valsimoTs 0 - 9 Cereals (379571726)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Stadion der Freundschaft saw a crowd turnout of 3759. Larry Connelly was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Manor Gafni and Charalampos Aftoulakidis. valsimoTs had chosen a strategic 5-4-1 formation. Starters: Blondy - Deuerling-Horvath, Bechstein, Mauk, Lukey, Guentner - Mihalap, Guggenberg, De Cesaris, Lillo - Waldenfels.

Cereals decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. They fielded: Stålwald - Mansouri, Whelan, Provenzano, Laxén - Gúlúbov, Pałaszewski, Pershakov, Ożegowski - González, Antonsen.

Cereals had to make a substitution after 7 minutes. K. Laxén limped off the field and was replaced by J. Cambra. The terraces were silenced after 31 minutes when Cereals's E. Provenzano put the guests ahead 0 - 1, following an attack on the right. Cereals increased their lead after 36 minutes when V. Pershakov broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 2, much to the home crowd's dismay. After 42 minutes, Cereals's J. González burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 3. S. Ożegowski received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 43 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 4. The Cereals fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. A drive down the left side allowed K. Antonsen to get in close and score another goal for Cereals after 43 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 5. After this, you could see that the players of Cereals were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Halftime score was 0 - 5. Cereals enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 72 percent of possession.

A. Blondy got a fingertip on E. Provenzano's shot from the left 64 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. After 70 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for K. Antonsen who increased Cereals's lead to 0 - 6. With 83 minutes played, Cereals put themselves up 0 - 7 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was K. Antonsen. That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for K. Antonsen. 85 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 8 as K. Antonsen finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. M. Pałaszewski of Cereals received a yellow card after 86 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. The bench was restless, and with 87 minutes passed valsimoTs's coach gave C. Dankesreiter the opportunity the player had been hoping for. D. Bechstein reluctantly left the field. After 87 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave K. Antonsen a chance to increase the lead for Cereals, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 9. With 89 minutes played, the valsimoTs coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. R. Peterwagen came on, P. De Cesaris had to leave the fray. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Cereals, with 79 percent of the ball.

C. Dankesreiter performed admirably for valsimoTs. A. Blondy was a disappointment, however. Cereals's top performer was clearly K. Antonsen. C. Mansouri turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 9.
