Welkenraedt 1 - 1 raptorsphinx (388497538)

35257 spectators had come to La Bonbonnière this cloudy day. Noah Gabriel Maus was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jan-Piet Hootsen and Alois Kapkiner. People from all over Liège had joined up for the derby. Welkenraedt started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. Lineup: Scarpette - Nechita, Woidich, Malysh, António - Højer Nielsen, Reunis, Vynckier, Frascella - Dormois, Sabatti.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for raptorsphinx. The following players had been chosen: Ahmed - Puls, Özdemir, Angelelli - Samer, Moy, Heintalu, Doumbia, Arthur - Geladakis, Zucca.

Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Welkenraedt. raptorsphinx used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. Y. Geladakis of raptorsphinx was able to make an impressive rush past the sluggish Y. Malysh, which resulted in a goal making the score 0 - 1. Welkenraedt were awarded a penalty 21 minutes into the game, but L. Woidich didn't make a good job of it and O. Ahmed managed to save. 0 - 1 was the halftime score. raptorsphinx claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 57 percent.

47 minutes in, and Welkenraedt were able to score the equalising goal to make it 1 - 1 when S. Sabatti picked up a pass coming in from the right and chipped it past the away team's keeper. raptorsphinx had to make a substitution after 59 minutes. Y. Geladakis limped off the field and was replaced by L. Plhal. 63 minutes of the match played, and a comedy of errors by the home side gave the visitors a chance at the lead, but O. Arthur, after finding himself dashing down on goal from the left with only the keeper to beat, sliced his shot horribly wide. It was obvious that team raptorsphinx had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings. raptorsphinx enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 60 percent of possession.

The most dominating Welkenraedt player was without a doubt S. Sabatti. R. António on the other hand, had a terrible day. raptorsphinx's top performer was clearly F. Moy. On the other hand, R. Zucca's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 1.
