Vippus 0 - 8 marseille (384947378)

A scorching day at Schulhaus Belpberg bei Stoubs, where 12000 spectators were in place for today's match. Loïc Auer was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Werner Egan-Krieger and Eric Morisse. Vippus tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. They fielded: Erdt - Waeber, Annen, Vilcot, Branschi - Strässle, Sievi, Nifenecker, Allstetter - Curti, Baurer.

marseille decided to use a 4-3-3 set up. Starters: Greenfeld - Hubli, Conceição, Kaibinger, Inderkum - Gisi, Boari, Estrader - Häuselmann, Kreider, Antenen.

C. Branschi received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 9 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. The guests took the lead 22 minutes into the match, after a right-side attack resulted in N. Gisi scoring to make it 0 - 1. marseille increased the lead to 0 - 2 as J. Antenen scored from the penalty spot, putting the ball in near the top left corner. After 30 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed G. Kreider to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 3. After this, you could see that the players of marseille were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. J. Conceição could have put his team up another goal 32 minutes into the game, after a rush down the left, but his closing shot hit the post. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 3. marseille claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 82 percent.

The intense heat forced C. Branschi into making some errors because he couldn't seem to keep up with the others. With 57 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed G. Kreider of marseille to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 4. J. Conceição of marseille took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 59 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 5. Just a few inches to the right, and the visitors could have had a goal 80 minutes into the match. J. Antenen surely wishes he could do that free kick over again. Some fine movement on the left led to a marseille goal after 84 minutes, making it 0 - 6. N. Hubli was noted down as the scorer. After 85 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave C. Estrader a chance to increase the lead for marseille, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 7. Several players seemed a little dazed by the warm weather, and were repeatedly tricked by the clever and agile N. Gisi. A penalty was awarded after 87 minutes, and J. Antenen made the most of his chance to put marseille up by another goal. 0 - 8 for the visitors. marseille enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 87 percent of possession.

I. Strässle performed admirably for Vippus. However, E. Erdt made a disastrous appearance. marseille's top performer was clearly G. Kreider. L. Greenfeld on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 8.
