It had rained all day, but 17006 hardy fans still made it out to
City of Igor Stadium.
Robin Ångby was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Antonello Cividino and
Örn Ólafsson.
IGOR-CITY tactics involved an interesting 4-5-1 combination.
Starters: Ysbrandy - Everett, Estorf, Túpac, Erün - Lenarczyk, Maravilha, Bergianti, Wester, Bud - Bellone.
A 5-4-1 alignment was the formation of choice for Ćmachowo.
The following players took the field: Echeverry - Hoesch, Pala, Vlasenko, 源鹏 (Yuanpeng) , Filarowski - Wydrych, Radich, Chomski, Obrist - Campos.
IGOR-CITY used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings.
Ćmachowo decided to play creatively.
With 5 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as
C. Maravilha flipped the ball in after a cross from the right.
The home side's
P. Bellone came close to extending the lead 16 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but
G. Echeverry managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop.
Ćmachowo had a chance to level the score as
H. Radich suddenly found himself free in the middle of the box with only the keeper to beat, but he misjudged the finish, and only managed to hit the bar.
The referee showed IGOR-CITY's
U. Wester the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge.
余. 源鹏 (Yuanpeng) of Ćmachowo had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game.
K. Dubrawski came in to finish the match.
27 minutes were showing on the scoreboard when IGOR-CITY's
U. Wester received his second yellow card and was sent off.
Unfortunately for Ćmachowo,
M. Chomski was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field.
M. Graubacher replaced him.
The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 0.
IGOR-CITY enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 69 percent of possession.
R. Everett's lack of experience almost gave Ćmachowo a goal after 49 minutes, but the shot went right into the keeper's arms.
With 52 minutes played, IGOR-CITY's
W. Lenarczyk almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net.
IGOR-CITY's
C. Túpac saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 67 minutes.
77 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as
W. Lenarczyk broke through, making the score 2 - 0 for IGOR-CITY.
R. Wydrych of Ćmachowo received a yellow card after 79 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour.
IGOR-CITY claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 73 percent.
IGOR-CITY's best player was
C. Maravilha.
C. Bud turned in a dismal performance, however.
Y. Vlasenko performed admirably for Ćmachowo.
On the other hand,
B. Filarowski's play was disheartening.
The match ends 2 - 0.
