AIHorner 5 - 0 Elmenhorst (384684745)

The 2318 fans in attendance at AIHorner Berg were roasting in the hot sun. Antonio Medel was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Leon Brezič and Gilles Sarraute. AIHorner decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. The following players took the field: Páger - Marxmüller, Kienle, Feyman, Käsekuchen - Alaz, Wanschura, Koshev, Trentsaal - Seğmen, Schrack.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Elmenhorst. Lineup: Gröschel - Marienborn, Heidkoppelgraben, Herkströter, Felstow - Breker-Budiman, Schicklgruber, Stephani, Diest - Roßner, Hepke.

AIHorner displayed their ability to play creatively. AIHorner took the lead 7 minutes in, as C. Alaz broke through on the left and put the 1 - 0 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. With 10 minutes played, AIHorner put themselves up 2 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to C. Alaz, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. There was concern in the stands when, at the 12 minute mark, AIHorner's N. Wanschura hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in AIHorner's J. Käsekuchen increasing the lead to 3 - 0. By now, the players in AIHorner felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of AIHorner to 4 - 0 as J. Kienle finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. With 34 minutes played, N. Diest of Elmenhorst fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. C. Alaz of AIHorner received a yellow card after 36 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Halftime score was 4 - 0. AIHorner claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 60 percent.

With 51 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, H. Schicklgruber needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. Elmenhorst's S. Breker-Budiman got himself booked for a foul. The fierce heat made it important to save breath, and after a few swift runs S. Seğmen found it hard to get back into position. A free kick just outside of the visitors' penalty area after 76 minutes could have resulted in another goal, but B. Gröschel got a hand out and tipped the ball over the bar. As usual, N. Diest tried to use his strength and hard work for the benefit of the team, but the heat hit him hard and he couldn't keep pace at all. AIHorner were given a gift! The ref dubiously awarded them a penalty 85 minutes into the match, which was neatly put away by T. Feyman. 5 - 0 for the home side. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by AIHorner, with 61 percent of the ball.

Most important AIHorner player was J. Schrack. However, K. Páger made a disastrous appearance. Elmenhorst's top performer was clearly D. Heidkoppelgraben. B. Gröschel was a disappointment, however. The match ends 5 - 0.
