TEMPEL 2 - 3 Vestigum (388123601)

A scorching day at TEMPEL Arena, where 16243 spectators were in place for today's match. Max was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Bernard Klepp and Angel Giménez. TEMPEL tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players took the field: Risdahl - Hellkvist, Cavaliere, Eitdorf - Molner, Mikac, Noculak, Cytowicz, Jadidi - Christiansson, Douglas.

Vestigum started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Lineup: Barkowski - Tupec, Zanze, Girón Pérez - Zawisło, Cambra, Holsbrink, Çıracı, Aguiar Vale - Carmona, La Motte.

3 minutes in, TEMPEL's D. Cavaliere received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. After 19 minutes a very unfortunate collision in the penalty area led to TEMPEL's L. Cytowicz being carried off the pitch and replaced by J. van Haarlem. TEMPEL had a good opportunity to take the lead as W. Noculak came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of Z. Barkowski. When D. Cavaliere made yet another studs-first tackle after 34 minutes, the referee was obliged to book the TEMPEL player for the second time, sending him off the pitch. One of many good crosses from P. Molner on the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by A. Christiansson, who scored for TEMPEL. 1 - 0 TEMPEL's C. Douglas saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 36 minutes. The crowd was silenced 38 minutes into the match as the visiting team's A. Çıracı came in from the left, levelling the score to 1 - 1. Making his way up the middle 39 minutes into the match, A. Christiansson almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert Z. Barkowski blocked it to keep the score level. Halftime score was 1 - 1. Vestigum had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of Vestigum's A. Çıracı after 60 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 1 - 2 lead. TEMPEL's O. Hellkvist got himself booked for a foul. After a fatal mistake from the away team's right side defence 67 minutes into the match, an alert A. Christiansson bagged the ball for TEMPEL, levelling the score to 2 - 2. V. Holsbrink would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. B. Norddahl entered the game for Vestigum as the match clock showed 70 minutes. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave Š. Mikac from TEMPEL a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 74 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! 75 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Vestigum substitution. C. das Neves came on for O. Aguiar Vale. A late sliding challenge from Š. Mikac was deemed to be his second yellow card offence by the referee, resulting in him being sent off, and TEMPEL left a man down. A loud groan was heard from the fans of Vestigum, as R. Tupec left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. D. Borisavljević took his place on the field. Vestigum took the lead after 84 minutes making the score 2 - 3. A. Carmona placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. Vestigum's C. Girón Pérez was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 86 minutes. TEMPEL's O. Hellkvist left the field after 87 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was J. Riquelme. Vestigum enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 63 percent of possession.

Most important TEMPEL player was A. Christiansson. On the other hand, C. Douglas's play was disheartening. Vestigum's best player was L. Cambra. However, C. das Neves made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 3.
