FcGiovani1 2 - 3 Juve (389481952)

It had rained all day, but 13610 hardy fans still made it out to Giovani Arena. David Gelimer was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Dori Tal and Juho Riskilä. A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for FcGiovani1. Lineup: Brel - Vangsgaard, Carriazo, Křen, Eriksen - Schmidt, Chiorean, Friberg, Sepstrup - Witt, Lopes Coelho.

Juve tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. They fielded: Haaning - Stjernholm, Elkjær, Tøgersen - Danielsen, Tang, Thorning, Kofoed, Nissen - Elkjær, Jakobs-Kohn.

FcGiovani1 were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. 0 - 1 was the score with 26 minutes played, after M. Kofoed cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for Juve. H. Jakobs-Kohn received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 27 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 2. The Juve fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. Juve's J. Thorning made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 33 minutes into the match. After rounding the keeper, he only had to place the ball in the unguarded goal when a defender slid in and cleared the ball off the line. It was 0 - 2 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Juve, who controlled the ball 64 percent of the time.

H. Jakobs-Kohn had a hard time on the waterlogged pitch - his trademark technique was nowhere in sight today. J. Thorning still has a lot to learn. For instance, he should know not to make half-hearted passes in front of E. Friberg, who easily scored for FcGiovani1, making it 1 - 2. Players in FcGiovani1 heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. Due to some great work on the right wing FcGiovani1's L. Carriazo was able to even the score after 72 minutes to make the score 2 - 2. The visitors could have taken the lead from a free kick after 77 minutes, if it wasn't for the jaw-dropping save by D. Brel. After 79 minutes, Juve's J. Thorning made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 2 - 3. Juve claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 62 percent.

FcGiovani1's top performer was clearly B. Witt. K. Eriksen turned in a dismal performance, however. M. Tang performed admirably for Juve. However, T. Haaning made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 3.
