Elbflorenz 2 - 8 Stöcken (384646202)

4600 spectators arrived at Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Carlos José Chamorro was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Cesáreo Moral and Tonni Fink. Elbflorenz started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. They fielded: Rossoni - Möller, Rensing, Kiontke, Grois - Pernecker, Grub, Schoenenberger, Tahoedl - Henke, Švarc.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Stöcken. Lineup: Gravić - Dahl, Obernberg, Brameshuber, Gschwandtner - Klüfer, Schlesien, Litzl, Sundgauer - Tararin, Ilsebill.

A mistake by the home side's central defence after 7 minutes allowed F. Ilsebill to score for Stöcken. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. Some things can only be learned through experience, and D. Brameshuber should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting Elbflorenz a goal with 25 minutes of the match played. After 29 minutes, Stöcken's F. Ilsebill burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. With 38 minutes played, Stöcken's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to D. Brameshuber he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 0 - 3. Y. Tararin received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 39 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 4. The Stöcken fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. After this, you could see that the players of Stöcken were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. 0 - 4 was the score after the first half. Stöcken enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 59 percent of possession.

47 minutes into the match, B. Sundgauer came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. G. Schlesien increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 5. After 62 minutes D. Švarc could have reduced the lead with a blistering strike from the left wing, had it not been for an excellent block by the visitors' keeper. The Stöcken free kick 68 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of F. Ilsebill, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 0 - 6! At that, F. Ilsebill was noted down for a hat trick! Stöcken's D. Brameshuber had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 72 minutes having been played. D. Oldendorff was the replacement. A penalty kick was awarded to Elbflorenz 76 minutes into the match, and F. Möller expertly put it away. 1 - 6. The corner kick from S. Dahl was powerfully met by the head of Y. Tararin to make the score 1 - 7. The visitors' Y. Tararin took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 80 minutes into the match. 1 - 8 for Stöcken. By then Y. Tararin had scored three goals - a hat trick! T. Henke was the first to reach the corner kick, but his header was blocked by the keeper. However, Elbflorenz's T. Tahoedl managed to get hold of the rebound and tucked the ball into the empty net. 2 - 8 Possession in this half belonged to Stöcken, who controlled the ball 61 percent of the time.

Elbflorenz's best player was G. Rensing. D. Pernecker turned in a dismal performance, however. G. Schlesien performed admirably for Stöcken. On the other hand, B. Gravić's play was disheartening. The match ends 2 - 8.
