Ronnifamilie 2 - 3 Dröscheder (380275077)

The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 12000 had shown up at Ronni-Arena des Weltfriedens for the match. Holger Hultlund was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Suavi Alçın and Carlo Evangelisti. Ronnifamilie decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. The following players had been chosen: Iversheim - Gudenberg, Chaidos, Bystricky - Schmitz-Katze, Verzijlberg, Emil, Pažout - Laudstron, Deierling, Löwis.

Dröscheder had chosen a strategic 2-5-3 formation. Starters: Langlotz - Haggennmiller, Culver - Starukiewicz, Judas, Hódi, Baberg, Straßburger - Hadamar, Kasig, Wieland-Papaleo.

With 9 minutes played D. Löwis almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. With 14 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, T. Bystricky needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. Ł. Starukiewicz of Dröscheder received a yellow card after 21 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. The home side put themselves ahead 1 - 0 after 22 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from T. Chaidos, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. B. Wieland-Papaleo of Dröscheder was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. 32 minutes in, Ronnifamilie's T. Chaidos received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Unfortunately for Dröscheder, T. Hódi was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. L. Andrä replaced him. 38 minutes into the match, R. Straßburger bent a free kick around the home team's defensive formation, leaving the keeper with no chance for a save. Dröscheder had levelled the scoreline at 1 - 1. 1 - 1 was the score after the first half. Ronnifamilie claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.

60 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Dröscheder substitution. M. Quaresma came on for E. Haggennmiller. Ronnifamilie's K. Gudenberg was shown a yellow card after 75 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Dröscheder took the lead 82 minutes into the game, making the score 1 - 2 after some elegant movement down the middle. B. Wieland-Papaleo was the scorer. With 85 minutes played, the Ronnifamilie coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. M. Rossgatterer came on, L. Emil had to leave the fray. The bench was restless, and with 85 minutes passed Ronnifamilie's coach gave G. Siqueira the opportunity the player had been hoping for. T. Bystricky reluctantly left the field. The corner kick from W. Verzijlberg was powerfully met by the head of M. Rossgatterer to make the score 2 - 2. After 89 minutes, the Dröscheder coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving L. Kasig off the field. I. Danders took his place. I. Danders got new instructions from the Dröscheder coach after 89 minutes. He changed positions with L. Andrä soon after. 89 minutes into the game, Ronnifamilie wanted to bring some new energy to their game. H. Schmitz-Katze gave H. Rotberg a quick hug as he left the field. 89 minutes had elapsed when a great chance for Ronnifamilie to take the lead after a good cross from the right found D. Löwis alone with the keeper, but he chipped it to the wrong side of the post. After a fine move down the middle T. Chaidos nearly gave the home side a goal after 89 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 89 minutes into the match left Dröscheder's J. Judas completely free to score. 2 - 3 for the visitors. Ronnifamilie's W. Verzijlberg was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 89 minutes. Possession in this half belonged to Ronnifamilie, who controlled the ball 53 percent of the time.

M. Deierling performed admirably for Ronnifamilie. On the other hand, S. Laudstron's play was disheartening. Dröscheder's top performer was clearly L. Andrä. However, J. Judas made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 3.
