Real 1 - 4 K18 (378746697)

2666 spectators had found their way to Real Kampus, despite the heavy rain. Jordi Lamela was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Iso Ritsch and Donald Tochilin. Real started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Zorita Muñoz - Bém, Willi, Dusik - Hrdlička, Wouda, Ficarra, Del Genio, Daddario - Jagoda, Vaha.

K18 decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Starters: Brandes - Rosenkilde, Gustavsen, Bangsgaard - Kautz, Bredballe, Aabye-Hansen, Goussin, Miller - Villumsen, Lecerf.

Real used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. K18 tried to focus their attacks down the middle. K. Bredballe was having a great game - if anything the pouring rain seemed to be spurring him on! K18's T. Aabye-Hansen managed to lose the defenders as he advanced down the right wing and scored, putting the visitors ahead after 30 minutes. 0 - 1. With 37 minutes played, after a good run down the left, V. Ficarra went down looking for a penalty after a challenge from the visitors' right fullback, but the referee waved play on, and later warned him for diving. The crowd chanted their encouragement as Real's W. Del Genio came in from the right after 38 minutes and put the ball in the net to level the score at 1 - 1. The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of K18's T. Kautz after 41 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 1 - 2 lead. In a rapid move 42 minutes into the match, T. Kautz of K18 lost his man and passed the ball to the unmarked P. Lecerf who easily hit it home to make it 1 - 3. Luckily the ref didn't see him taunting the opposing fans in celebration - naughty boy! Real's W. Del Genio left the field after 44 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was V. Zyablitskiy. V. Zyablitskiy became the new Real captain. It was 1 - 3 at the break. K18 claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 56 percent.

B. Rosenkilde was, after 47 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper C. Zorita Muñoz made the save. The referee signalled a penalty 56 minutes into the game following an offence which looked like it was outside the box. D. Goussin knocked it home to make the score 1 - 4. By now, the players in K18 felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. When V. Ficarra left the game because of a back injury after 58 minutes, Real had to continue a man short due to there being no available replacements. T. Kautz slipped and slithered in the wet grass. His usual rapid runs were nowhere to be seen today. 66 minutes into the match, K. Miller came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. K18 had most of the ball, with 65 percent of possession.

Z. Dusik performed admirably for Real. Z. Jagoda turned in a dismal performance, however. K18's best player was P. Lecerf. W. Gustavsen was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 4.
