TeRRa 0 - 5 Misut (382905127)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 38776 to Westfalia Stadium. Iman Eskandari Nasab was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Evan Morrissey and Jakub Gorajek. TeRRa started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Starters: Daels - Maure, Ringger, Normann - Beitia, Bernabé, Moreno Cala, van Bohemen, Sonaglia - Sequero, Dupont.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Misut. Lineup: Murillo - Coenegracht, Holderjan, Blum - Speggiorin, Fuenllana, Marinescu, Ocio, Valda - Liessens, Vetrano.

For their match strategy, TeRRa had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. The wings were the focus of most of Misut's attacks today. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 13 minutes allowed A. Marinescu to score for Misut. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. After 30 minutes, Misut sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached A. Marinescu, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 0 - 2. Some fine movement on the left led to a Misut goal after 31 minutes, making it 0 - 3. C. Liessens was noted down as the scorer. 32 minutes in, TeRRa's J. Bernabé received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. L. Fuenllana was, after 36 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper B. Daels made the save. L. Fuenllana of Misut took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 38 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 4. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 4. Misut claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 70 percent.

Still ahead in the game after 46 minutes, Misut made some tactical adjustments. V. Speggiorin and I. Coenegracht swapped positions. While defending the Misut lead, A. Valda got a new role. 46 minutes in the game, his coach ordered him to change positions with D. Blum. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 76 minutes, Misut did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, A. Holderjan was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 0 - 5. The players of Misut now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. Some things can only be learned through experience, and M. van Bohemen should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting Misut a goal with 77 minutes of the match played. The referee showed TeRRa's C. Dupont the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Misut, with 68 percent of the ball.

TeRRa's best player was A. Sequero. B. Daels was a disappointment, however. S. Vetrano performed admirably for Misut. However, I. Coenegracht made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 5.
