Havana 0 - 6 Lords (389413824)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Teutoburgerskoven saw a crowd turnout of 24183. Francesc Miralles was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Alberto Arrieta and Asko Lauta. Havana had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. They fielded: Volden - Bardeleben, Joa, Sigmund - van der Hoek, Klougart, Anokić, Bennetzen - Hundebøll, Ortega Aguilar, Rossi.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Lords. Lineup: Lisanti - Asensio, Zandberg, Daire - Rigó, Petit, Dalsgaard, Svoldgaard, Bosc - Mikkelsen, Lebiedziński.

After 25 minutes, a penalty kick by S. Daire could have resulted in the lead for the visitors, but the keeper made the save. Havana had no available replacements when M. van der Hoek had to leave the game after 30 minutes because of a pulled tendon, leaving the team a man short. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 31 minutes, Lords did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, A. Lebiedziński was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 0 - 1. When T. Volden left the game because of a back injury after 33 minutes, Havana had to continue a man short due to there being no available replacements. I. Ortega Aguilar rose to the challenge and took position between the goal posts. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Lords, with 57 percent of the ball.

The referee signalled a penalty 74 minutes into the game following an offence which looked like it was outside the box. S. Daire knocked it home to make the score 0 - 2. Lords's Å. Mikkelsen was shown a yellow card after 75 minutes for slicing down an opponent. A drive down the left side allowed Å. Mikkelsen to get in close and score another goal for Lords after 76 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 3. By now, the players in Lords felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. With 78 minutes of the game having been played, A. Bardeleben received a blow to the hip in a collision and was unable to continue. Havana, with no available replacements, now faced the prospect of finishing the game with a reduced number of players. Unfortunately for Havana, J. Joa suffered a concussion after 81 minutes and had to be taken for tests. The coach had his head in his hands after realising he could not send a replacement onto the pitch, and the team had to continue a man short. 83 minutes into the game, Havana had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to inadequate. The visitors' Å. Mikkelsen took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 84 minutes into the match. 0 - 4 for Lords. Å. Mikkelsen received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 85 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 5. The Lords fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. At that, Å. Mikkelsen was noted down for a hat trick! After 87 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave Å. Mikkelsen a chance to increase the lead for Lords, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 6. Lords's C. Bosc got himself booked for a foul. Lords claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 66 percent.

Havana's top performer was clearly U. Klougart. On the other hand, I. Ortega Aguilar's play was disheartening. Å. Mikkelsen performed admirably for Lords. A. Lebiedziński was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 6.
