Perkmandlc 4 - 3 klunz (382737300)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 45000 to Arena pod Planino. Freddie Evans was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Ašmontas Dzimidavičius and Enrique Aguiar. Perkmandlc had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Starters: Klintquist - Audran, Cannau, Kluy - Stoeffler, van Rossum, Ovaska, Muren, Lequeux - Oviedo, Vichi.

klunz tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. They fielded: Kok - Orosz, Caron, Lecocq - Bokelaar, Lüthje, Mahmoud, Hotter, Orihuela - Goldman, Suchovejus.

klunz clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. S. Oviedo of Perkmandlc received a yellow card after 12 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. With clinical precision, the cross from winger A. Orihuela found its way to M. Bokelaar's head, and a screaming header gave klunz the goal after 17 minutes played. 0 - 1 The crowd was on its feet 21 minutes into the match, as Perkmandlc's A. Lequeux found himself unmarked in front of the goal after a dash up the left side. He calmly put away the 1 - 1 equaliser. J. Suchovejus was first to reach a ball launched long through the center from klunz's defence 28 minutes into the game. He managed to keep his cool and beat the goalkeeper to make the score 1 - 2. The referee showed klunz's M. Lecocq the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. The home crowd cheered when, after 36 minutes, J. Suchovejus's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. 42 minutes into the game, E. Goldman had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came D. Westermeier. After 43 minutes of play, J. Ovaska equalised for Perkmandlc after an elegant attack from the right. After 44 minutes, a well-worked counterattack by klunz on the right presented an easy opportunity in front of the goal that was duly converted by N. Mahmoud to make it 2 - 3. 2 - 3 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Perkmandlc, with 68 percent of the ball.

After 52 minutes of game time, M. Bokelaar had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but P. Klintquist was in the right place and tipped the ball over for a corner. Perkmandlc tried to even things up by sending a long ball towards the centrally placed strikers, but the visitors' defence got the best of this rather direct style of play. The game was close to savage at times, and Perkmandlc's S. Oviedo received a second yellow card after 66 minutes; his ticket out of the game. After 71 minutes, S. Stoeffler got through on the right and was very close to equalising for the home side, but didn't get the shot away. 72 minutes in, klunz's D. Hotter received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. G. van Rossum of Perkmandlc had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. T. Primdal came in to finish the match. Perkmandlc's M. Vichi put his head to a well placed ball, lifted in from the left, and scored to make the score 3 - 3 with 74 minutes showing on the scoreboard clock. The home side put themselves ahead 4 - 3 after 75 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from M. Vichi, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. Perkmandlc claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 62 percent.

A. Lequeux performed admirably for Perkmandlc. T. Primdal was a disappointment, however. klunz's best player was J. Suchovejus. On the other hand, Z. Orosz's play was disheartening. The match ends 4 - 3.
