Parente 1 - 1 tschaupi (385005871)

The crowd of 16941 turning up at San Pare today were greeted with some nasty showers of rain. Cornelius Brehler was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Asier Sande Guzmán and Rodney Kaleohano. Parente decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Peppler - Mila, Wojtas, Uhde - Rovandi, Jancsó, Hänseler, Dekeris, Schellenberg - Iruñela, Arnsberg.

tschaupi had chosen a strategic 5-3-2 formation. Starters: Madera - Conde, Spielberg, Candaner, Gelida, Pianica - Petery, Séchaud, Maussion - Kuchař, Briendl.

Parente saw most attack opportunities on the wings. tschaupi were able to draw a foul with their counterattacks, but the shot from R. Briendl went into the arms of the keeper. tschaupi had a great opportunity to score following a counterattack after 22 minutes, but R. Briendl's shot from the left sailed high over the bar. It wasn't a pretty goal, but the free kick by F. Mila after 28 minutes somehow found its way past the keeper. Parente takes the lead, 1 - 0! It was 1 - 0 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Parente, with 55 percent of the ball.

The bench was restless, and with 46 minutes passed tschaupi's coach gave P. Buleetwa the opportunity the player had been hoping for. R. Briendl reluctantly left the field. tschaupi needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 46 minutes D. Gelida made way for B. Vyverman. The visitors didn't give in and, after 47 minutes, P. Buleetwa got through the home side's central line of defence, rolling in the equaliser to make it 1 - 1. Parente had a magnificent opportunity after 59 minutes as A. Iruñela hit the ball hard from the edge of the penalty box. However, the shot went wide. Parente were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. Parente created a good opportunity to score 61 minutes into the match when A. Iruñela's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. tschaupi's A. Pianica could have put the guests one up after 63 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but M. Peppler was as fast as a snake, grabbing the ball from under his nose. E. Dekeris was struggling to make the ball dance with his usual trickery and panache, and the opposing players had little trouble shutting him down in these muddy conditions. After 85 minutes, the tschaupi coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving I. Séchaud off the field. L. van der Westen took his place. The crowd groaned its disapproval when F. Mila missed a free kick that would have given Parente the lead after 85 minutes. Parente claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

The most dominating Parente player was without a doubt M. Uhde. However, M. Peppler made a disastrous appearance. tschaupi's top performer was clearly B. Kuchař. L. van der Westen was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 1.
