Marçellona 5 - 1 Nullneuner (379705388)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Marçellona Arena saw a crowd turnout of 3135. Georg Friedrich Reinosch was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jens Claesson and Idrus Dias. Marçellona started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Look - Scapin, Fontanari, Luisi - La Sala, Dellasantina, Mattielig, Cobelli, Repetti - Franceschetti, Podlunšek.

Nullneuner tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. The following players had been chosen: Hinüber - Schmetlow, Spoerr - Skjærven, Boitin-Resdorf, Margalit, Tursi, Benabdlakrim - Stremel, Cellórico, Bron.

Nullneuner's A. Skjærven could have put the guests one up after 8 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but T. Look was as fast as a snake, grabbing the ball from under his nose. T. Podlunšek would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. B. Toncu entered the game for Marçellona as the match clock showed 19 minutes. Many thought M. Luisi ought to have been awarded a penalty 26 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around W. Hinüber after a determined run through the middle. P. Franceschetti's lightning pace was too much for F. Schmetlow who could only look on as the Marçellona player blasted one home. 1 - 0. The visitors didn't give in and, after 35 minutes, A. Margalit got through the home side's central line of defence, rolling in the equaliser to make it 1 - 1. A questionable penalty 36 minutes in gave the home side the lead, 2 - 1. The visitors' goalie didn't stand a chance as D. Dellasantina knocked the ball home. Marçellona solidified their lead at the 38 minute mark, as P. Repetti dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 3 - 1. After this, you could see that the players of Marçellona were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. It was 3 - 1 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Marçellona, with 67 percent of the ball.

The coach of Marçellona was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, V. Mihaylov came on for D. Dellasantina. 53 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as G. Mattielig broke through, making the score 4 - 1 for Marçellona. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave A. Skjærven from Nullneuner a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 55 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Nullneuner's D. Benabdlakrim left the field after 57 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was G. Alma. 62 minutes in, Marçellona's V. Mihaylov received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. G. Mattielig looked like he could fly, as he rose high to head the ball. Unfortunately for Marçellona, the ball went just barely wide. P. Franceschetti should probably have put his team up another goal after 82 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by W. Hinüber kept the visitors in the game. Marçellona's M. Luisi increased the lead to 5 - 1, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 82 minutes. Marçellona had to make a substitution after 86 minutes. G. Scapin limped off the field and was replaced by A. Cernari. Marçellona claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 72 percent.

V. Mihaylov performed admirably for Marçellona. However, G. La Sala made a disastrous appearance. Nullneuner's best player was A. Bron. G. Alma turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 5 - 1.
