Nazdrovia 0 - 5 Bladella (390481447)

A scorching day at Nazdrovia Arena, where 8211 spectators were in place for today's match. Ariel Bitel was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Nicolás Olivera and Ştefan Copoeru. People from all over Amsterdam had joined up for the derby. Nazdrovia started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. Lineup: Gilsing - Sonneveld, Bakhuis, Vanenburg, Nooteboom - Vanenburg, van Heusden, Koolmoes, Wiegersma - Kunstenaar, Nieuwenweg.

Bladella tactics involved an interesting 5-3-2 combination. They fielded: Harmanen - van Kan, Herrero, Koster, Grabkowski, Lustig - Andersen, Belich, Calboni - Castelli, Marchand.

Bladella used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. After 2 minutes, Bladella's L. Castelli made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for Bladella, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. After 15 minutes, Bladella's M. Grabkowski burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. Nazdrovia's D. Vanenburg had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 24 minutes having been played. T. Coenen was the replacement. After the ball was lifted in from the left, O. Andersen was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 28 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. 0 - 2 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Bladella, with 73 percent of the ball.

Bladella came close to extending their lead as A. Calboni delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 61 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave M. Grabkowski from Bladella a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 68 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! 73 minutes into the game, I. Belich had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came I. Philbert. It was obvious that team Bladella had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings. O. Andersen received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 79 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 3. The Bladella fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. A. Calboni didn't pace himself at all, and after a series of daring offensive runs he was too tired to help out in the defensive play. After 85 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for O. Andersen who increased Bladella's lead to 0 - 4. The visitors' L. Castelli took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 87 minutes into the match. 0 - 5 for Bladella. Confident in their lead, Bladella's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Bladella enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 77 percent of possession.

Most important Nazdrovia player was W. Wiegersma. However, J. Gilsing made a disastrous appearance. H. Lustig performed admirably for Bladella. O. Andersen turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 5.
