player was without a doubt G. Tambalo. However, M. Masuko made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 2.
