Power-snaiko 0 - 2 TeBe X (384434685)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 15607 to Düssel-Arena. Ralf Schwansee was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Bonnand Gorronc and Florian Lebeau. Power-snaiko decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. The following players took the field: Palafox - Erdem, Gedeon, Semprún, Árpa - Obert, Bogdán, Espanca, Perlach - Friebel, Rafael.

TeBe X had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. They fielded: Hetterle - Musuruana, Turone, Mercader, Giacon - Westerink, Bergman, Möllerland, Benetó, Månsson - Jurgielewicz.

Power-snaiko used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. Making his way up the middle 28 minutes into the match, N. Rafael almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert W. Hetterle blocked it to keep the score level. After the game, the most discussed event will probably be the penalty given after 35 minutes that gave the visitors the 0 - 1 lead. Despite the controversy, B. Musuruana struck home the penalty, as cool as anything. Power-snaiko had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. Some fine passing in the middle of the pitch, carving open the away defence, should have led to a goal for Power-snaiko, but F. Semprún's shot went over the bar. Against a lesser team, TeBe X could very well have succeeded with their smart indirect free kick routine after 43 minutes. A trio of passes took the ball all the way past the defenders, but by then the intended recipient was already blocked off and the keeper could make a leisurely save. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Power-snaiko, with 59 percent of the ball.

With 46 minutes played, the Power-snaiko coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. T. Langdalen came on, T. Perlach had to leave the fray. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for Power-snaiko, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. Power-snaiko put pressure on the visitors' central defence 47 minutes into the game, but N. Rafael couldn't find an opening. Given a free kick close to the byline, TeBe X tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let P. Möllerland slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 0 - 2, 59 minutes into the game. 64 minutes in, TeBe X's P. Möllerland received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The TeBe X players could smell victory in the air. S. Benetó wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for L. Berns after 75 minutes. E. Bergman was the new captain of TeBe X - handed the armband by the departing player. S. Espanca did everything he could to get one back for his Power-snaiko, but keeper W. Hetterle denied him with a spectacular block. G. Friebel challenged the visitors' central defence eagerly, producing a good chance 80 minutes into the game as he went for a through ball. But, as so many times before, the guests' defensive efforts got the best of it. Power-snaiko enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 59 percent of possession.

Most important Power-snaiko player was E. Gedeon. J. Palafox on the other hand, had a terrible day. J. Jurgielewicz performed admirably for TeBe X. On the other hand, B. Musuruana's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 2.
