Preciosa 1 - 1 Panormus (392988181)

It had rained all day, but 1873 hardy fans still made it out to Stadion an der Bauerbank. Steven Iacona was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Freek Siewerts and Simon Hawranek. Preciosa had chosen a strategic 5-4-1 formation. The following players had been chosen: Frieden - Schönleiter, Haedrich, Fehrenbach, Lethmair, Kramm - Rigamonti, Cunha, Vaits, Bley - Rehdanz.

Panormus started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Starters: Perusovic - Basterra, Leonidov, Agabiti - Iannicelli, Nicolazzi, Cavani, Budberg, Franzosi - Olsen, 综智 (Zongzhi).

The referee showed Preciosa's F. Cunha the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. G. Franzosi of Panormus had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. M. Zabuski came in to finish the match. The visiting M. Zabuski was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 21 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. Preciosa put pressure on the visitors' central defence 22 minutes into the game, but T. Lethmair couldn't find an opening. 0 - 1 was the halftime score. Preciosa enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 57 percent of possession.

With 46 minutes played, the Preciosa coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. M. Alpen came on, J. Fehrenbach had to leave the fray. A handball in the penalty area gave the home team a penalty 48 minutes into the match, and T. Lethmair was able to score, taking the scoreline to 1 - 1. 65 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Preciosa substitution. R. Winter-Moradi came on for S. Bley. After 69 minutes Panormus's 宋. 综智 (Zongzhi) limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. Preciosa could have put themselves ahead after 75 minutes but M. Haedrich missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave D. Rehdanz from Preciosa a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 77 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Panormus's J. Cavani placed the ball right at his teammate's feet after a corner, but M. Agabiti couldn't finish. 80 minutes into the match, Panormus nearly took the lead, as 宋. 综智 (Zongzhi) broke through on the right. M. Frieden made the save, however. The muddy pitch made the game a gritty affair, which seemed to suit M. Agabiti just fine. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Preciosa, with 58 percent of the ball.

Most important Preciosa player was V. Vaits. On the other hand, M. Alpen's play was disheartening. Panormus's best player was T. Olsen. J. Cavani was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 1.
