Verdo 11 - 0 Norddörfer (384400560)

22497 spectators arrived at Rosenau, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Victor Gastinel was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Gabriele Crupi and Janosch Paul. Verdo had chosen a strategic 5-3-2 formation. The following players took the field: Pedrosa - Kocsis, Bardou, Kernpendorf, Broeckl, Uusiheimala - Brodard, Zecchino, Hesselballe - Magalhães, Etchechury.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Norddörfer. Lineup: Pfisterer - von Weshphalen, Asseburg, Hütten, Brietzke - Kornführer, Rautner, Dußwald, Bode - Daams, Staniecki.

Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Verdo. They were singing the praises of S. Brodard 12 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 1 - 0 to Verdo. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. V. Hesselballe squirmed through their central defence after 18 minutes, increasing the lead to 2 - 0. D. Etchechury increased the lead for Verdo to 3 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! At this point, it was obvious that the players of Verdo lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Verdo to 4 - 0 as H. Magalhães finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. Halftime score was 4 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Verdo, with 84 percent of the ball.

Verdo were given a gift! The ref dubiously awarded them a penalty 53 minutes into the match, which was neatly put away by H. Magalhães. 5 - 0 for the home side. The suddenness of the Verdo's S. Brodard's pass to H. Magalhães after 63 minutes caught the opposition wrong-footed, and they could only watch as the ball sailed home for 6 - 0. That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for H. Magalhães. Cheers filled the stadium as H. Magalhães broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 7 - 0 to Verdo. 66 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as H. Magalhães broke through, making the score 8 - 0 for Verdo. Verdo's V. Hesselballe increased the lead to 9 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 69 minutes. Verdo had to make a substitution after 70 minutes. H. Uusiheimala limped off the field and was replaced by H. Röver. Verdo's H. Magalhães struck his penalty well enough to beat the goalkeeper and extend the home team's lead to 10 - 0 after 77 minutes. Verdo increased the lead as V. Hesselballe struck to make the score 11 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. By then V. Hesselballe had scored three goals - a hat trick! Verdo enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 86 percent of possession.

Verdo's top performer was clearly H. Magalhães. On the other hand, H. Röver's play was disheartening. Norddörfer's best player was G. Staniecki. B. Daams was a disappointment, however. The match ends 11 - 0.
