ejko 6 - 0 GuanoApes (382584718)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and ejko arena saw a crowd turnout of 33250. Bill Jonsson was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Karl Marius Denzler and Teodor Apelholt. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for ejko. The following players had been chosen: Portal - Scheel, Amorim, Vanderverren - Anrep, Žepina, Orlaineta, Maureta, Tilldahl - Feeney, Borg.

GuanoApes had chosen a strategic 5-2-3 formation. Starters: Bua - Dymiński, Laterza, Chwałek, Aiartzaguena, Iván - Kandemir, Kressin - Arkoumaneas, Puente, Haga.

Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of GuanoApes. After 7 minutes, ejko raised their score by one when H. Anrep's dangerous low cross was cleverly tucked in at the near post by P. Borg. 1 - 0. L. Maureta increased ejko's lead to 2 - 0 with a penalty spot cannonball. After this, you could see that the players of ejko were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. ejko's M. Feeney increased the lead to 3 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 20 minutes. With 30 minutes played, ejko put themselves up 4 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to C. Orlaineta, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. 4 - 0 was the halftime score. ejko had most of the ball, with 91 percent of possession.

Good work by the GuanoApes defensive line after 50 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found T. Haga alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. Given a free kick close to the byline, ejko tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let M. Feeney slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 5 - 0, 60 minutes into the game. After 64 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by B. Žepina might have resulted in another goal for ejko. However, G. Bua made a spectacular save. The home side's D. Scheel came close to extending the lead 74 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but G. Bua managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. GuanoApes almost scored after a swift counterattack 75 minutes into the game, but T. Haga put the shot from the left flank just outside the goal. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave P. Tilldahl from ejko a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 80 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! With 82 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, G. Iván needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. ejko managed to extend their lead to 6 - 0 when C. Orlaineta cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. Possession in this half belonged to ejko, who controlled the ball 92 percent of the time.

P. Borg performed admirably for ejko. On the other hand, K. Vanderverren's play was disheartening. GuanoApes's top performer was clearly E. Chwałek. E. Kandemir was a disappointment, however. The match ends 6 - 0.
