Ohoo 3 - 3 Flyhigh (384888840)

Due to an all-day shower, 27660 paying spectators got to see a match on a pitch-turned-bog at SC Ohoo Arena. Carlos Alberto Penha was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Dominik Bloch and Wayne Schmeink. A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Ohoo. The following players had been chosen: Polidoro - Nylund, Caunāns, Ćetković - Raninger, Borsch, Bellamy, Tremoya - Villafuentes, Dellinger, Osipov.

Flyhigh decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Starters: Geering - André, Fidalgo, Cubinyà - Lavrijssen, Shemesh, Debal, Drieu, Biffiger - Lundberg, Däwitz.

The terraces were silenced after 15 minutes when Flyhigh's J. Lavrijssen put the guests ahead 0 - 1, following an attack on the right. O. Dellinger made a superb strike after 33 minutes with a shot straight in front of the goal after a long ball through the middle, but one of the visitors' defenders got a foot in at the last second and warded it off for a corner. After 39 minutes, T. Bellamy got through on the right and was very close to equalising for the home side, but didn't get the shot away. After 43 minutes, Flyhigh raised their score by one when J. Lavrijssen's dangerous low cross was cleverly tucked in at the near post by W. Däwitz. 0 - 2. The home side worked hard to get through the middle and as a result, had a good chance of getting one back as P. Borsch tried lifting the ball over keeper N. Geering. Unfortunately, the ball went just over the bar. After 44 minutes, Flyhigh's H. Fidalgo burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 3. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Flyhigh lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 3. Possession in this half belonged to Ohoo, who controlled the ball 55 percent of the time.

Ohoo's N. Osipov managed a superb strike from the left after 56 minutes that would have left goalkeeper N. Geering without a chance, had it not hit the post. Flyhigh's H. Fidalgo was shown a yellow card after 60 minutes for slicing down an opponent. A. Caunāns looked like he could fly, as he rose high to head the ball. Unfortunately for Ohoo, the ball went just barely wide. The home crowd were delighted when J. Villafuentes scored with a header after an attack from the right, making the score 1 - 3. But did he use his hand? That'll be one for the pundits to talk about after the game, that's for sure! After 84 minutes Flyhigh's R. Shemesh contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. 85 minutes into the game Ohoo broke through on the left wing and Í. Tremoya managed to reduce the lead to 2 - 3. After a scuffle in the guests' penalty area 87 minutes into the game, the home team was awarded a penalty. M. Ćetković scored to make it 3 - 3. Ohoo's A. Caunāns got himself booked for a foul. R. Shemesh was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so Flyhigh's J. Isaac had to come off the bench. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Ohoo, with 58 percent of the ball.

The most dominating Ohoo player was without a doubt N. Osipov. Í. Tremoya was a disappointment, however. K. Lundberg performed admirably for Flyhigh. N. Geering turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 3.
