F-M 3 - 2 julnan (381376990)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and HELL ARENA saw a crowd turnout of 30000. Marcello Rofi was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Lars Rumbold and Doru Olãrescu. F-M started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Lineup: Tepavac - Ristau, Kołodziejczyk, Zváč - Ciubotariu, Echaide, Grandidier, Dunbar, Gröönman - Rampazzi, Trlica.

julnan decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. Starters: Marević - Moldován, van Kamerik, Burmeister, Vinkx - Anda, Beňák, Räth, Ronconi, Caha - Martina.

F-M used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. Today, julnan's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. V. Ciubotariu caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 4 minutes. This gave F-M the 1 - 0 lead. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave J. Kołodziejczyk from F-M a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 10 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! With 11 minutes played, M. Gröönman of F-M fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. F-M solidified their lead at the 18 minute mark, as F. Trlica dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 2 - 0. A well placed corner kick from N. Moldován was followed by E. van Kamerik's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for julnan, the score now 2 - 1. F-M's F. Trlica saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 26 minutes. F-M had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. P. Grandidier had a fantastic opportunity to put F-M up another goal 32 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. 2 - 1 was the score after the first half. F-M had most of the ball, with 60 percent of possession.

A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in F-M's V. Ciubotariu increasing the lead to 3 - 1. F-M's V. Ciubotariu was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 67 minutes. With 77 minutes gone, F-M had a free kick in a decent position. Despite this being a great chance for a shot, they tried a cheeky move intended to bypass the defence. However, F. Trlica did not manage to connect with it cleanly and the ball went out. G. Rampazzi unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. Ater 81 minutes N. Martina seized on an opportunistic attack from the right, and scored for julnan making it 3 - 2. A great save by keeper M. Marević after 83 minutes kept the visitors in the game after G. Rampazzi struck from the left with a real cannonball. H. Dilsu was called on to replace julnan's S. Vinkx after 84 minutes following a nasty collision. F-M claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 60 percent.

F. Trlica performed admirably for F-M. V. Tepavac was a disappointment, however. julnan's best player was E. van Kamerik. On the other hand, G. Ronconi's play was disheartening. The match ends 3 - 2.
