Tehnodrom 3 - 3 Turbonegri (379591559)

The 3519 spectators at PressMash Arena were in for an afternoon of sunshine. Norbert Roelfsema was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Robert Kristiansen and Gabriel Arnăutu. Tehnodrom started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Rosenberger - Suso, Persicchio, Alzamendi - Blouin, Toledo, Bogach, Balyuk, Blom - Guidetti, de Kerchove.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Turbonegri. Lineup: Pinnella - Aliprandi, Plasma, Arco, Eades - Berghmans, Buttner, Kasza, Colmelo - Casciaro, Mostue.

J. Blouin's technique was perfect on this sunny day and led to some breathtaking tricks that bamboozled the defence. After 10 minutes of play, E. Guidetti gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. Tehnodrom managed to extend their lead to 2 - 0 when S. Suso cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Tehnodrom lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. A great save by keeper A. Pinnella after 24 minutes kept the visitors in the game after G. Toledo struck from the left with a real cannonball. Turbonegri were desperate to get a goal back and pushed forward through the middle 26 minutes into the game. After a scramble in the box, the ball dropped to F. Colmelo, who smashed it home to make the score 2 - 1. 2 - 1 was the halftime score. Tehnodrom enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 59 percent of possession.

The Turbonegri players listened closely to their manager, as he gave new tactical instructions for the team. After 56 minutes, E. Guidetti put Tehnodrom ahead 3 - 1 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. The home team's fans were upset when, after 65 minutes, the visiting B. Kasza broke through the central defence and kicked the ball past the keeper. 3 - 2 was the score. With 80 minutes played, M. Blom of Tehnodrom fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave T. Arco from Turbonegri a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 81 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Tehnodrom had a magnificent opportunity after 82 minutes as Y. Bogach hit the ball hard from the edge of the penalty box. However, the shot went wide. The visiting team's T. Plasma was able to score the 3 - 3 equaliser with a header 83 minutes into the match, after some good work on the right. 89 minutes into the game, Tehnodrom wanted to bring some new energy to their game. F. Rosenberger gave M. Hoog a quick hug as he left the field. 89 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Tehnodrom substitution. R. Ringelmann came on for L. Alzamendi. After 89 minutes, the Tehnodrom coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving L. Balyuk off the field. O. Casarsa took his place. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Tehnodrom, with 63 percent of the ball.

E. Guidetti performed admirably for Tehnodrom. However, M. Blom made a disastrous appearance. Turbonegri's top performer was clearly K. Mostue. J. Eades on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 3.
