Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 18591 at FC Perejro Arena today. Dominik Weigel was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Williams Tilley and Arne Bastiaans. Perejro tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Dorner - van Riessen, Høiby, Jagannathan - Kulawiak, Butzmann, Groborz, Selkee, Langenhorn - Rompa, Kusaj.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for POZNAN. Starters: Colmo - Storhaug, Kažanegra, Gaustad - Telej, Piechowski, Kalderon, Karolkiewicz, Bachórz - Sidler, Coll.

Perejro mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. POZNAN tried to focus their attacks down the middle. Perejro's A. Butzmann tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. D. Kusaj gave Perejro the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0 31 minutes in, Perejro's D. Kusaj received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Cheers filled the stadium as J. Langenhorn broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 2 - 0 to Perejro. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to Perejro, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

Perejro solidified their lead at the 48 minute mark, as D. Kusaj dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 3 - 0. The game was close to savage at times, and Perejro's D. Kusaj received a second yellow card after 57 minutes; his ticket out of the game. With 68 minutes showing on the scoreboard clock, POZNAN showed some good skill and were able to reduce the score to 3 - 1 when A. Coll got past the home side's central defenders right in front of the goal. 77 minutes into the game, P. Rompa had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came D. Prokopczuk. It was obvious that team Perejro had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings. Perejro claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 52 percent.

Perejro's top performer was clearly D. Prokopczuk. T. Dorner on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important POZNAN player was E. Sidler. A. Telej was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 1.
