UFC 2 - 0 Lugar (392950826)

3703 spectators had come to Eichenlaub Arena this cloudy day. Gérard van den Bos was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Pierluigi Armellin and Tsafrir Azulay. UFC decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Osolo - Fiala, Caboni, Schreyer - Lenz, Kersten, Rettenbacher, Günes, Knickl - Kuřátko, Popan.

Lugar had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Torrado - Castillejo, Pacheco, Márquez, González - Salvat, Solar, Picaza, Galván - Hedskog, Flament.

M. Flament looked like he could fly, as he rose high to head the ball. Unfortunately for Lugar, the ball went just barely wide. F. Günes dispatched a majestic long shot 18 minutes into the match, but missed the goal by a few metres. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, M. Popan got himself booked. The manager of UFC was not happy. S. Galván had a good opportunity to give Lugar the lead as he charged down the right and struck the ball towards the top corner, but the home team's goalkeeper made the save. The corner kick from M. Popan was powerfully met by the head of P. Knickl to make the score 1 - 0. After 36 minutes, L. Caboni put UFC ahead 2 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. Confident in their lead, UFC's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. 37 minutes in, Lugar's B. Salvat received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. 38 minutes into the game, Lugar had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to passable. It was 2 - 0 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to UFC, who controlled the ball 59 percent of the time.

The coach gave his players an extra tactical briefing during the break, and after that Lugar had solid organisation. UFC's M. Popan saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 49 minutes. Lugar's right side looked dangerous after 60 minutes, as S. Galván broke through. A. Osolo continued to stifle them, however, as he made the save look easy. The referee showed UFC's P. Schreyer the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. UFC enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 59 percent of possession.

Most important UFC player was M. Popan. P. Schreyer turned in a dismal performance, however. Lugar's top performer was clearly E. Márquez. R. Torrado on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 0.
