Polonia 1 - 2 Rushs (387404986)

A scorching day at Polonia Nowa Sól Arena, where 18541 spectators were in place for today's match. Sven Erwin Trompet was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jelle van Gog and Abraão Cabrito. Polonia decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Felpeto - Dušenka, Arıç, Ligęzka - Szeryf, Brackwede, Villiez, Lantz, Breixas - Terstall, Bock.

Rushs had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Starters: Pólis - Helling, Diéguez, O'Leary - Tárnai, Pompeyo, Giacintucci, Coniglio, Stania - Ramirez, Mohn.

The wings were the focus of most of Polonia's attacks today. 24 minutes in, Polonia's E. Villiez received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. M. Pólis was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so Rushs's Z. Cantillana had to come off the bench. 0 - 1 was the score with 27 minutes played, after A. Mohn cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for Rushs. Polonia's M. Ligęzka left the field after 28 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was Ł. Płóciennik. 30 minutes into the match, M. Giacintucci came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. The cannonball from 35 metres by M. Giacintucci of Rushs was an impressive sight, but didn't make it into the net. It was 0 - 1 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Rushs, who controlled the ball 61 percent of the time.

S. Pompeyo received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 52 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 2. The Rushs fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Rushs lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. A quick free kick deep in the opponent's half found A. Lantz, who produced a brilliant first touch to send it flying beyond the keeper into the net. This reduced the away team's lead to 1 - 2. D. Ramirez came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over L. Felpeto but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. Rushs enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 61 percent of possession.

A. Lantz performed admirably for Polonia. É. Brackwede turned in a dismal performance, however. Rushs's best player was S. Coniglio. On the other hand, Z. Cantillana's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 2.
