Southern 1 - 7 PAMA (392403848)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Klosterwis saw a crowd turnout of 20093. Johnny Torsting was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Valentijn Grotius and Ataliba D'Ávila. A 2-5-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Southern. They fielded: Locusti - Popa, Rumčikas - Pelant, Adler, Langenbach, den Turk, Sarıbay - Verney, Stickling, Duigou.

PAMA tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Starters: Sablić - Radtke, Heilmann, Nazarov - Eckel, Stampfli, Wöhner, Cand, Baurer - Battistelli, Bilyk.

With 11 minutes played, PAMA's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to V. Battistelli he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 0 - 1. Southern's X. Adler made an attempt at equalising 20 minutes into the match, coming in from the right, but the ball hit the post and the defence easily cleared the rebound. The crowd was on its feet 25 minutes into the match, as Southern's J. Stickling found himself unmarked in front of the goal after a dash up the left side. He calmly put away the 1 - 1 equaliser. After 26 minutes, PAMA put themselves up 1 - 2, as U. Stampfli finished off a strike from the left with a real cannonball of a shot. Some fine movement on the left led to a PAMA goal after 38 minutes, making it 1 - 3. V. Battistelli was noted down as the scorer. 1 - 3 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by PAMA, with 58 percent of the ball.

After 48 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave V. Battistelli a chance to increase the lead for PAMA, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 1 - 4. At that, V. Battistelli was noted down for a hat trick! After 75 minutes, PAMA's T. Eckel burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 1 - 5. At this point, it was obvious that the players of PAMA lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. With 85 minutes played, B. Baurer nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. With 86 minutes played, J. Stickling of Southern fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. PAMA's S. Bilyk had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 87 minutes having been played. F. Araye was the replacement. With 88 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed F. Araye of PAMA to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 1 - 6. After 89 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for F. Araye who increased PAMA's lead to 1 - 7. PAMA enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 63 percent of possession.

Southern's best player was A. Sarıbay. N. Locusti on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating PAMA player was without a doubt V. Battistelli. S. Nazarov was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 7.
