Ultra 2 - 0 Beki (390270234)

Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 31503 at Gelsenkirchen today. Robert Lyhmo was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Achim Gavrilă and Daniele Rovati. A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Ultra. Starters: van der Weerd - Škifić, Mosebo, Krk, Ermel - van Puffelen, Petersdorf, Chacharpoma, Dil - Gorov, Capossela.

Beki decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. Lineup: van Bracht - Arminius, Krijnen, 嘉安 (Jiaan) , Gjellestad - Ulak, Baardman, Zwaga, Usama - Batzu, Grimón.

23 minutes into the game, Beki seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a excellent level of organisation. The referee showed Ultra's L. Chacharpoma the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. With 35 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, 顾. 嘉安 (Jiaan) needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. Ultra almost scored after a counterattack 39 minutes into the match, but R. Mosebo took a shot from the left that landed harmlessly in the side of the net. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Ultra, with 68 percent of the ball.

The Beki players spent the break getting a rerun of the team's tactical organisation and regained a excellent organisation when the game started again. The referee signaled a penalty for the home side after 59 minutes, amid vocal protests from the visitors. Ultra fans erupted in celebration as R. Mosebo rifled the ball into the the top corner. 1 - 0! A well placed corner kick from R. Mosebo was followed by F. Dil's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for Ultra, the score now 2 - 0. Coming from the right, J. Krk almost managed to score another goal for Ultra, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. S. Škifić of Ultra was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. M. Capossela unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. Beki's L. Arminius was shown a yellow card after 80 minutes for slicing down an opponent. After 82 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Beki found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to excellent. Ultra enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 66 percent of possession.

Ultra's top performer was clearly L. Chacharpoma. M. van Puffelen was a disappointment, however. Beki's best player was P. Grimón. On the other hand, J. van Bracht's play was disheartening. The match ends 2 - 0.
