Arbeitslos 0 - 3 Reckenfeld (392319721)

It had rained all day, but 22882 hardy fans still made it out to ArbeitsAmtArena. Mats Klinthall was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Hadrian Ledl and Guido Meißner. Arbeitslos tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Betoret - De Keukeleire, González-Cavada, Woschitz - Bourne, Kopyt, Semmrich, Hofmeijer, Bolog - Dube, Calella.

A 4-5-1 alignment was the formation of choice for Reckenfeld. Starters: Berendique - Bonello, Gesmundo, Beierle, Tafa - Burns, Sperling, Lieckfeld, Merle, Carmelo - Harja.

Arbeitslos used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. R. Sperling spent most of the time in a heap on the ground today, his normally rapid movement hindered by the slippery pitch. Reckenfeld took the lead after 4 minutes making the score 0 - 1. A. Harja placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. Arbeitslos's E. Calella almost tied things up with 29 minutes played after breaking through on the right, but his shot deflected off the post. Reckenfeld showed their counterattack skill 30 minutes into the match by breaking through the middle, with G. Carmelo scoring uncontested for 0 - 2. It was 0 - 2 at the break. Reckenfeld claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 53 percent.

Arbeitslos's E. Calella was shown a yellow card after 67 minutes for slicing down an opponent. As the game started to slip away for Arbeitslos, the manager decided to change the tactical approach. Unhappy with the result so far in the game, the Arbeitslos manager used a brief break in play after 70 minutes to give the players new directives. G. Carmelo wanted to play on, but the Reckenfeld coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 75 minutes into the game by T. Rønningen. Reckenfeld increased their lead after 79 minutes when R. Sperling broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 3, much to the home crowd's dismay. 84 minutes into the game, A. Kopyt had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came G. Seerosen. Arbeitslos were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. Reckenfeld had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

A. Hofmeijer performed admirably for Arbeitslos. However, H. Semmrich made a disastrous appearance. Most important Reckenfeld player was R. Sperling. T. Rønningen was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 3.
