Waleczne 4 - 1 Scuderia (387296897)

38139 punters turned up at Arena Mistrzów, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Jean-Luis Ferretti was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Hernán José Parodi and Stefan Killstål. Waleczne tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Labak - Holka, Klag, Monaco - Šipka, Malicki, Szarafiński, Zgoła, Łysakowski - Chwastek, Brzostek.

Scuderia started off with a 2-5-3 lineup. Starters: Surażyński - Totkov, Langelaan - Dahl, Burgaleta, Krayushkin, Hrovatin, Garrido - Frings, Dadashev, Cerqueira.

Waleczne took the lead after 2 minutes as a result of A. Chwastek's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0. The home side's J. Szarafiński came close to extending the lead 8 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but J. Surażyński managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. The corner kick from S. Totkov was powerfully met by the head of S. Cerqueira to make the score 1 - 1. After 15 minutes of play, A. Chwastek gave the home team a 2 - 1 lead after an attack coming in from the right. Waleczne's E. Holka left the field after 15 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was A. Piontek. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, A. Dadashev got himself booked. The manager of Scuderia was not happy. It was 2 - 1 at the break. Waleczne enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 64 percent of possession.

A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Waleczne's F. Monaco increasing the lead to 3 - 1. J. Szarafiński should probably have put his team up another goal after 68 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by J. Surażyński kept the visitors in the game. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 74 minutes, Waleczne did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, A. Piontek was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 4 - 1. Confident in their lead, Waleczne's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. G. Frings nearly reduced the lead 77 minutes into the game, but a splendid one-handed save by R. Labak prevented the attempt coming in from the right flank from hitting the back of the net. Possession in this half belonged to Waleczne, who controlled the ball 63 percent of the time.

Waleczne's top performer was clearly F. Łysakowski. R. Labak was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Scuderia player was without a doubt S. Cerqueira. On the other hand, S. Langelaan's play was disheartening. The match ends 4 - 1.
