Dcxv 0 - 5 Rastacool (386034430)

2078 punters turned up at Dcxv Arena, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. David Lannerholt was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Poldi Linnemann and Bernhard Klövkorn. Dcxv tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. Starters: Gonnord - Philippot, Fromont, Sanchez, Gastineau - Berthelot, Martin, Hoarau, Grail - Roque, Planque.

Rastacool decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: Hourdin - Adolphe, Dailly, Kervran - Simone, Welsh, Mouret, Montironi, Casse - Loyer, Vera-Cruz.

The Rastacool free kick 25 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of L. Welsh, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 0 - 1! M. Montironi hit the corner kick straight to the keeper, but it was mishandled, giving Rastacool's L. Welsh an easy chance to knock it in for 0 - 2. The referee showed Dcxv's V. Fromont the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. L. Adolphe of Rastacool took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 33 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 3. After this, you could see that the players of Rastacool were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. 0 - 3 was the score after the first half. Rastacool enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 60 percent of possession.

After 67 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed A. Vera-Cruz to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 4. With 74 minutes played, Rastacool's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to J. Loyer he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 0 - 5. F. Hoarau of Dcxv received a yellow card after 78 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Unsportsmanlike behaviour by V. Fromont rendered him his second booking of the match, and Dcxv had to finish the game with a reduced squad. Possession in this half belonged to Rastacool, who controlled the ball 68 percent of the time.

Dcxv's best player was A. Philippot. On the other hand, S. Gonnord's play was disheartening. J. Loyer performed admirably for Rastacool. M. Montironi turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 5.
