VFL 6 - 1 Eiderstedt (384541962)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 16912 to Nordpark. Trond Berg was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Andri Leesment and Stefan Melssen. A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for VFL. Lineup: Brands - Vendramin, Fountakis, Daeren - Ziza, Cappadoro, Bergo, Arecco - Petri, Di Nardo, Hedilla.

Eiderstedt had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Starters: Hoveida - Blücher, Gossye, Winters - Langmaack, Lydholm, Sassi, Höckelsberger, Prummer - Fruehauf, Leven.

VFL saw most attack opportunities on the wings. Slack defending gave VFL a chance to take the lead with 3 minutes played, but M. Di Nardo's cross from the left flank was fumbled in front of the goal and easily dealt with by the opposition. After a fine move down the middle M. Di Nardo nearly gave the home side a goal after 8 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. After 12 minutes of play, M. Di Nardo gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. After 30 minutes, V. Petri put VFL ahead 2 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. By now, the players in VFL felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. 2 - 0 was the halftime score. VFL had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.

M. Fountakis could have put VFL up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 51 minutes. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in VFL's M. Di Nardo increasing the lead to 3 - 0. VFL's P. Hedilla increased the lead to 4 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 70 minutes. A corner kick created great disorder in the penalty area with a goal nearly scored by M. Fountakis. At last, VFL's P. Hedilla was able to backheel the ball in. 5 - 0. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave W. Sassi from Eiderstedt a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 86 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! M. Di Nardo earned a rousing chorus of cheers from his fans as he seemed to come out of nowhere after 87 minutes to intercept the ball and put it in the back of the net for VFL. 6 - 0. This third goal completed a hattrick for M. Di Nardo. Morale on the visitors' bench was greatly improved when their K. Höckelsberger reduced the lead to make it 6 - 1 after 88 minutes, following a pass from the right. Neither team was controlling the possession at this point in the match, with the stats showing a 50:50 split.

M. Di Nardo performed admirably for VFL. P. Hedilla turned in a dismal performance, however. Eiderstedt's best player was L. Langmaack. C. Winters was a disappointment, however. The match ends 6 - 1.
