Koren 0 - 2 OmyTeam (379048477)

4502 punters turned up at Koren's Doelpuntenparadijs, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Yoon van Sichem was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Francisco Jesús Meléndez and Toni Särkkä. Koren started off with a 4-5-1 lineup. They fielded: van der Zijden - Katzburg, Della Rosa, Marascalchi, Lagido - Davidescu, Petta, Mota Pacheco, Lembo, Casasola - Maassen.

OmyTeam had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. Lineup: Guiral - Lebourgeois, Paiva, Lassagne - Freundschlag, Weismuller, Goncalves, Méchain - Bátkovský, Guillaud, Davoli.

Koren immediately set off using their skill at pressing their opponents. G. Méchain came close to putting the visiting team one up 14 minutes into the match, following a solo raid down the middle, but F. van der Zijden managed to tip the ball to a corner. With the clock showing 15 minutes played, a great pass from the defensive line of Koren resulted in a counterattack that was smoothly brought under control by G. Lembo in the centre of the opposition's penalty area, but his finish went high. Koren's ability to press all over the field frequently paid dividends. OmyTeam's M. Lebourgeois got himself booked for a foul. A loud groan was heard from the fans of Koren, as G. Lembo left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. S. Staszak took his place on the field. 36 minutes in, Koren appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only inadequate. The referee showed OmyTeam's C. Guillaud the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. OmyTeam took the lead after 41 minutes making the score 0 - 1. J. Davoli placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. The counterattacks of OmyTeam were deadly and 44 minutes into the game, J. Davoli received a nice pass from the right flank, making it 0 - 2. 0 - 2 was the score after the first half. OmyTeam claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 52 percent.

Despite his frustration resulting in the smashing of a few teacups, the coach of Koren was able to get his message across, and raised Koren's organisation to solid. 66 minutes into the game, Koren seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to inadequate. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave S. Staszak from Koren a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 67 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Koren pressed their opponents, causing the game to be a bit of a stalemate at times. C. Guillaud remonstrated furiously with the referee after OmyTeam had another decision go against them. The referee had no alternative but to show him another yellow card and send him from the pitch. Koren's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. At this time in the match, Koren were using their skill at pressing to successfully stifle the game. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by OmyTeam, with 51 percent of the ball.

Most important Koren player was S. Staszak. On the other hand, F. van der Zijden's play was disheartening. OmyTeam's top performer was clearly B. Bátkovský. É. Guiral on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 2.
