Pelleverde 1 - 4 Tiempo (384283776)

It had rained all day, but 22021 hardy fans still made it out to To be honest, won't anything happen here ground. Enrique Ezcurra was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Johan Schröder and Kris Stabel. Pelleverde had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Rönn - Hohegrete, Hoxhohl, Kehne, Hanlık - Hollingsworth, Lippe, Waren, Seligen - Gogolok, Rudela.

Tiempo tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. Lineup: Suresh - Wucherer, í Gerðum - Himmelsbach, Weislowski, Härtling, Rinck, Bogumil - Baerntatz, Dobry, Mohnert.

18 minutes into the game, V. í Gerðum almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. With 20 minutes played, the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending. A. Himmelsbach put the ball away for 0 - 1. A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from V. í Gerðum after 24 minutes, and prevented Tiempo from going up another goal. 0 - 1 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to Tiempo, who controlled the ball 68 percent of the time.

The boggy pitch disrupted the game, especially for technical players like S. Hanlık. Tiempo increased their lead after 62 minutes when E. Dobry broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 2, much to the home crowd's dismay. With 66 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed J. Rinck of Tiempo to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 3. E. Härtling didn't let the weather get him down and made some great moves on the pitch in spite of the rain. E. Dobry of Tiempo received a yellow card after 70 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Given a free kick in a difficult position after 80 minutes, Tiempo tried a variation that they had practised in training. The kick was sent into the area just in front of the keeper. However, the defence were on their toes and allowed no space for a finish. R. Rudela was in the clear after breaking the offside trap following a Pelleverde counterattack from the left after 81 minutes. His neat finish made the score 1 - 3. K. Baerntatz increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 1 - 4. Tiempo claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 68 percent.

R. Rudela performed admirably for Pelleverde. However, M. Rönn made a disastrous appearance. Most important Tiempo player was J. Rinck. O. Bogumil turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 4.
