Foxies 9 - 1 Afellay (387576250)

The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 36092 had shown up at Hundehütte for the match. Gilarranz Torres was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Angelomaria Lodolini and Knudt Herrler. Foxies tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. They fielded: MacHendrie - Bjerkelund, Sáiz Pérez, Krężelewski - Costa Lobo, Mitrovic, Kellner, Brückl, Jahn - Deutsch, Buchheit.

Afellay had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Bär - Just, Zeilinger, Habsburg, Bralić - Fritsch, Reisner, Freund, Fleischer - Gärtner, Kummer.

M. Kellner caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 10 minutes. This gave Foxies the 1 - 0 lead. After 17 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and H. Jahn gave the Foxies supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 2 - 0. Afellay's A. Fritsch got himself booked for a foul. In a fantastic display of determination, Foxies's Z. Krężelewski forced himself to his feet, after an opponent viciously knocked him down. 29 minutes into the game, Foxies were awarded a penalty that H. Jahn turned into 3 - 0 without a problem. A well placed corner kick from M. Just was followed by T. Kummer's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for Afellay, the score now 3 - 1. Foxies put in a good effort on the right, but F. Buchheit saw his volley fly wide of the mark 32 minutes into the game. With 37 minutes played, Foxies put themselves up 4 - 1 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to F. Buchheit, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. Foxies solidified their lead at the 38 minute mark, as F. Buchheit dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 5 - 1. It was 5 - 1 at the break. Foxies enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 92 percent of possession.

Foxies put themselves up 6 - 1 when F. Brückl broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. The players of Foxies now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. Cheers filled the stadium as M. Sáiz Pérez broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 7 - 1 to Foxies. Foxies's M. Sáiz Pérez increased the lead to 8 - 1, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 49 minutes. The referee showed Foxies's Z. Krężelewski the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. After 57 minutes, Z. Krężelewski put Foxies ahead 9 - 1 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. Foxies claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 94 percent.

K. Deutsch performed admirably for Foxies. However, H. Jahn made a disastrous appearance. Most important Afellay player was A. Fritsch. On the other hand, U. Bär's play was disheartening. The match ends 9 - 1.
