EINTRACHT 0 - 4 Begradigte (384336518)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and FC EINTRACHT POLLE Arena saw a crowd turnout of 41580. Mzuzi Akii-Bua was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Anssi Hillu and Erich Mathis. EINTRACHT tactics involved an interesting 4-3-3 combination. They fielded: Woringer - Kocsis, Ghitã, Kleine, Schramm - Vilaverde, Kanapinis, Persson - Bria, Borrego, Rab.

Begradigte started off with a 5-3-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Katzung - Watt, Bogucki, Naticchia, Balog, Parra - Rating, Flade, Owstien - Vejlgaard, Gana.

Pressing was the tactic of the day for EINTRACHT. Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Begradigte. Begradigte's F. Balog gave the visitors a 0 - 1 lead after 5 minutes with a superb strike from the right. A drive down the left side allowed R. Gana to get in close and score another goal for Begradigte after 15 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 2. After this, you could see that the players of Begradigte were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. A well placed corner kick from F. Flade was followed by P. Vejlgaard's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for Begradigte, the score now 0 - 3. Some things can only be learned through experience, and H. Kleine should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting Begradigte a goal with 20 minutes of the match played. Begradigte once again set a long distance shooter in position after 21 minutes, but the defenders were wide awake and closed in on the shooter in time to block the shot. With 25 minutes played, B. Owstien nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. Given a free kick in a difficult position after 26 minutes, Begradigte 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. After 31 minutes, EINTRACHT's B. Vilaverde fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! 0 - 3 was the score after the first half. Begradigte enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 56 percent of possession.

H. Kleine of EINTRACHT was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. EINTRACHT's B. Vilaverde had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 67 minutes having been played. A. Krustiņš was the replacement. 76 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 4 as F. Flade finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. EINTRACHT had to make a substitution after 84 minutes. D. Kanapinis limped off the field and was replaced by L. Rossbacher. Possession in this half belonged to Begradigte, who controlled the ball 57 percent of the time.

EINTRACHT's top performer was clearly P. Persson. However, E. Bria made a disastrous appearance. B. Owstien performed admirably for Begradigte. On the other hand, M. Naticchia's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 4.
