NotAndOrXor 2 - 5 BlacKBullS (381371404)

It was an exceptionally sunny day for the crowd of 65349 that came out to Kotel. Joonas Kykkänen was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Loris Sikes and Zygfryd Pepłowski. NotAndOrXor had chosen a strategic 2-5-3 formation. The following players had been chosen: Kala - Hoewarth-Fuchs, Withelm - Debrosse, Vondráček, Uriaga, Piemontese, Šidlák - Johanides, Goulart, Pavlikovský.

BlacKBullS decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: Kulhánek - Paladell, Flandera, De Turck - Žofka, Golić, Składanowski, Slaničan, Janďourek - Gomola, Přibyl.

NotAndOrXor displayed their ability to play creatively. Z. Šidlák's tried to storm through the defence after 6 minutes, but P. Paladell was just too fast to shake off and the rest of the defence got back to cover. BlacKBullS's J. Přibyl gave the visitors a 0 - 1 lead after 13 minutes with a superb strike from the right. 19 minutes in, and NotAndOrXor were able to score the equalising goal to make it 1 - 1 when J. Vondráček picked up a pass coming in from the right and chipped it past the away team's keeper. Proving his experience, D. Gomola scored 1 - 2 for BlacKBullS after putting some pressure on the opposing defence at a critical moment. With 27 minutes played, BlacKBullS put themselves up 1 - 3 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was N. De Turck. Given a free kick close to the byline, NotAndOrXor tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let L. Goulart slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 2 - 3, 28 minutes into the game. 36 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 2 - 4 as J. Přibyl finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. 2 - 4 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by NotAndOrXor, with 53 percent of the ball.

Given a free kick in a difficult position after 57 minutes, NotAndOrXor tried a variation that they had practised in training. The kick was sent into the area just in front of the keeper. However, the defence were on their toes and allowed no space for a finish. After 72 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for L. Janďourek who increased BlacKBullS's lead to 2 - 5. Content with how the game was proceeding, the BlacKBullS coach let B. Římal replace P. Slaničan after 74 minutes. BlacKBullS's N. De Turck was shown a yellow card after 77 minutes for slicing down an opponent. D. Golić left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 80 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. L. Tošner was the replacement. A misunderstanding between the visitors' keeper J. Kulhánek and his left defence could have resulted in a goal for NotAndOrXor, but J. Johanides's finish was way too lame. Z. Flandera wasn't much help defensively. His energy-consuming forward runs proved quite costly in the oppressive heat. B. Římal dispatched a majestic long shot 87 minutes into the match, but missed the goal by a few metres. NotAndOrXor had most of the ball, with 51 percent of possession.

NotAndOrXor's best player was L. Goulart. S. Withelm on the other hand, had a terrible day. BlacKBullS's top performer was clearly D. Gomola. Z. Flandera was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 5.
