FcIceberg 3 - 1 Rullo_Compressore (381664999)

The crowd of 30935 turning up at FcIceberg Arena today were greeted with some nasty showers of rain. Grigory Kovalyov was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Oskar Neumann and Mikko Ojala. FcIceberg had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Starters: Doroszuk - Di Chio, De Bernardo, Oud - Rashid, Nesi, Zinngraf, Vesci, Oppedisano - Dwórznik, Kesti.

Rullo_Compressore decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Rivaben - Cailliau, Palazzetti, Pozzolo - Bjørshol, Lassuyt, Karama, Farigu, De Natale - Billing, Reens.

K. Dwórznik was struggling to make the ball dance with his usual trickery and panache, and the opposing players had little trouble shutting him down in these muddy conditions. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to N. Kesti, but the FcIceberg player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! After 11 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and K. Dwórznik gave the FcIceberg supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 2 - 0. 2 - 0 was the score after the first half. FcIceberg had most of the ball, with 59 percent of possession.

A. Cailliau did not have a good day today, often losing his footing on the muddy pitch. After 63 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by A. Oud might have resulted in another goal for FcIceberg. However, G. Rivaben made a spectacular save. With 65 minutes played, K. Dwórznik of FcIceberg fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. The home team's fans were upset when, after 72 minutes, the visiting P. De Natale broke through the central defence and kicked the ball past the keeper. 2 - 1 was the score. FcIceberg solidified their lead at the 73 minute mark, as N. Kesti dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 3 - 1. After this, you could see that the players of FcIceberg were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. FcIceberg enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 59 percent of possession.

Y. Rashid performed admirably for FcIceberg. However, A. Oppedisano made a disastrous appearance. Most important Rullo_Compressore player was G. Rivaben. P. Bjørshol turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 1.
