Schwechat 2 - 0 Jackets (379755531)

The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 1308 had shown up at Schwechat Cathedral for the match. Hindrik Verhaagen was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Henrik Klemmensen and Rod Caesar. Schwechat tactics involved an interesting 4-5-1 combination. The following players took the field: Verkoyen - Larizza, Molotov, Kopsokefalos, Melena - Schnabl, Poelman, Rätzsch, Raith, Pöll - Neumann.

Jackets started off with a 5-4-1 lineup. Lineup: von Petzold - Ernstsen, Dialektos, Sompolski, Agloupas, Wianecki - Ticozzi, Mandese, Suciu, Fröhlich - Kleiber.

Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Jackets. After 11 minutes, the defensive line of Jackets created a counterattack through the middle that gave T. Mandese a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. Jackets almost scored after a counterattack 14 minutes into the match, but M. Fröhlich took a shot from the left that landed harmlessly in the side of the net. 0 - 0 was the score after the first half. Schwechat enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 54 percent of possession.

As the 54 minute mark approached, the Schwechat coach decided it was time for a substitution. I. Verkoyen reluctantly made way for Á. Rovira on the pitch. R. Pöll would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. D. Dernač entered the game for Schwechat as the match clock showed 57 minutes. S. Agloupas got left behind when Schwechat's S. Neumann made a sudden run forward after 67 minutes, finishing off with a neat strike. 1 - 0! The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave A. Melena from Schwechat a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 81 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! K. von Petzold of Jackets had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. S. Mărgineanu came in to finish the match. B. Ernstsen of Jackets was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. S. Schnabl struck a 30 metre free kick home 85 minutes into the match. 2 - 0 for the home team. Jackets had a great opportunity to score following a counterattack after 89 minutes, but I. Suciu's shot from the left sailed high over the bar. Possession in this half belonged to Schwechat, who controlled the ball 55 percent of the time.

Schwechat's top performer was clearly Y. Molotov. Á. Rovira on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Jackets player was without a doubt R. Sompolski. B. Wianecki turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 2 - 0.
