rottweilers 3 - 1 Vooruit (390349913)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and rottweilers Arena saw a crowd turnout of 20000. Daniel Dénervaud was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Martin Andreasson and Jonathan Masters. rottweilers had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. Lineup: Piazzese - Escales, Porquet, Narojczyk - Évain, Gangemi, Ranger, Vahedian - van Diepen, Caelders, Bruhn.

Vooruit tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players took the field: Molenaar - Kaltwasser, Papoulidis, Mullin - Papură, Krambeck, Clement, Schweim, Maoret - Butnoris, Reidhart.

rottweilers tried to focus their attacks down the middle. After 3 minutes, S. Porquet came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 1 - 0, giving rottweilers the lead. After 34 minutes, D. Mullin sent the corner kick right to L. Butnoris who headed it sharply past the keeper. 1 - 1! It was obvious that team rottweilers had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings. rottweilers's N. Bruhn tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. rottweilers had a good opportunity to take the lead as N. Caelders came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of T. Molenaar. After 40 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as rottweilers found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to inadequate. Many thought N. Bruhn ought to have been awarded a penalty 41 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around T. Molenaar after a determined run through the middle. rottweilers had a chance to take the lead after B. van Diepen's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 44 minutes. 1 - 1 was the score after the first half. Vooruit had most of the ball, with 51 percent of possession.

The coach gave his players an extra tactical briefing during the break, and after that rottweilers had solid organisation. As the 46 minute mark approached, the rottweilers coach decided it was time for a substitution. N. Caelders reluctantly made way for B. Fjälling on the pitch. R. Krambeck behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 59 minutes as he gave the ball away to A. Gangemi. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to Ł. Narojczyk, but the rottweilers player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 2 - 1! 76 minutes in, rottweilers appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only weak. rottweilers solidified their lead at the 79 minute mark, as A. Évain dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 3 - 1. There was concern in the stands when, at the 80 minute mark, Vooruit's I. Papoulidis hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. Vooruit certainly deserved a goal after some stunning play down the left, but N. Papură just wasn't able to finish. The crowd roared its approval when F. Piazzese somehow managed to block a shot which seemed to be a certain goal by Vooruit's L. Butnoris 85 minutes into the game. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Vooruit, with 54 percent of the ball.

rottweilers's top performer was clearly N. Bruhn. A. Évain on the other hand, had a terrible day. Vooruit's best player was T. Molenaar. On the other hand, R. Krambeck's play was disheartening. The match ends 3 - 1.
