Rotta 1 - 2 Kløver (384135129)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and žćčšđ saw a crowd turnout of 15770. Lars Knutsson was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Vitus Krauer and Jared Jardine. Rotta decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Christophersen - Nielsen, Kluskowski, Serpanos - Bokin, Eriksen, Fetz, Korgan, Bjerke - Johansen, Arntzen.

Kløver started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Starters: Kivelä - Vecchi, Ziegelmeyer, Del Piero - Kopplin, Donát, Perea, Fiebich, Snauwaert - Panato, Matte.

Pressing was the tactic of the day for Rotta. Kløver used their skill at pressing to cut off the attack angles of their opponents all over the field. R. Fiebich of Kløver was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Kløver's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. J. Perea had a good opportunity to give Kløver the lead as he charged down the right and struck the ball towards the top corner, but the home team's goalkeeper made the save. 18 minutes into the game, Kløver had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to weak. After 18 minutes, Kløver's D. Matte made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. After 26 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed J. Perea to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 2. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave S. Arntzen from Rotta a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 27 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Halftime score was 0 - 2. Possession in this half belonged to Rotta, who controlled the ball 61 percent of the time.

During the break, Kløver's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to passable organisation. Kløver's ability to press all over the field frequently paid dividends. Rotta's J. Bjerke managed a superb strike from the left after 61 minutes that would have left goalkeeper S. Kivelä without a chance, had it not hit the post. The referee showed Kløver's A. Vecchi the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. O. Johansen of Rotta had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. V. Husmo came in to finish the match. A misunderstanding between the visitors' keeper S. Kivelä and his left defence could have resulted in a goal for Rotta, but J. Bjerke's finish was way too lame. Rotta reduced the lead to 1 - 2 with 83 minutes on the clock when Z. Kluskowski got the best of a ball floated in from the left. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Rotta, with 58 percent of the ball.

H. Fetz performed admirably for Rotta. V. Husmo on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Kløver player was without a doubt N. Donát. On the other hand, J. Kopplin's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 2.
