czopy mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. The wings were the focus of most of Kolareczki's attacks today. After 6 minutes of play, A. Kuiper gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. czopy increased the lead as Á. Králik struck to make the score 2 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave B. Plankar from Kolareczki a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 25 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Morale on the visitors' bench was greatly improved when their B. Plankar reduced the lead to make it 2 - 1 after 30 minutes, following a pass from the right. 34 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as S. Salvesen broke through, making the score 3 - 1 for czopy. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, M. Bağış got himself booked. The manager of Kolareczki was not happy. 39 minutes into the match, Kolareczki replied and reduced the lead to 3 - 2. M. Kistler scored on a marvellous cross pass coming in from the left. 3 - 2 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to Kolareczki, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

czopy's R. Piechaczek swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. Kolareczki's counterattacks were lethal to the opposing defence, allowing I. Várkonyi to score easily from the right flank for 3 - 3. After a fine move down the middle P. Kuloğlu nearly gave the home side a goal after 55 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. Kolareczki were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. Kolareczki's A. Micu gave the visitors a 3 - 4 lead after 64 minutes with a superb strike from the right. czopy's M. Rejman had seen it all before, so he waited patiently for the right opportunity. He would get no better chance than the one he took, but his shot was deftly blocked by the keeper. 86 minutes in, and czopy were able to score the equalising goal to make it 4 - 4 when Á. Králik picked up a pass coming in from the right and chipped it past the away team's keeper. Kolareczki claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 52 percent.

The most dominating czopy player was without a doubt Á. Králik. R. Piechaczek was a disappointment, however. Kolareczki's top performer was clearly N. Perri. However, W. Kaca made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 4.
