FF Mädels 1 - 2 Onkelz (384448691)

Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 22214 at Famole's Fehlprägungsarena today. Czesław Marut was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Frank Højsgaard and Rickard Ångmar. Fans of both teams had been eagerly awaiting this Baden-Württemberg derby and were doing their best to outshout their opponents. FF Mädels tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players took the field: Grzędziulec - Ekesparre, Sechtem, Saldanha - Hölzel, Evangelista, Rhode, Vodomerov, Flament - Launia, De Nil.

Onkelz had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. Lineup: Cousino - Katt, van Griethuijsen, Polesnig, Marassi - Selimaj, Glowik, Waryński, Lefrère - López Martí, Van Ranst.

A. Evangelista's lack of experience almost gave Onkelz a goal after 10 minutes, but the shot went right into the keeper's arms. Onkelz took the lead after 11 minutes making the score 0 - 1. M. López Martí placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave M. Lefrère from Onkelz a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 13 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, F. Selimaj got himself booked. The manager of Onkelz was not happy. V. Vodomerov could have scored for FF Mädels with his free kick after 38 minutes, but the visitors' keeper just managed to get a hand on it. 0 - 1 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to FF Mädels, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

With the clock showing 65 minutes played, V. Vodomerov equalised for FF Mädels after curling a free kick around the defensive wall to make the score 1 - 1. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 71 minutes into the match, and K. Katt wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 1 - 2 for the visitors. Onkelz's M. van Griethuijsen got himself booked for a foul. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by FF Mädels, with 53 percent of the ball.

FF Mädels's top performer was clearly W. Sechtem. However, M. Ekesparre made a disastrous appearance. Onkelz's best player was N. Polesnig. On the other hand, J. Cousino's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 2.
