BANGERS 2 - 0 Beer Sheva (381030957)

Clouds darkened the skies at THE BANGERIYA !!! as 29012 spectators turned up for the match. Anton Porshnyakov was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jörgen Ovesson and Diego Fernández. BANGERS decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Starters: Skår - Deplazes, Amrani, Moreno - Kaler, Wald, Mansoor, Chatman, Elanskiy - Gibstein, Pelkola.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Beer Sheva. Lineup: Oron - Pirozhkov, Osher, Racaud - Langlade, Behrmann, de Lang, Paravicini, Juel - Vandenbossche, Vigil.

It might be a while before the fans see BANGERS's A. Pelkola again, after he had to leave the field in great distress at the 24 minute mark. He was replaced by P. Moreno Barba. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to P. Elanskiy, but the BANGERS player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! Against a lesser team, BANGERS could very well have succeeded with their smart indirect free kick routine after 43 minutes. A trio of passes took the ball all the way past the defenders, but by then the intended recipient was already blocked off and the keeper could make a leisurely save. Coming through the middle W. Racaud almost scored the equaliser for Beer Sheva after 44 minutes, but T. Skår made an excellent save, tipping the awkwardly curled shot past the post. Halftime score was 1 - 0. BANGERS had most of the ball, with 60 percent of possession.

The referee showed BANGERS's P. Kaler the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. With 70 minutes played, the visitors almost levelled the score. D. Osher shot a hard curved free kick, striking the post. 72 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as J. Deplazes broke through, making the score 2 - 0 for BANGERS. P. Elanskiy wanted to play on, but the BANGERS coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 75 minutes into the game by N. Meir. After 75 minutes, Beer Sheva switched M. Paravicini with V. Egkelados, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. After 75 minutes Beer Sheva's K. de Lang contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. The coach of BANGERS was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 79 minutes, L. Tandori came on for P. Kaler. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by BANGERS, with 61 percent of the ball.

The most dominating BANGERS player was without a doubt A. Gibstein. However, P. Moreno Barba made a disastrous appearance. Most important Beer Sheva player was I. Pirozhkov. W. Racaud was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 0.
