Rychlí 3 - 4 NoOobici (381416733)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Stadion Lumíra Hlávky saw a crowd turnout of 29694. Stig 'Plæneklipperen' Tøfting was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Florian Frehe and Nunzio Vonzun. Rychlí started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Pácalt - Kasala, Sekletár, Laube - Ondroušek, Pavlásek, Světlík, Daněk - Sundstrøm, Bernátek, Forconi.

NoOobici had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. Starters: Haubjerg Scharling - Dellasantina, Indelicato, Adrián, Zapata - Valentino, Hiele, Sträßle, Copóns - Starck, Doucet.

Rychlí preferred to finish off their attacks from a distance. NoOobici clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. After 12 minutes, NoOobici raised their score by one when G. Valentino's dangerous low cross was cleverly tucked in at the near post by F. Doucet. 0 - 1. 28 minutes into the game, M. Forconi came close to levelling the score with a dangerous shot from the centre of the area that went just over the bar. NoOobici's G. Dellasantina was shown a yellow card after 37 minutes for slicing down an opponent. After 42 minutes of play, A. Kasala evened things up for Rychlí with an impressive goal coming up the middle. 1 - 1. 1 - 2 was the score with 43 minutes played, after G. Valentino cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for NoOobici. 1 - 2 was the score after the first half. Rychlí had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.

NoOobici caught their opponents out with a clever counterattack down the right wing 48 minutes into the match. F. Doucet was able to finish off the move - 1 - 3. The players of NoOobici now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. NoOobici increased their lead after 50 minutes when M. Starck broke through on the right, upping the score to 1 - 4, much to the home crowd's dismay. After 65 minutes, Rychlí switched Z. Světlík with K. Green, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. As the captain was no longer on the pitch, M. Forconi took over the role of being the Rychlí captain. Rychlí needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 70 minutes M. Daněk made way for J. Hucek. The home crowd was given a certain amount of consolation when K. Green scored after a brilliant midfield combination through the centre, reducing the lead to 2 - 4. Rychlí's J. Hucek cut towards the middle after 71 minutes, receiving a brilliant pass and slicing through the visiting team's central defence, reducing the lead to 3 - 4. Had it not been for one of the home defenders, M. Starck would have put NoOobici up another goal 73 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. The bench was restless, and with 75 minutes passed Rychlí's coach gave E. Orlando the opportunity the player had been hoping for. C. Sundstrøm reluctantly left the field. F. Doucet left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 75 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. M. Yankovskiy was the replacement. Possession in this half belonged to Rychlí, who controlled the ball 53 percent of the time.

Most important Rychlí player was M. Forconi. J. Hucek was a disappointment, however. NoOobici's top performer was clearly G. Dellasantina. On the other hand, B. Haubjerg Scharling's play was disheartening. The match ends 3 - 4.
