BCW 2 - 1 liverpoolbeinet (384111536)

It was an exceptionally sunny day for the crowd of 50621 that came out to Bericilka Arena. Mark Hausberger was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Sylvain Montout and Sepp Sønderskov. BCW started off with a 4-5-1 lineup. Starters: Delforge - Stadhouders, Evangelista, Luknja, Moreira - Scuderi, Kraus, Kazandzhiev, Keinonen, Romeira - Nakić.

liverpoolbeinet had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. Lineup: Lips - Ćatić, Bennebroek, Devold - Otaçı, Haki, Thyblom, Harvengt - Eilertsen, Hansen, Bangsund.

Good work by the BCW defensive line after 3 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found H. Stadhouders alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. After 21 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as BCW found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to inadequate. V. Nakić's technique was perfect on this sunny day and led to some breathtaking tricks that bamboozled the defence. BCW had a good opportunity to take the lead as N. Moreira came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of L. Lips. liverpoolbeinet had several good opportunities to take the lead, especially 34 minutes in when D. Harvengt came up alone against J. Delforge who managed a block. liverpoolbeinet's A. Devold got himself booked for a foul. 0 - 1 was the score with 40 minutes played, after J. Bangsund cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for liverpoolbeinet. G. Scuderi's early cross saw the defenders caught out of position and the alert V. Nakić was able to pounce and roll the ball past the hapless goalkeeper to score for BCW. 1 - 1. BCW's counterattacks created a good chance for G. Romeira on the right after 43 minutes, but he could only look on with dismay as his strike rebounded off the crossbar. Halftime score was 1 - 1. Neither team was controlling the possession at this point in the match, with the stats showing a 50:50 split.

A review of the gameplan helped BCW get back to a solid organisation when the referee blew his whistle again. Z. Luknja would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. F. Sørensen entered the game for BCW as the match clock showed 46 minutes. D. Evangelista became the new BCW captain. A questionable penalty 72 minutes in gave the home side the lead, 2 - 1. The visitors' goalie didn't stand a chance as S. Keinonen knocked the ball home. Usually a powerful player on the field, S. Keinonen looked kind of pale and tired under the hot sun. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by BCW, with 55 percent of the ball.

Most important BCW player was V. Nakić. On the other hand, F. Sørensen's play was disheartening. The most dominating liverpoolbeinet player was without a doubt T. Eilertsen. L. Lips on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 1.
