11088 spectators had come to
Adidas Park this cloudy day.
Tomislav Vidov was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Giovanni Casaburo and
André Hubert.
Tomaszów decided to use a 3-5-2 set up.
Lineup: Burandt - Kyhlwald, Lex, Kiriakidis - Jedersberger, Szafrański, Jujang, Kuklicz, Persson - Bąkowicz, Dudzik.
Generator had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation.
The following players had been chosen: Tullund - Pérez, Bartkowski, Moelants, Trifonov - Santos, Drożyński, Baiker, Wiciński - Smyczyński, Bachofen.
It was an obvious ambition of Tomaszów to use their ability at attacking on the flanks.
Generator were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks.
H. Jedersberger seems to have an uncanny ability to try the unusual. He nearly produced a great goal - unfortunately for Tomaszów his shot went just wide this time.
Attacking on the wings was the choice for Tomaszów, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack.
15 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for Tomaszów was
P. Kuklicz.
M. Bąkowicz increased Tomaszów's lead to 2 - 0 with a penalty spot cannonball.
The home side's
P. Jujang came close to extending the lead 27 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but
M. Tullund managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop.
Generator's
C. Moelants showed off his trademark ability to do the unexpected with a tricky pass after 28 minutes. Unfortunately,
M. Wiciński was startled by the play and wasn't able to control the finish.
After 30 minutes,
M. Bąkowicz sent the corner kick right to
P. Jujang who headed it sharply past the keeper. 3 - 0!
It was obvious that Tomaszów had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle.
With 31 minutes played,
S. Szafrański could have brought this one home for Tomaszów as he charged up on the left, but his hooked ball went just a bit too high.
It was 3 - 0 at the break.
Tomaszów claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 69 percent.
Content with how the game was proceeding, the Tomaszów coach let
J. Bereś replace
P. Jujang after 46 minutes.
After 60 minutes Generator's
K. Drożyński limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue.
Tomaszów's
M. Bąkowicz struck his penalty well enough to beat the goalkeeper and extend the home team's lead to 4 - 0 after 61 minutes.
At this point, it was obvious that the players of Tomaszów lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented.
The coach of Tomaszów was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 65 minutes,
K. Gołkowski came on for
H. Jedersberger.
H. Kyhlwald really should have scored when he was chosen by fate to confront a wide open goal following a great play by
K. Gołkowski after a corner.
70 minutes into the game,
C. Lex had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came
A. Tatarek.
Tomaszów had most of the ball, with 63 percent of possession.
Tomaszów's top performer was clearly
P. Kuklicz.
However,
T. Burandt made a disastrous appearance.
Most important Generator player was
S. Smyczyński.
On the other hand,
B. Bachofen's play was disheartening.
The match ends 4 - 0.
