KARTIER 1 - 0 Jeep (385895752)

Clouds darkened the skies at LE KARTIERS as 27223 spectators turned up for the match. Finnur Eiríksson was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Calle D. Olofsson and Márió Hanczár. KARTIER had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. They fielded: Bloquet - Wessles, Pătraşcu, Sera, Joyce - Minnema, Martinsson, Campolunghi, Dumartin - Vrtík, Billaud.

Jeep started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Lineup: Léna - Henriksson, Valiente Negrón, Ensebaev - Desnos, Oskó, Surace, Lethuillier, Romualdi - Gailišs, Eads.

KARTIER were relying on their ability to counter-attack. Jeep had to make a substitution after 11 minutes. Z. Oskó limped off the field and was replaced by J. Laigneau. Against a lesser team, KARTIER could very well have succeeded with their smart indirect free kick routine after 12 minutes. A trio of passes took the ball all the way past the defenders, but by then the intended recipient was already blocked off and the keeper could make a leisurely save. The crowd groaned its disapproval when L. Campolunghi missed a free kick that would have given KARTIER the lead after 21 minutes. KARTIER took the lead 27 minutes in, as M. Vrtík broke through on the left and put the 1 - 0 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. 1 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to Jeep, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

P. Martinsson should probably have put his team up another goal after 53 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by D. Léna kept the visitors in the game. Coming through the middle A. Gailišs almost scored the equaliser for Jeep after 60 minutes, but E. Bloquet made an excellent save, tipping the awkwardly curled shot past the post. Jeep's P. Desnos left the field after 65 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was S. Dard. A. Wessles could have increased the lead after 71 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. KARTIER's M. Vrtík saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 74 minutes. KARTIER had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

The most dominating KARTIER player was without a doubt M. Vrtík. E. Bloquet on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Jeep player was F. Surace. However, J. Laigneau made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 0.
