Rünenberg 3 - 1 Oberhausen (379858977)

3443 spectators had come to Sutter's Mill this cloudy day. Zsolt Deme was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Nicolas Rive and Emanuele Prandini. Rünenberg decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. Lineup: Meneske - Flaig, Horber, Schönmann, Leimgruber - Bilon, Zenger, Aoustin, Pfyl, Cioccarelli - Wehrda.

Oberhausen tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. They fielded: Ebersgöns - Terhaag, Cubinyà, 内田 (Uchida), Scheffl - Koczur, Pahlke, Mellen, Słupiecki - Kocijančič, Risgård.

It was an obvious ambition of Oberhausen to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. After 4 minutes Oberhausen's 昌. 内田 (Uchida) contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. A foul after 26 minutes resulted in a free kick. D. Bilon cannonballed it, giving the home team the lead 1 - 0. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 28 minutes, Rünenberg did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, B. Aoustin was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 2 - 0. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 0. Rünenberg enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 61 percent of possession.

Rünenberg put themselves up 3 - 0 when T. Horber broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. D. Pfyl really should have scored when he was chosen by fate to confront a wide open goal following a great play by E. Cioccarelli after a corner. Oberhausen's right side looked dangerous after 58 minutes, as C. Scheffl broke through. A. Meneske continued to stifle them, however, as he made the save look easy. N. Zenger wanted to play on, but the Rünenberg coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 72 minutes into the game by J. Pelka. 77 minutes into the game, Oberhausen seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a passable level of organisation. Oberhausen managed to reduce the score to 3 - 1 as J. Koczur finished off a well-played combination from the left, easily carving through the defence. 81 minutes into the game, Oberhausen's attack got through on the right, but B. Risgård couldn't handle the ball and his feeble kick wound up in the keeper's arms. There was concern in the stands when, at the 83 minute mark, Oberhausen's D. Słupiecki hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. Rünenberg claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 67 percent.

B. Aoustin performed admirably for Rünenberg. D. Schönmann on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Oberhausen player was without a doubt E. Kocijančič. However, 昌. 内田 (Uchida) made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 3 - 1.
