previous 4/10 next 6/10  WBS 2 - 0 Nandit (385487431)

29500 fans braved the pouring rain at Smithery. Cristiano Bulgarelli was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Mårten Björkerberg and Alejandrino Ravettino. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for WBS. The following players took the field: Palmroth - Daulne, Hansen, Evangelista - Augsberger, Wijffels, Wickerberg, Ahmed, Stefaniak - Mulazzani, Koot.

Nandit tactics involved an interesting 4-5-1 combination. They fielded: Blitek - Zuffada, Meijlink, Nikinoja, Voss - Gunneweg, Ruokola, Ferretti, Sulkupuro, Merviö - Vilmi.

After 23 minutes, D. Wijffels came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 1 - 0, giving WBS the lead. WBS's L. Hansen was shown a yellow card after 40 minutes for slicing down an opponent. In a fantastic display of determination, Nandit's G. Meijlink forced himself to his feet, after an opponent viciously knocked him down. WBS's B. Augsberger swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. Halftime score was 1 - 0. WBS enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of possession.

With 50 minutes gone, E. Ferretti suddenly found himself completely free on the right wing when a counterattack by Nandit caught their opponents by surprise. Only a great save by the opposing keeper prevented him from scoring. With 60 minutes played, the Nandit coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. S. Jäkkö came on, W. Vilmi had to leave the fray. After 74 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and B. Stefaniak gave the WBS supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 2 - 0. The referee showed WBS's S. Ahmed the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Unfortunately for Nandit, O. Nikinoja was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. M. Toppala replaced him. R. Palmroth made a brilliant save 83 minutes into the match, blocking a rocket of a shot from S. Ruokola on the right hand side. Possession of the ball saw an equal split between the teams during the forty-five minutes.

WBS's top performer was clearly A. Mulazzani. B. Koot on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Nandit player was without a doubt L. Zuffada. M. Toppala was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 0.
