FC SN NST 1 - 0 Maubaer (384312621)

The crowd of 20725 turning up at Arroganz-Arena today were greeted with some nasty showers of rain. Ola Lövin was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Pekka Nahkiaisoja and Fen Salmon. FC SN NST started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Debert - Kügelgen, Estienne, Pujol - Draux, Uranus, Ala, van Hulst, Gommans - Köbberling, Danielis.

Maubaer had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. The following players took the field: Della Rossa - Gretscher, Capuder-Perme, Vrubelevsky, Vidigal - Aysan, Senn, Konstantakos, Pituba - Tsouknidas, Kajüte.

The wings were the focus of most of Maubaer's attacks today. After 6 minutes, H. Aysan sprinted between the opposing defenders and squared the ball, but the keeper deflected T. Kajüte's shot. R. Gretscher of Maubaer received a yellow card after 35 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. T. Kajüte slipped and slithered in the wet grass. His usual rapid runs were nowhere to be seen today. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave T. Estienne from FC SN NST a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 43 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Halftime score was 0 - 0. FC SN NST claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 58 percent.

The rain made it hard for players like G. Danielis to show their technical control of the ball on this soggy day. Players in Maubaer heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. 74 minutes into the match, Maubaer nearly took the lead, as T. Kajüte broke through on the right. F. Debert made the save, however. After 75 minutes FC SN NST tried to exploit their counterattacking skills, unfortunately, S. Pujol's shot sailed wide after his break down the right. E. Uranus didn't let the weather get him down and made some great moves on the pitch in spite of the rain. Maubaer's T. Kajüte could have put the guests one up after 79 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but F. Debert was as fast as a snake, grabbing the ball from under his nose. E. Uranus of FC SN NST was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. 84 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for FC SN NST was T. Estienne. Possession in this half belonged to FC SN NST, who controlled the ball 60 percent of the time.

FC SN NST's top performer was clearly T. Estienne. G. Danielis turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important Maubaer player was T. Vrubelevsky. However, T. Kajüte made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 0.
