Kiekuri 4 - 4 Fuberbuhler (385535813)

It was an exceptionally sunny day for the crowd of 17937 that came out to isojen poikien hiekkalaatikko. Mark Nunes was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Frans Vanderhoydonck and Jamel Bobichon. Kiekuri decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Wagner - Wijnstekers, Durand, Albu - Abuauad, Cabelo, Koorevaar, De Cesaris, Bakuła - Lisser, Ciron.

Fuberbuhler started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Gili - Amdisen, Maddaloni, Pereyra - Grönlund, Nuotio, Teruel, Tercero, Tynni - Häkkinen, Grönqvist.

Several players seemed a little dazed by the warm weather, and were repeatedly tricked by the clever and agile G. De Cesaris. 10 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for Kiekuri was M. Koorevaar. N. Albu was ever so close to scoring after an excellent corner was beautifully flicked on by A. Abuauad, but the ball bounced off the post to safety. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave M. Koorevaar from Kiekuri a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 26 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! E. Tercero made a run for the goal 27 minutes into the game but the home team's left back managed to sort the situation out in the end. W. Bakuła increased Kiekuri's lead to 2 - 0 with a penalty spot cannonball. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Kiekuri, with 53 percent of the ball.

58 minutes into the match, Fuberbuhler replied and reduced the lead to 2 - 1. J. Grönqvist scored on a marvellous cross pass coming in from the left. The referee showed Fuberbuhler's T. Teruel the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Fuberbuhler tied it all up, 63 minutes in, after a spectacular goal by J. Grönqvist, who miraculously broke through the home side's central defence, making it 2 - 2. Fuberbuhler's T. Häkkinen was shown a yellow card after 67 minutes for slicing down an opponent. L. Wijnstekers of Kiekuri had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. J. Bojārs came in to finish the match. C. Ciron caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 70 minutes. This gave Kiekuri the 3 - 2 lead. 76 minutes into the match the visitors levelled the score at 3 - 3 as T. Häkkinen struck home from a rebound off the crossbar, following a shot from the right. Kiekuri took the lead 78 minutes in, as C. Ciron broke through on the left and put the 4 - 3 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. After 79 minutes, the visitors levelled the scores after C. Pereyra made it through the middle and struck home to make it 4 - 4. Kiekuri had most of the ball, with 54 percent of possession.

The most dominating Kiekuri player was without a doubt G. De Cesaris. K. Lisser turned in a dismal performance, however. J. Grönqvist performed admirably for Fuberbuhler. However, B. Amdisen made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 4.
