Donburi 7 - 1 Leipzig (392742216)

Dark skies made the crowd of 1056 at Minamoto a little nervous, but the rain held off. Ulf Grenbratt was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Fane Panaitescu and Jaakko Repo. A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Donburi. The following players took the field: Voicu - Picón, Dalla Palma, Bakır - Boagiu, Beurs, Faccenda, Katte - Sall, Goggin, Cirone.

Leipzig had chosen a strategic 2-4-3 formation. They fielded: Seruis - Bölsterli, Krüger - Hagebeek, Artakis, Rizzo, Eregui - Snouck, Bratanov, Mariátegui.

After 10 minutes, M. Cirone came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 1 - 0, giving Donburi the lead. 12 minutes into the game, Leipzig had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to passable. The visitors kept the pressure on to tie the game when, after 20 minutes, J. Mariátegui broke through the centre and found himself alone with the keeper. C. Voicu made a great block, though. D. Sall increased the lead for Donburi to 2 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! Donburi's G. Dalla Palma increased the lead to 3 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 32 minutes. Leipzig reduced the lead after 33 minutes to 3 - 1 as Z. Artakis easily chipped the ball past the home side's keeper after a dazzling play from the right. 41 minutes into the game, Leipzig seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to weak. 3 - 1 was the score after the first half. Donburi had most of the ball, with 53 percent of possession.

During the break, Leipzig's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to solid organisation. The coach of Donburi was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, L. Göttling came on for M. Katte. L. Faccenda left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 46 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. D. Bozhilov was the replacement. After 54 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and D. Sall gave the Donburi supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 4 - 1. The players of Donburi now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. 66 minutes into the game, Leipzig seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a inadequate level of organisation. After 75 minutes, D. Boagiu put Donburi ahead 5 - 1 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. 80 minutes in, Leipzig appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only wretched. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Donburi to 6 - 1 as G. Dalla Palma finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Donburi scored another to make it 7 - 1 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for D. Sall after 88 minutes. At that, D. Sall was noted down for a hat trick! E. Picón of Donburi received a yellow card after 89 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Possession in this half belonged to Donburi, who controlled the ball 61 percent of the time.

Most important Donburi player was C. Voicu. On the other hand, D. Bozhilov's play was disheartening. The most dominating Leipzig player was without a doubt M. Bölsterli. However, M. Krüger made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 7 - 1.
