Flensburg 1 - 3 BH (384367621)

Dark skies made the crowd of 26300 at Campus Arena a little nervous, but the rain held off. Gizur Kortsson was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Tzoori Avidan and Jan-Philip Fuchs von Grünfeld. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Flensburg. Starters: Röber - Villarín, Polimenakos, Wardęga - Noya, Wądołowski, Willaerts, Bastigkeit, Işılak - Röhling, Moosbauer.

BH started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Garcia - Bertone, Gospodarczyk, Chaze - Fichtenkamm, Boess, Walthart, Karrasch, Rügenwalde - Granjo, Valenzuela Zayas.

Today, Flensburg's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. BH saw most attack opportunities on the wings. Flensburg were very close to putting themselves one up after 2 minutes as M. Bastigkeit got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. There was concern in the stands when, at the 28 minute mark, Flensburg's H. Röber hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. Attacking on the wings was the choice for Flensburg, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. One of many good crosses from W. Rügenwalde on the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by R. Granjo, who scored for BH. 0 - 1 R. Villarín was just a finger's breadth away from an equaliser for Flensburg with a strike from the left, but D. Garcia managed to ward the shot off for a corner. Flensburg had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. With 38 minutes played, Flensburg's A. Willaerts found an opening in the visitors' left side defence, but his shot was handled easily by the keeper. 0 - 1 was the halftime score. Flensburg enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 61 percent of possession.

Flensburg's J. Röhling put his head to a high ball coming in from the right after 50 minutes, but the ball went wide. The crowd chanted their encouragement as Flensburg's M. Bastigkeit came in from the right after 56 minutes and put the ball in the net to level the score at 1 - 1. 58 minutes had elapsed when a great chance for Flensburg to take the lead after a good cross from the right found M. Bastigkeit alone with the keeper, but he chipped it to the wrong side of the post. With 65 minutes played, the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending. R. Granjo put the ball away for 1 - 2. F. Valenzuela Zayas's speed was clear to see after 81 minutes, as he darted down the wing and released R. Granjo who placed the ball into the back of the net to make the score 1 - 3. This third goal completed a hattrick for R. Granjo. The players of BH now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. After 84 minutes, D. Wardęga had a good opportunity to reduce the scoreline for Flensburg with a chance created through the middle, but wasn't cool enough. The ball went miles over the bar. Flensburg had most of the ball, with 57 percent of possession.

The most dominating Flensburg player was without a doubt S. Moosbauer. S. Noya was a disappointment, however. L. Boess performed admirably for BH. On the other hand, D. Garcia's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 3.
