Lecheria 6 - 0 Worms (378617852)

It had rained all day, but 2740 hardy fans still made it out to A.C Lecheria Arena. Jaak Dauwe was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Kjell Kristiansen and Mauro José Liano. A 4-3-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Lecheria. Starters: Krybus - Hussain, Paim, Petaros, Grunov - Merchán, Echenique, Méndez - Fröbo, MacGregor, Cezayirli.

Worms had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Roussel - Chauvat, Joninas, Vogelmann - Radoń, Weisheimer, Rodenbeck, Colin, Otzenberger - Sallet, Lugg.

Lecheria tried to focus their attacks down the middle. They were singing the praises of A. Fröbo 6 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 1 - 0 to Lecheria. R. Méndez could have increased the lead after 9 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. 18 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as M. Cezayirli broke through, making the score 2 - 0 for Lecheria. A. Weisheimer was having a great game - if anything the pouring rain seemed to be spurring him on! C. Cuevas was called on to replace Lecheria's R. Méndez after 35 minutes following a nasty collision. Lecheria's N. Petaros had an excellent opportunity after 42 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! 2 - 0 was the halftime score. Lecheria claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 72 percent.

After 52 minutes a well-practised indirect free kick routine by Lecheria was easily anticipated by the defenders. The players forward were so well marked, they were left with few viable options. E. Merchán increased the lead for Lecheria to 3 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! Cheers filled the stadium as A. Fröbo broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 4 - 0 to Lecheria. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Lecheria to 5 - 0 as M. Cezayirli finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. By now, the players in Lecheria felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. M. Cezayirli squirmed through their central defence after 70 minutes, increasing the lead to 6 - 0. That made three goals for M. Cezayirli and he was marked down for the hat trick. The crowd gasped as A. Weisheimer of Worms was flattened by an opponent after 74 minutes and had to be carried off. T. Kutija came in off the bench. Lecheria had most of the ball, with 69 percent of possession.

Lecheria's best player was D. Echenique. On the other hand, N. Grunov's play was disheartening. Worms's top performer was clearly T. Kutija. B. Joninas on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 6 - 0.
