BAYERN 1 - 5 Winners (392328475)

25218 spectators had found their way to ALLIANZ ARENA, despite the heavy rain. Audronis Abeciūnas was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Sverre Hillestad and Carl Christian Poulsen. BAYERN had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. Starters: Diersfart - Greiz, Beeker, Kanitz, Quiñones - Rosstein, Lecueder, Tanquía, Pappariello - Koch-Erpach, Serban.

Winners tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. Lineup: Cerchiari - Sunay, Edrevski, Schöpf, Schneiderman - Meibom, Liebers, 育达 (Yuda), Nunes Soares - Mandel, Savić.

BAYERN immediately set off using their skill at pressing their opponents. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, R. Rosstein got himself booked. The manager of BAYERN was not happy. U. Diersfart looked great 19 minutes into the match after stopping a shot from the middle of the penalty area from the visitors' 葛. 育达 (Yuda). Winners were great at switching from defence to attack, and after 22 minutes, M. Savić swept through the middle on a counterattack, making the score 0 - 1. N. Mandel of Winners took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 29 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 2. Y. Schneiderman was uncomfortable with the soggy pitch as he couldn't move the ball around with his usual grace. BAYERN pressed their opponents, causing the game to be a bit of a stalemate at times. After 33 minutes, Winners sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached N. Meibom, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 0 - 3. 0 - 3 was the halftime score. Winners had most of the ball, with 58 percent of possession.

After 52 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for N. Mandel who increased Winners's lead to 0 - 4. BAYERN's S. Quiñones got the home crowd going when he finished off a left wing charge, reducing the away team's lead to 1 - 4. The referee showed Winners's N. Mandel the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Winners's N. Meibom was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 75 minutes. At this time in the match, BAYERN were using their skill at pressing to successfully stifle the game. The home crowd was not impressed when J. Nunes Soares came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 85 minutes. Winners were now up 1 - 5. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Winners, with 61 percent of the ball.

Most important BAYERN player was D. Lecueder. R. Rosstein was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Winners player was without a doubt M. Savić. F. Cerchiari turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 5.
