kreura 2 - 1 Muldenkicker (384521488)

The 12012 spectators at Mittenwalder Grotte were in for an afternoon of sunshine. Paramon Nepiypivo was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Norbert Földvárszki and Joakim Michaelsen. kreura had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Cunha - Lovato, Cepale, Hurtado, Ruiz - de Mattos, Višňavský, Rurka, Barbaglia - Birnbaum, Spaccapelo.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Muldenkicker. They fielded: Muhsin - Vorimo, Carlland, Duus - Coppolino, van Tienen, Prasca, Tjäderman, Tuliara - Padoin, Bernbeck.

It was an obvious ambition of kreura to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. Muldenkicker saw most attack opportunities on the wings. The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of Muldenkicker's A. Coppolino after 6 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 0 - 1 lead. After a fatal mistake from the away team's right side defence 22 minutes into the match, an alert P. Cepale bagged the ball for kreura, levelling the score to 1 - 1. It was obvious that kreura had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. 31 minutes had elapsed when a great chance for kreura to take the lead after a good cross from the right found R. Hurtado alone with the keeper, but he chipped it to the wrong side of the post. Halftime score was 1 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by kreura, with 56 percent of the ball.

M. Tuliara found it hard to catch his breath today in the stifling heat. With 74 minutes played, kreura's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to G. Lovato he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 2 - 1. Players in kreura heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. Coming from the right, J. Birnbaum almost managed to score another goal for kreura, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. kreura enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of possession.

A. Ruiz performed admirably for kreura. R. Cunha on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Muldenkicker player was without a doubt M. Bernbeck. A. Coppolino turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 2 - 1.
