United 6 - 0 ubesejret (389463745)

18753 fans braved the pouring rain at Den grimme Arena. Ed Landuyt was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Sapian bin Mahamad and Sammy Sjöskog. United tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Miller - Wegener, Istrate, Rohde-Larsen - Văn Suôl, Fejkiel, Cavazza, Batlle, Birkemose - Kokić, Cederbrant.

ubesejret decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Thorhauge - Schrøder, Moseholt, Berntsen, Norre - Jørgensen, Hoffmann, Bay, Eg - Hansen, Anh Thoại.

United immediately set off using their skill at pressing their opponents. M. Hansen spent most of the time in a heap on the ground today, his normally rapid movement hindered by the slippery pitch. The United free kick 9 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of G. Kokić, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 1 - 0! The rain made it hard for players like K. Hoffmann to show their technical control of the ball on this soggy day. With 31 minutes played, United put themselves up 2 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to L. Văn Suôl, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. After this, you could see that the players of United were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. ubesejret's opponents know to be wary of M. Hansen's speed, but it made little difference as he flew past the defence 32 minutes into the game. Only the keeper could stop him - and he did with a perfectly timed dive! After 33 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by P. Fejkiel might have resulted in another goal for United. However, I. Thorhauge made a spectacular save. After 40 minutes, United sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached I. Rohde-Larsen, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 3 - 0. Halftime score was 3 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to United, who controlled the ball 73 percent of the time.

G. Cavazza had a fantastic opportunity to put United up another goal 55 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. The score became 4 - 0 at 68 minutes into the game, when United were given a penalty which G. Cavazza blasted straight down the middle giving the keeper no chance! Cheers filled the stadium as M. Batlle broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 5 - 0 to United. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in United's L. Văn Suôl increasing the lead to 6 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by United, with 77 percent of the ball.

G. Cavazza performed admirably for United. D. Miller was a disappointment, however. ubesejret's top performer was clearly E. Jørgensen. I. Thorhauge on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 6 - 0.
