Roter 0 - 2 Neubau (379513416)

A scorching day at Sigmund Freud Stadion, where 1767 spectators were in place for today's match. Jamal Holzmeister was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Maurus Günthart and Hervé Vernet. Roter had chosen a strategic 5-4-1 formation. Starters: Kanownik - Hammerl, Maier, Hektorović, Lehocký, Gollner - Jonsson, Sinev, Drãghici, Grubbs - Kalandarov.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Neubau. Lineup: Gasser - Gubaris, Vaszil, Steinmayer - Wiget, Caller, Kavanen, Richter, Índio - Fesl, Leutgeb.

Roter clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. Neubau mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. The Neubau free kick 31 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of K. Caller, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 0 - 1! Roter put pressure on the visitors' central defence 40 minutes into the game, but V. Drãghici couldn't find an opening. Halftime score was 0 - 1. Neubau had most of the ball, with 60 percent of possession.

With 57 minutes played, Neubau put themselves up 0 - 2 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was T. Leutgeb. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave B. Fesl from Neubau a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 68 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Possession in this half belonged to Neubau, who controlled the ball 63 percent of the time.

Most important Roter player was K. Kanownik. On the other hand, A. Gollner's play was disheartening. The most dominating Neubau player was without a doubt K. Caller. A. Steinmayer on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 2.
