THC 1 - 4 FcNeo (392404884)

31589 spectators had come to Jedi Mind Arena this cloudy day. Matias Metsävainio was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Adriano Arnao and Marcel Bodien. A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for THC. They fielded: Winhard - Fehamet, Eriksson, Masó, Pastoris - Mink, Sedran, Saka, Ochoa - Dardel, Ganser.

FcNeo decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. The following players had been chosen: Polyanskiy - Le Jeune, Herzell, Visnes - Loeser, Mörfelden, Quim Xuim, Schömann - Sanigórski, Thiesen, Pilaszek.

A. Visnes delivered a good free kick from an excellent position 18 minutes into the game, but luck wasn't on FcNeo's side this time and the ball went wide. After 21 minutes, FcNeo's B. Sanigórski made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. K. Loeser was, after 24 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper M. Winhard made the save. 26 minutes in, THC's T. Ganser received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by FcNeo, with 64 percent of the ball.

A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from S. Le Jeune after 52 minutes, and prevented FcNeo from going up another goal. With 53 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of THC resulted in a counterattack that set M. Ochoa free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save. After 56 minutes FcNeo's A. Visnes contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. With 58 minutes played, FcNeo's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to J. Pilaszek he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 0 - 2. G. Schömann's speed was almost enough to give FcNeo a goal after 68 minutes, but his nice pass to J. Pilaszek was not taken care of properly. Had it not been for one of the home defenders, J. Pilaszek would have put FcNeo up another goal 72 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. G. Schömann's speed is always a threat when he gets a little room to move, and 76 minutes into the match was no different as he broke free of his man to send a delightful through ball to B. Sanigórski who knocked it in for FcNeo. 0 - 3! W. Dardel showed why he is feared on the counterattack, breaking through in the middle and scoring for THC after 79 minutes to make the score 1 - 3. After 80 minutes, FcNeo's A. Visnes burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 1 - 4. After this, you could see that the players of FcNeo were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Possession in this half belonged to FcNeo, who controlled the ball 64 percent of the time.

Most important THC player was T. Ganser. D. Masó on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating FcNeo player was without a doubt G. Schömann. However, A. Polyanskiy made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 4.
