Walbeck 0 - 5 Abraumhalde (384442886)

The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 12000 had shown up at Bolzplatz Walbeck for the match. Gabriel Cànaves was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Anders Karstensson and Oskari Kouhia. The derby had been the talk of Nordrhein-Westfalen all week and fans of both teams could be seen throughout the stadium. A 4-5-1 alignment was the formation of choice for Walbeck. They fielded: Hourula - Steffensen, Tonn, Rochau, Boath - Martin, Sivertsen, Cavegn, Gianfagna, Waiben - Kotsifakis.

Abraumhalde started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Oslo - Cento, Bravi, Rebelo, Korsgaard - Ambrosius, Leferink, Scheibler, Kahse - Izzo, Westpreuße.

For their match strategy, Abraumhalde had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. A well placed corner kick from M. Izzo was followed by F. Scheibler's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for Abraumhalde, the score now 0 - 1. Abraumhalde were great at switching from defence to attack, and after 22 minutes, M. Izzo swept through the middle on a counterattack, making the score 0 - 2. 0 - 2 was the score after the first half. Walbeck enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 65 percent of possession.

Abraumhalde almost scored after a swift counterattack 57 minutes into the game, but S. Westpreuße put the shot from the left flank just outside the goal. After 59 minutes, Abraumhalde's M. Izzo burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 3. By now, the players in Abraumhalde felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. The referee signalled a penalty 63 minutes into the game following an offence which looked like it was outside the box. M. Izzo knocked it home to make the score 0 - 4. This third goal completed a hattrick for M. Izzo. The coach of Abraumhalde was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 75 minutes, D. Minkwitz came on for S. Leferink. After 75 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave D. Minkwitz a chance to increase the lead for Abraumhalde, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 5. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Abraumhalde coach let P. Mülmann replace S. Westpreuße after 82 minutes. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Walbeck, with 65 percent of the ball.

Walbeck's top performer was clearly A. Cavegn. V. Hourula was a disappointment, however. M. Izzo performed admirably for Abraumhalde. D. Minkwitz on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 5.
