previous 5/10 next 7/10  SaS 6 - 0 NapalmShoes (384499415)

The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 16620 had shown up at Siegesarena for the match. Djunaidi Siahaan was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Mototsugu Kitazawa and Ascensión Villa. SaS had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. They fielded: Beck - Aleksić, Rauch, Grenier - Thalkirch, Haffner, Aubele, Staude - Đức Nhân, Longhurst, Gustävel.

NapalmShoes decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Niwa - Postillion, Aguadé, Herbsthofer - Ahlers, Elsholz, Borckenhagen, Gevay, Seutter - Großgasteiger, Kraenzlein.

NapalmShoes used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. A. Longhurst gave SaS the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0 SaS managed to extend their lead to 2 - 0 when A. Longhurst cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. NapalmShoes's D. Gevay was shown a yellow card after 14 minutes for slicing down an opponent. After 15 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and M. Thalkirch gave the SaS supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 3 - 0. SaS's opponents know to be wary of M. Thalkirch's speed, but it made little difference as he flew past the defence 25 minutes into the game. Only the keeper could stop him - and he did with a perfectly timed dive! M. Thalkirch's speed is always a threat when he gets a little room to move, and 27 minutes into the match was no different as he broke free of his man to send a delightful through ball to A. Longhurst who knocked it in for SaS. 4 - 0! By then A. Longhurst had scored three goals - a hat trick! By now, the players in SaS felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. A great save by keeper M. Niwa after 29 minutes kept the visitors in the game after N. Đức Nhân struck from the left with a real cannonball. 30 minutes in, SaS's N. Haffner received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. 4 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by SaS, with 59 percent of the ball.

NapalmShoes had a fair chance to reply after 47 minutes due to some fine moves down the left, but in the end D. Großgasteiger was slow to keep up with the play and was unable to make it into the penalty box to apply a finish. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave M. Seutter from NapalmShoes a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 61 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Things were deteriorating for the away team as SaS scored another to make it 5 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for N. Đức Nhân after 71 minutes. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of SaS to 6 - 0 as N. Đức Nhân finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. The crowd roared its approval when F. Beck somehow managed to block a shot which seemed to be a certain goal by NapalmShoes's M. Seutter 77 minutes into the game. SaS put in a good effort on the right, but M. Thalkirch saw his volley fly wide of the mark 79 minutes into the game. SaS enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 58 percent of possession.

Most important SaS player was A. Longhurst. F. Beck on the other hand, had a terrible day. NapalmShoes's top performer was clearly B. Kraenzlein. H. Herbsthofer turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 6 - 0.
