Razortails 2 - 1 THC/KLUB (379030676)

Arnaldo Liberona was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Alfonso Abascal and Kamil Domaszczyński. Razortails tactics involved an interesting 5-3-2 combination. Starters: Mala - Bande, Läfhult, Lehwaldt, Pittis, Gurbisz - Nederland, Sedsjö, Stensson - Karpinchik, Štefanatý.

THC/KLUB had chosen a strategic 5-4-1 formation. Lineup: Sapieha - Paniagua, Reimann, Potočnjek, Ledermann, Floman - Zadnik, Smerdu, Barcan, Carvajal - van de Loo.

THC/KLUB's G. Paniagua could have put the guests one up after 14 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but J. Mala was as fast as a snake, grabbing the ball from under his nose. As L. Läfhult had, completely unprovoked, swept the legs out from under an opponent in front of a linesman, the referee gave the Razortails player a red card without batting an eyelid. 30 minutes into the game, Razortails seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to inadequate. 0 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by THC/KLUB, with 71 percent of the ball.

Despite his frustration resulting in the smashing of a few teacups, the coach of Razortails was able to get his message across, and raised Razortails's organisation to solid. After 46 minutes, the THC/KLUB coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving E. Floman off the field. I. Czédli took his place. 49 minutes into the game, Razortails had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to inadequate. 69 minutes into the game, Razortails seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a poor level of organisation. THC/KLUB had most of the ball, with 72 percent of possession.

Still tied after 90 minutes, the match continued into extra time. The Razortails players spent the break getting a rerun of the team's tactical organisation and regained a passable organisation when the game started again. With the clock showing 106 minutes played, a great pass from the defensive line of Razortails resulted in a counterattack that was smoothly brought under control by C. Bande in the centre of the opposition's penalty area, but his finish went high. With the score still deadlocked after extra time, the teams took to the field for a penalty shoot-out to decide the winner.

Oooh - how unlucky! Razortails's F. Pittis attempt hit the underside of the bar, but rebounded down into the grateful arms of A. Sapieha. The score stays 0 - 0. THC/KLUB's E. Potočnjek looked like he knew exactly where he wanted to put the ball, but unfortunately his shot went wide of the left hand post. Still 0 - 0. Razortails's J. Mala appeared to lose his focus as he laid down an easy shot. A. Sapieha's concentration wasn't any better however, as the ball passed him on the right for 1 - 0. Clearly nervous from the start, THC/KLUB's P. Reimann took a long run up, but could only blast the ball over the bar. The score remains 1 - 0. Razortails's A. Nederland coolly put the ball past A. Sapieha. 2 - 0. THC/KLUB's G. Paniagua didn't look like he was confident as he stepped up, and produced a badly struck penalty - right into the arms of J. Mala. The score remained 2 - 0. Razortails's J. Sedsjö looked nervous even as he was putting the ball on the spot. He didn't take much of a run up, and his weak shot was easily saved by the keeper. THC/KLUB's S. Ledermann looked like he knew exactly where he wanted to put the ball, but unfortunately his shot went wide of the left hand post. Still 2 - 0. Razortails's L. Stensson looked nervous even as he was putting the ball on the spot. He didn't take much of a run up, and his weak shot was easily saved by the keeper. THC/KLUB's I. Czédli showed he has nerves of steel when it comes to penalties, easily changing the score to 2 - 1. Razortails's top performer was clearly I. Karpinchik. However, J. Mala made a disastrous appearance. THC/KLUB's best player was J. Carvajal. R. van de Loo was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 1.
