Koserow 4 - 2 RockyBeach (392815809)

26232 spectators arrived at Mulifunktions Arena "Der Hexenkessel". Stadion in, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Jerry Grimes was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Martin Robinsson and Herman Peper. A 2-5-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Koserow. The following players took the field: Monchique - Gregáč, Kiefner - Mühlroth, Klein, Timman, Maranga, Idalécio - Makshin, Haidinger, Zhileta.

RockyBeach decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Marques - Freiherr zu Inn- und Knyphausen, Wądołkowski, Klostermann - Umpanera, van Adelsbergen, Pfrunder, Cangür, Barzotto - Rantala, Veegens.

O. Idalécio gave Koserow the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0 RockyBeach had a chance to level the score as T. Pfrunder suddenly found himself free in the middle of the box with only the keeper to beat, but he misjudged the finish, and only managed to hit the bar. Given a free kick close to the byline, RockyBeach tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let F. Umpanera slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 1 - 1, 37 minutes into the game. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to Koserow, who controlled the ball 55 percent of the time.

They were singing the praises of R. Zhileta 47 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 2 - 1 to Koserow. RockyBeach's T. Freiherr zu Inn- und Knyphausen placed the ball right at his teammate's feet after a corner, but M. Wądołkowski couldn't finish. After 55 minutes, Koserow 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 R. Zhileta, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 3 - 1. After 60 minutes, RockyBeach switched R. Rantala with N. Alemparte, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. RockyBeach reduced the deficit to 3 - 2 with a penalty placed perfectly beside the left post by T. Pfrunder. It might be a while before the fans see RockyBeach's T. Cangür again, after he had to leave the field in great distress at the 72 minute mark. He was replaced by J. Molina. The visitors kept the pressure on to tie the game when, after 75 minutes, F. Umpanera broke through the centre and found himself alone with the keeper. A. Monchique made a great block, though. With the scoreboard clock showing 80 minutes, the inexperienced Koserow team fell into disarray. Koserow put themselves up 4 - 2 when N. Haidinger broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Koserow, with 53 percent of the ball.

Koserow's top performer was clearly V. Makshin. On the other hand, D. Gregáč's play was disheartening. RockyBeach's best player was F. Veegens. T. Freiherr zu Inn- und Knyphausen turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 4 - 2.
