Művek 1 - 1 Leaos (379069272)

Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 2057 at Vörös Pokol today. Radosz Mnich was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Guo Soo Pheng and Keith Challis. Művek started off with a 4-5-1 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Puente - Matrljan, Von Bischhoffshausen, Tumó, Selendy - Tschudi, Laval, Göttling, Ramač, Tilmant - Soavã.

Leaos decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. Starters: Tarancı - Serre, Lelièvre, Albrecht - Pelletier, Pennanen, Guilbert, Houot - Boyer, Astengo, Volf.

Művek were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Today, Leaos's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. 23 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for Művek was N. Selendy. Művek's Z. Tumó swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. With 25 minutes played, M. Albrecht of Leaos fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. 38 minutes into the game, Leaos seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a inadequate level of organisation. Művek had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. The home side's M. Tilmant came close to extending the lead 41 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but H. Tarancı managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. Leaos's J. Serre had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 43 minutes having been played. C. Canu was the replacement. Halftime score was 1 - 0. Művek claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 67 percent.

Despite his frustration resulting in the smashing of a few teacups, the coach of Leaos was able to get his message across, and raised Leaos's organisation to solid. Művek were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. Coming from the right, T. Soavã almost managed to score another goal for Művek, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. With 54 minutes played, F. Guilbert came in from the right and could have evened the score, but the defenders successfully repelled the attack by Leaos. The bench was restless, and with 55 minutes passed Leaos's coach gave A. Hooli the opportunity the player had been hoping for. C. Boyer reluctantly left the field. A really bad tackle inside the penalty area 60 minutes into the match gave the referee no other choice but to award the visiting Leaos a penalty. Ð. Volf knocked it home. 1 - 1 After 62 minutes, the Leaos coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving D. Astengo off the field. E. Jouret took his place. C. Canu became the new Leaos captain. Attacking on the wings was the choice for Művek, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. Művek made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left M. Ramač completely alone with keeper H. Tarancı, who made a spectacular block. With 68 minutes played W. Göttling almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. Művek enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 67 percent of possession.

The most dominating Művek player was without a doubt W. Göttling. J. Matrljan turned in a dismal performance, however. A. Hooli performed admirably for Leaos. C. Canu was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 1.
