ARMANI 7 - 0 @VVJ (390256231)

42552 spectators had come to Armani Imperium this cloudy day. Guschti Cohn was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Reinhard Fischbacher and Ghindã-Nicolae Lung. ARMANI tactics involved an interesting 4-5-1 combination. The following players took the field: Mincă - Laios, Lot, Buys, Mela - Driesse, Emich, Visbeen, Kransse, Slits - Schermers.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for @VVJ. The following players had been chosen: Tieman - Boelen, Droge, Seymenli, Vliegenthart - Heijn, Hodzelmans, Zeijlemaker, Dietvorst - den Besten, Kantelberg.

The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to M. Visbeen, but the ARMANI player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! R. Buys increased ARMANI's lead to 2 - 0 with a penalty spot cannonball. ARMANI put themselves up 3 - 0 when C. Schermers broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. Confident in their lead, ARMANI's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. 24 minutes into the game, @VVJ seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to passable. After 25 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as @VVJ found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to inadequate. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in ARMANI's M. Visbeen increasing the lead to 4 - 0. 29 minutes into the game, @VVJ had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to poor. Halftime score was 4 - 0. ARMANI enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 92 percent of possession.

The @VVJ players spent the break getting a rerun of the team's tactical organisation and regained a passable organisation when the game started again. R. Buys's curling free kick almost found the goal for ARMANI, but the visitors' keeper somehow managed to get ahold of it. After 54 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by C. Schermers might have resulted in another goal for ARMANI. However, J. Tieman made a spectacular save. Things were deteriorating for the away team as ARMANI scored another to make it 5 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for G. Slits after 73 minutes. @VVJ's D. Kantelberg was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 80 minutes. 82 minutes in, @VVJ appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only weak. ARMANI increased the lead as R. Buys struck to make the score 6 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. R. Emich increased the lead for ARMANI to 7 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! D. Mela could have increased the lead after 87 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. 88 minutes in, ARMANI's R. Emich received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Possession in this half belonged to ARMANI, who controlled the ball 93 percent of the time.

C. Schermers performed admirably for ARMANI. S. Laios was a disappointment, however. @VVJ's best player was H. Droge. On the other hand, J. Tieman's play was disheartening. The match ends 7 - 0.
