Todesgrätsche 1 - 6 Lichtgestalten (379947090)

A brilliantly sunny day had enticed a crowd of 710 to Tiefsee Arena. Jeffrey Yemelianova was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Giulio Arcellano and Stefano Catania. Todesgrätsche started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. They fielded: Kauhala - Taxis, Verola, Silva - Dearmouth, Zambianchi, Kirchbach, Scheu - Najle, Riebesehl, Fischer-Stahl.

Lichtgestalten decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Mata - Lucadamo, Oversø, Vasiljević - Papp, 弘忠 (Hongzhong), Benoot, Chay, Nudga - Szych, Minonzio.

The strategy for Todesgrätsche was to use their ability to press. The visiting D. Szych was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 4 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. 17 minutes into the match, L. Benoot came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. Lichtgestalten's M. Minonzio got himself booked for a foul. M. Minonzio received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 29 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 2. The Lichtgestalten fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. Todesgrätsche's B. Dearmouth has the wonderful ability to create chances out of thin air. 38 minutes into the match he bamboozled a couple of opposition defenders before sending the keeper the wrong way and sidefooting the ball home into an empty net. That totally unexpected burst of flair made it 1 - 2. After 40 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave U. Oversø a chance to increase the lead for Lichtgestalten, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 1 - 3. Halftime score was 1 - 3. Lichtgestalten claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 65 percent.

The coach of Lichtgestalten was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, D. Aidelsburger came on for M. Mata. L. Benoot wanted to play on, but the Lichtgestalten coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 46 minutes into the game by P. Scheidlin. It was a hot and sunny day, and several players seemed worn out. Maybe this was why E. Nudga found an unusual amount of space for his snappy footwork. With 75 minutes played, Lichtgestalten put themselves up 1 - 4 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was D. Szych. After 76 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed M. Minonzio to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 1 - 5. After this, you could see that the players of Lichtgestalten were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. 78 minutes in, Lichtgestalten's T. Vasiljević received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Lichtgestalten increased the lead to 1 - 6 as U. Oversø scored from the penalty spot, putting the ball in near the top left corner. The visitors nearly scored again after 87 minutes, but a superb save by J. Kauhala kept U. Oversø's free kick out of the net. Todesgrätsche pressed their opponents, causing the game to be a bit of a stalemate at times. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Lichtgestalten, with 72 percent of the ball.

K. Taxis performed admirably for Todesgrätsche. A. Kirchbach was a disappointment, however. Lichtgestalten's top performer was clearly U. Oversø. On the other hand, D. Aidelsburger's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 6.
