Kinder 2 - 0 Dresden (384325357)

Clear skies welcomed the 46815 spectators who had made their way to Das Loch. Bruno Conceição was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Marcello Marino and Siebe Lunenburg. Kinder decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Schofnegger - Fornoni, 云胜 (Yunsheng), Gröönblad - Heigener, Rottmooser, Parsch, Daumas, Halen - Ranlind, Milo.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Dresden. Lineup: Ader - Rouzaud, Kozielski, Baudaffi, Kleijn - Dellinger, Manara, Madariaga Sáenz, Van Oosterwyck - Le Mentec, Gallegos.

It was obvious that Dresden were using their pressing skill as their primary tactic. Kinder could have put themselves ahead after 2 minutes but Y. Milo missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. 16 minutes in, Dresden's H. Gallegos received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. With 20 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as Y. Milo flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. Dresden's A. Rouzaud left the field after 41 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was I. Schären. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. Y. Milo squirmed through their central defence after 42 minutes, increasing the lead to 2 - 0. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Kinder, with 64 percent of the ball.

Dresden's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. Kinder had most of the ball, with 66 percent of possession.

Kinder's top performer was clearly M. Ranlind. D. Halen was a disappointment, however. Most important Dresden player was E. Manara. I. Schären on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 0.
