zoubida 0 - 9 Banquise (380321540)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and la zoubida Arena saw a crowd turnout of 12000. Adrian Perauer was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Volkmar Hannover and Nick Niehold. zoubida had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Rimbault - Duveau, Reynaud, Bouvry, Gac - Le Guen, Rotureau, Papon, Dussert - Piet, Feuillet.

Banquise started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Lineup: de Houtman - Forato, Rada, Rico - Ligier, Planque, Étcheberry, Moneta, Häkkilä - Nowaliński, Glineur.

0 - 1 was the score with 3 minutes played, after J. Nowaliński cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for Banquise. After 5 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave M. Planque a chance to increase the lead for Banquise, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 2. After 28 minutes zoubida's T. Bouvry limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. D. Étcheberry received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 30 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 3. The Banquise fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. After this, you could see that the players of Banquise were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Banquise's J. Nowaliński left the field after 34 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was S. Milán. As the captain was no longer on the pitch, L. Rada took over the role of being the Banquise captain. Some fine movement on the left led to a Banquise goal after 35 minutes, making it 0 - 4. A. Häkkilä was noted down as the scorer. 38 minutes into the match, Banquise's K. Glineur demonstrated his famed speed as he raced past his marker and passed the ball to S. Milán who chipped it in for 0 - 5. After 39 minutes, Banquise's M. Planque burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 6. It was 0 - 6 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Banquise, with 78 percent of the ball.

After 67 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed S. Milán to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 7. The coach of Banquise was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 70 minutes, T. Varela came on for M. Planque. The visitors' J. Rico took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 70 minutes into the match. 0 - 8 for Banquise. 76 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 9 as S. Milán finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. This third goal completed a hattrick for S. Milán. Banquise claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 84 percent.

zoubida's top performer was clearly C. Papon. T. Bouvry was a disappointment, however. D. Étcheberry performed admirably for Banquise. M. Ligier turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 9.
