previous 4/10 next 6/10  WFC 1 - 0 lancelots (390203672)

53785 spectators had come to WAY STADIUM this cloudy day. Björn Planje was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Thibault Duverneuil and Wilfried Wigand-Lewejohann. The derby had been the talk of Alger all week and fans of both teams could be seen throughout the stadium. WFC tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Hamvai - Commini, Diaconescu, Peche - Paulo, Vasiljević, Harkat, Haddouche, Pausé - Sosa, Alzamendi.

lancelots had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Corb - Zver, Megidish, Casanell - Benaida, Cursaru, Grifoni, Sades, Tchekiken - Châtelet, Louzano.

WFC were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. lancelots seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. D. Tchekiken tried using a burst of speed to get past his defender after 17 minutes, but it takes more than that to get past fast N. Commini. A questionable penalty 19 minutes in gave the home side the lead, 1 - 0. The visitors' goalie didn't stand a chance as N. Paulo knocked the ball home. The visitors kept the pressure on to tie the game when, after 29 minutes, R. Grifoni broke through the centre and found himself alone with the keeper. A. Hamvai made a great block, though. lancelots had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. Coming through the middle R. Grifoni almost scored the equaliser for lancelots after 33 minutes, but A. Hamvai made an excellent save, tipping the awkwardly curled shot past the post. With 35 minutes played, WFC's I. Diaconescu almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. Halftime score was 1 - 0. lancelots had most of the ball, with 58 percent of possession.

With 46 minutes played, the lancelots coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. K. Schietecatte came on, R. Sades had to leave the fray. H. Louzano was handed the lancelots captain's armband. The visitors almost came back with an equaliser 62 minutes into the match after a good combination down the middle, but when F. Casanell tried to finish the attack, he couldn't deliver the shot hard enough to seriously challenge the keeper. lancelots had a chance to level the score as A. Zver suddenly found himself free in the middle of the box with only the keeper to beat, but he misjudged the finish, and only managed to hit the bar. Possession in this half belonged to lancelots, who controlled the ball 59 percent of the time.

WFC's best player was A. Hamvai. However, F. Vasiljević made a disastrous appearance. Most important lancelots player was A. Cursaru. D. Tchekiken on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 0.
