Donar 0 - 8 Arkadiosenal (387376577)

It was an exceptionally sunny day for the crowd of 12000 that came out to Donar Stadion. Gary Marler was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Dac Quan and Yoann Marc. Fans of both teams had been eagerly awaiting this Mazowieckie derby and were doing their best to outshout their opponents. Donar had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Ojdowski - Równy, Biront, Bywalec, Ossowski - Niechciał, Świetlicki, Dziąg, Szałkiewicz - Chojniak, Chruściel.

Arkadiosenal decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Starters: Marvi - Smidemann, Schmidtke, Bãtrînu - Biçici, De Carli, Hovi, Moreolo, Uther - Ozdarski, Ranocchi.

Arkadiosenal tried to focus their attacks down the middle. Arkadiosenal's D. Ranocchi gave the visitors a 0 - 1 lead after 6 minutes with a superb strike from the right. After 11 minutes Donar's L. Równy contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. After 15 minutes, Arkadiosenal's G. De Carli burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. It was a hot and sunny day, and several players seemed worn out. Maybe this was why M. Dziąg found an unusual amount of space for his snappy footwork. After 29 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed D. Ranocchi to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 3. 36 minutes into the game, Donar had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to weak. Arkadiosenal were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. After 38 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for E. Biçici who increased Arkadiosenal's lead to 0 - 4. The players of Arkadiosenal now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. Arkadiosenal had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. The home crowd cheered when, after 41 minutes, J. Hovi's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. Donar will have to do without L. Biront for a time, due to a bad foot injury at the 44 minute mark. He was substituted by D. Czyżowski. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 4. Arkadiosenal had most of the ball, with 88 percent of possession.

During the break, Donar's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to solid organisation. 52 minutes into the match, F. Ozdarski came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. After 65 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Donar found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to weak. E. Biçici left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 69 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. C. Betta was the replacement. In an effort to secure the lead, Arkadiosenal changed their tactic after 69 minutes. The coach of Arkadiosenal was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 74 minutes, F. Bombarely came on for I. Schmidtke. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for Arkadiosenal, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. The visitors' G. De Carli took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 76 minutes into the match. 0 - 5 for Arkadiosenal. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Arkadiosenal coach let E. Ballegaard replace J. Hovi after 79 minutes. The home crowd was not impressed when V. Bãtrînu came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 83 minutes. Arkadiosenal were now up 0 - 6. D. Czyżowski didn't pace himself at all, and after a series of daring offensive runs he was too tired to help out in the defensive play. After 85 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave M. Moreolo a chance to increase the lead for Arkadiosenal, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 7. It was obvious that team Arkadiosenal had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings. D. Ranocchi received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 87 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 8. The Arkadiosenal fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. By then D. Ranocchi had scored three goals - a hat trick! Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Arkadiosenal, with 89 percent of the ball.

Donar's top performer was clearly L. Równy. C. Ojdowski on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Arkadiosenal player was M. Moreolo. Y. Marvi was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 8.
