Nockname 5 - 1 COLONIA (377771395)

447 fans braved the pouring rain at OGV C.F.. Mika Wiblom was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Antonios Fitrakis and Eno Pula. Nockname decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Schmidt - Colmant, Ðorđić, Romero - Hansen, Alencar, Kale, Thøgersen, Chasot - Chosson, Dalmau.

COLONIA had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. Starters: Sorlí - Torák, Calvillo, Dremsizov - Goutis, Veening, Santanna, Belmar - Montoto, Silveiro, Paynel.

The wings were the focus of most of Nockname's attacks today. E. Thøgersen was struggling to make the ball dance with his usual trickery and panache, and the opposing players had little trouble shutting him down in these muddy conditions. Players in Nockname heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. With 4 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as S. Chosson flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. M. Ðorđić squirmed through their central defence after 25 minutes, increasing the lead to 2 - 0. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Nockname scored another to make it 3 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for J. Hansen after 30 minutes. After 32 minutes, COLONIA's B. Santanna fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! N. Kale unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. 39 minutes into the game, COLONIA seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a weak level of organisation. 3 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Nockname, with 65 percent of the ball.

The coach gave his players an extra tactical briefing during the break, and after that COLONIA had passable organisation. The coach of Nockname was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, C. Trąba came on for D. Alencar. D. Colmant wanted to play on, but the Nockname coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 60 minutes into the game by T. Paluch. Still ahead in the game after 61 minutes, Nockname made some tactical adjustments. M. Ðorđić and T. Paluch swapped positions. Nockname's E. Thøgersen swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. The Nockname players could smell victory in the air. T. Dalmau wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for R. Nava after 70 minutes. R. Romero became the new Nockname captain. Unfortunately for Nockname, R. Romero suffered a concussion after 71 minutes and had to be taken for tests. The coach had his head in his hands after realising he could not send a replacement onto the pitch, and the team had to continue a man short. R. Nava was the new captain of Nockname - handed the armband by the departing player. After 72 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as COLONIA found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to passable. After 79 minutes, S. Chosson put Nockname ahead 4 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. After 80 minutes, Nockname's R. Nava found the back of the goal with a beautiful free kick. 5 - 0. By now, the players in Nockname felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. COLONIA made it 5 - 1 as J. Montoto got a touch to the floated corner kick and flicked the ball to A. Torák who whipped a low drive in off the far post. M. Ðorđić could have put Nockname up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 85 minutes. COLONIA had to manage with a reduced squad after 86 minutes, as J. Montoto got sent off for a needless foul away from the game's action. Possession in this half belonged to Nockname, who controlled the ball 68 percent of the time.

Nockname's top performer was clearly R. Nava. However, M. Ðorđić made a disastrous appearance. A. Paynel performed admirably for COLONIA. On the other hand, A. Torák's play was disheartening. The match ends 5 - 1.
