W-Kicker 0 - 1 Bramsche (384507108)

19012 spectators had found their way to Kicker Stadion, despite the heavy rain. Tuncay Meulenbroek was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Gabriel Rückerl and Ivari Külaots. Fans of both teams had been eagerly awaiting this Niedersachsen derby and were doing their best to outshout their opponents. W-Kicker had chosen a strategic 5-4-1 formation. They fielded: Stehlik - Wranke-Deminski, Arnoldi, Sachtens, Lauerhofberg, Waggers - Gogoll, Schlömer, Nürnberger, Lindenthaler - Hauchstein.

Bramsche started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Starters: Paschke - Menetetter, Pappalardo, Hoeft - Tiedmannsdorff, Pilz, Petković, Norem, Kipp - Trapolino, Everblom.

Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of W-Kicker. The wings were the focus of most of Bramsche's attacks today. W-Kicker's M. Schlömer was shown a yellow card after 29 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Bramsche had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. Bramsche's E. Hoeft got himself booked for a foul. Halftime score was 0 - 0. Bramsche enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 67 percent of possession.

Some great play up the middle by W-Kicker led to a chance for F. Hauchstein to score after 48 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. T. Bonengel-Vay was called on to replace W-Kicker's O. Wranke-Deminski after 60 minutes following a nasty collision. The crowd was amused as M. Schlömer of W-Kicker used a few interesting tricks and dribbles to get into the penalty box. The finish by F. Lindenthaler wasn't very amusing, however, as the ball flew way over the crossbar. With the match clock at 75 minutes, Bramsche modified their style of play a little bit. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 75 minutes into the match left Bramsche's M. Kipp completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. Some fine passing in the middle of the pitch, carving open the away defence, should have led to a goal for W-Kicker, but K. Nürnberger's shot went over the bar. 79 minutes in, W-Kicker's F. Hauchstein received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Possession in this half belonged to Bramsche, who controlled the ball 69 percent of the time.

W-Kicker's top performer was clearly M. Gogoll. K. Sachtens was a disappointment, however. Most important Bramsche player was F. Pilz. However, A. Trapolino made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 1.
