Suttorf 2 - 3 scelus (384286031)

A brilliantly sunny day had enticed a crowd of 37513 to Voßheide. Tim Rundbratt was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Vidar Vatn and Nico Zeise. All of Nordrhein-Westfalen was shut down for the day, as fans of both clubs came to the derby. Suttorf started off with a 2-5-3 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Krummeck - Zayats, Grzimek - Boaghe, Haderner, Collinet, Rotkarte, Janson - Stoichkov, Babau, Walko.

scelus decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. They fielded: Jacquet - Lopes, Franciolini, van Heel, Egnatiadis - Baretto, Schwab, Lorenz, Ohmayer, Barzyk - Lilgenau.

Given a free kick close to the byline, scelus tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let P. Ohmayer slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 0 - 1, 2 minutes into the game. The home crowd cheered when, after 9 minutes, K. Barzyk's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. B. Haderner made a superb strike after 15 minutes with a shot straight in front of the goal after a long ball through the middle, but one of the visitors' defenders got a foot in at the last second and warded it off for a corner. Some fine passing in the middle of the pitch, carving open the away defence, should have led to a goal for Suttorf, but A. Babau's shot went over the bar. After 28 minutes scelus's N. Baretto contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. scelus increased their lead after 32 minutes when A. Franciolini broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 2, much to the home crowd's dismay. It was 0 - 2 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Suttorf, who controlled the ball 55 percent of the time.

The home team's supporters got excited again when B. Haderner broke through the visitors' central defence and caught their keeper off guard, making it 1 - 2. N. Baretto found it hard to catch his breath today in the stifling heat. O. Zayats could have scored for Suttorf with his free kick after 84 minutes, but the visitors' keeper just managed to get a hand on it. A well placed corner kick from O. Zayats was followed by A. Rotkarte's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for Suttorf, the score now 2 - 2. Suttorf had a chance to take the lead after A. Babau's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 87 minutes. The counterattacks of scelus were deadly and 88 minutes into the game, A. Franciolini received a nice pass from the right flank, making it 2 - 3. Had it not been for one of the home defenders, M. Lopes would have put scelus up another goal 89 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. Suttorf enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 54 percent of possession.

Suttorf's top performer was clearly O. Zayats. L. Janson turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important scelus player was F. Lilgenau. N. Baretto on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 3.
