Wyluzowane 3 - 2 Ranforest (387455014)

10517 spectators arrived at Wyluzowany Stadion, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Tim Buitenwerf was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Filipe Ferreira Pimenta and 郝 (Hao) 宝泯 (Baomin) . Wyluzowane had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Škuletić - Siclari, Cielma, Mikłasz - Trachanias, Jachowski, Stoica, Gmitruk, Burroni - Gruev, Nesterenko.

Ranforest decided to use a 5-4-1 set up. Lineup: Romy - Paśnikowski, Hałakuc, Dubert, Hejnowicz, Łuszkiewicz - Warulik, Ortel, Epp, Głodowski - Melski.

Wyluzowane clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. For their match strategy, Ranforest had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. 7 minutes of the match played, and a comedy of errors by the home side gave the visitors a chance at the lead, but R. Głodowski, after finding himself dashing down on goal from the left with only the keeper to beat, sliced his shot horribly wide. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to A. Stoica, but the Wyluzowane player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! Ranforest's defence sent a ball soaring up the middle on a beautiful counterattack with 24 minutes gone, but P. Paśnikowski's finish was met by the reaching hands of the keeper. Wyluzowane managed to extend their lead to 2 - 0 when J. Mikłasz cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. 2 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Wyluzowane, with 60 percent of the ball.

Ranforest needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 60 minutes H. Epp made way for L. Lützenwick. P. Paśnikowski was handed the Ranforest captain's armband. With 60 minutes played, Wyluzowane put themselves up 3 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to V. Nesterenko, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. Confident in their lead, Wyluzowane's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Wyluzowane's V. Nesterenko was shown a yellow card after 78 minutes for slicing down an opponent. With 79 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, F. Gmitruk needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. J. Łuszkiewicz stunned the crowd with a brilliant counterattack from the left, giving Ranforest the goal to make it 3 - 1. M. Corbetta was called on to replace Ranforest's O. Hałakuc after 84 minutes following a nasty collision. The visitors replied 88 minutes into the game, reducing the home side's lead to 3 - 2, as J. Łuszkiewicz dashed up the middle, easily lobbing the ball over the home team's keeper. Wyluzowane claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 59 percent.

Most important Wyluzowane player was F. Gmitruk. On the other hand, S. Cielma's play was disheartening. Ranforest's top performer was clearly J. Melski. M. Corbetta on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 2.
