Heidengarten 4 - 2 Grashüpfer (392631943)

43331 spectators arrived at Heidengarten Arena, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Finn Spottag was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Valerio Panaccio and Nir Gamliel. Heidengarten decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Garbarino - Buster, Occhipinti, Waldshut - Major, Ulrich, 淮庭 (Huaiting), Amann, Leynen - Siwy, Vera.

Grashüpfer started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Starters: Tienforti - Vial, Jianu, Buniyatov - Al-Sharif, Cannizzaro, Cañette, Tiesies, Taschler - Knegtering, Rigucci.

Heidengarten seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. The terraces were silenced after 2 minutes when Grashüpfer's A. Vial put the guests ahead 0 - 1, following an attack on the right. A drive down the left side allowed M. Buniyatov to get in close and score another goal for Grashüpfer after 4 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 2. With 13 minutes played, A. Al-Sharif 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. After 28 minutes of game time, G. Cannizzaro had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but M. Garbarino was in the right place and tipped the ball over for a corner. Heidengarten's 汤. 淮庭 (Huaiting) cut towards the middle after 31 minutes, receiving a brilliant pass and slicing through the visiting team's central defence, reducing the lead to 1 - 2. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave S. Taschler from Grashüpfer a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 34 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 2. Possession in this half belonged to Grashüpfer, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

The bench was restless, and with 46 minutes passed Heidengarten's coach gave M. Fett the opportunity the player had been hoping for. F. Occhipinti reluctantly left the field. E. Major became the new Heidengarten captain. 52 minutes into the game, L. Waldshut had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came Z. Fundak. M. Buniyatov neatly controlled the ball after a short corner, and knocked it on to P. Rigucci who had the whole net open before him, but only managed to hit the post. R. Knegtering could have put his team up another goal 75 minutes into the game, after a rush down the left, but his closing shot hit the post. R. Leynen's early cross saw the defenders caught out of position and the alert L. Vera was able to pounce and roll the ball past the hapless goalkeeper to score for Heidengarten. 2 - 2. Heidengarten took the lead 85 minutes into the game by 3 - 2, as L. Vera elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. Grashüpfer's A. Cañette had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 86 minutes having been played. Z. Wędzicha was the replacement. Heidengarten were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. P. Amann squirmed through their central defence after 87 minutes, increasing the lead to 4 - 2. Confident in their lead, Heidengarten's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Grashüpfer had most of the ball, with 53 percent of possession.

Heidengarten's top performer was clearly L. Vera. Z. Fundak was a disappointment, however. Most important Grashüpfer player was R. Knegtering. However, E. Jianu made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 2.
