Obeabe50 2 - 6 Glarus (379812898)

Dark skies made the crowd of 1347 at Estadio Emiliano Zapata a little nervous, but the rain held off. Vladan Richtr was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Fabio Villouta and Per D. Fredriksson. A 2-5-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Obeabe50. Starters: 涌辉 (Yonghui) - Eerkes, Egudin - Malinovič, Boshielo, Loef, Tsioumplekos, Dalbon - Choma, Caretaker, Boccadamo.

Glarus had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Bellemare - Dellenbach, Lambrigger, Roux - Mühle, Volmert, Schricker, Regard, Pietronero - Egloff, Schmidberger.

Glarus took the lead 4 minutes into the game, making the score 0 - 1 after some elegant movement down the middle. M. Volmert was the scorer. After 28 minutes, Glarus's G. Roux burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Obeabe50's V. Egudin was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 30 minutes. E. Veitschegger was given a chance to change things around. Glarus's L. Schricker had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 36 minutes having been played. S. Stoev was the replacement. 37 minutes into the game, Obeabe50 seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to inadequate. The home team's supporters got excited again when A. Loef broke through the visitors' central defence and caught their keeper off guard, making it 1 - 2. Some things can only be learned through experience, and A. Loef should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting Glarus a goal with 42 minutes of the match played. After 43 minutes a well-practised indirect free kick routine by Glarus was easily anticipated by the defenders. The players forward were so well marked, they were left with few viable options. 43 minutes into the game, Obeabe50 had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to poor. Some fine movement on the left led to a Glarus goal after 44 minutes, making it 1 - 3. V. Schmidberger was noted down as the scorer. 44 minutes into the game, 吴. 涌辉 (Yonghui) had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came C. Emili. C. Emili became the new Obeabe50 captain. 1 - 3 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Glarus, with 59 percent of the ball.

Despite his frustration resulting in the smashing of a few teacups, the coach of Obeabe50 was able to get his message across, and raised Obeabe50's organisation to passable. V. Schmidberger wanted to play on, but the Glarus coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 46 minutes into the game by S. Drijber. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Glarus coach let A. Lausen replace G. Roux after 46 minutes. After 57 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave C. Pietronero a chance to increase the lead for Glarus, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 1 - 4. After this, you could see that the players of Glarus were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Obeabe50 needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 60 minutes E. Veitschegger made way for G. Ronchetti. A marvellous Obeabe50 effort on the right-hand side resulted in a goal after 77 minutes by N. Boshielo, making the score 2 - 4. 81 minutes into the game, Obeabe50 seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a weak level of organisation. With 82 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed L. Regard of Glarus to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 2 - 5. After the ball was lifted in from the left, E. Egloff was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 84 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. After 87 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Obeabe50 found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to wretched. After 88 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for S. Drijber who increased Glarus's lead to 2 - 6. This part of the game was a standoff between the teams in terms of possession.

Obeabe50's top performer was clearly B. Malinovič. On the other hand, A. Loef's play was disheartening. M. Volmert performed admirably for Glarus. E. Lambrigger was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 6.
