previous 4/4 next 2/4  TOPAC 4 - 0 Sebat (388936681)

22500 spectators had come to TRAKYA ARENA this cloudy day. Gino Caldara was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Goran Bursać and Aigar Ruut. A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for TOPAC. The following players took the field: Apolinário - Caria, Suo-Heikki, Cagnon - Ybarra Berge, Kazimierczak, Erhan, Lempeä - Garrido Leite, Talavera, Salman.

Sebat decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. Starters: Zečević - Afşin, Mayer, Pakkan, Vantomme - La Porta Garcia, Semukov, Gustavsson, Granges - St Pier, Bezza.

TOPAC saw most attack opportunities on the wings. The wings were the focus of most of Sebat's attacks today. TOPAC fans held their breath as S. Lempeä scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 1 - 0! With 20 minutes played, TOPAC put themselves up 2 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to I. Ybarra Berge, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. After 21 minutes, P. Garrido Leite put TOPAC ahead 3 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. By now, the players in TOPAC felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. TOPAC's S. Lempeä swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to TOPAC, who controlled the ball 66 percent of the time.

Attacking on the wings was the choice for TOPAC, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. The home side's E. Erhan came close to extending the lead 56 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but S. Zečević managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. Z. Kazimierczak unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. TOPAC had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of TOPAC to 4 - 0 as R. Cagnon finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. The visitors got a chance to pulling one back after 83 minutes, due to a defensive blunder leaving A. Vantomme completely unmarked. His strike was pathetic though, easy prey for the home side's keeper. TOPAC claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 60 percent.

TOPAC's best player was S. Lempeä. However, F. Talavera made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Sebat player was without a doubt N. St Pier. S. Zečević on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 4 - 0.
