Mads 4 - 0 Hjertmann (389531092)

The 12000 spectators at FC Mads Arena were in for an afternoon of sunshine. Wibo Vlamynck was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Kjetil Roald and Volkan Hasene. Everyone was excited about the upcoming Århus derby and the crowd was divided evenly. Mads tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. They fielded: Schmeichel - Loebbeke, Smidt, Appel, Doneus - Pejtersen, Slotø, Eg, Riber - Halskov, Kirkeby.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Hjertmann. The following players took the field: Sandfeld - Tofte, Willatzen, Dissing, Serup - Hoffmann, Hasselriis, Holm, Antonsen - Kongaa, Schneider.

Mads took the lead after 17 minutes as a result of R. Eg's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0. With 20 minutes played, T. Hasselriis of Hjertmann fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. Mads's A. Loebbeke's long shot really ought to have found the net 24 minutes into the match, but it fell just wide of the target. Mads's N. Smidt saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 26 minutes. It was 1 - 0 at the break. Mads had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

One of many good crosses from J. Pejtersen on the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by H. Riber, who scored for Mads. 2 - 0 The players of Mads now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. After 76 minutes, P. Hoffmann sprinted between the opposing defenders and squared the ball, but the keeper deflected A. Schneider's shot. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Mads to 3 - 0 as R. Slotø finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. With 85 minutes played, Mads put themselves up 4 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to R. Slotø, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. A. Loebbeke unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. Mads enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 51 percent of possession.

Mads's best player was H. Doneus. On the other hand, B. Appel's play was disheartening. Most important Hjertmann player was W. Kongaa. T. Hasselriis was a disappointment, however. The match ends 4 - 0.
