Gravesinha 5 - 2 Germania (393008270)

Dark skies made the crowd of 1405 at RCD Gravesinha Stadium a little nervous, but the rain held off. Jędrzej Miroński was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Robertus Veld and Rendert Bouwman. Gravesinha decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Pintado - Barone, van Aken, Oswald, Benazet - Wormser, 其桂 (Qigui), Nevber, Joala - Marañón, Melecio.

A 4-3-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Germania. The following players took the field: Tappeiner - Loewis, Schwabe, Velicu, Minei - Mujdža, Palla, Konrad - Daffin, Tewari, Sautner.

Gravesinha took a creative approach on the field. Gravesinha fans held their breath as P. Wormser scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 1 - 0! 4 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as P. Wormser broke through, making the score 2 - 0 for Gravesinha. M. Daffin of Germania was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. With 13 minutes played, Gravesinha put themselves up 3 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to Q. Barone, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. Confident in their lead, Gravesinha's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Gravesinha's J. van Aken increasing the lead to 4 - 0. With 17 minutes played, Gravesinha's P. Wormser almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. 4 - 0 was the halftime score. Gravesinha enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 63 percent of possession.

Gravesinha managed to extend their lead to 5 - 0 when V. Joala cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. The corner kick from M. Schwabe was powerfully met by the head of F. Sautner to make the score 5 - 1. The visitors' right side was dangerous today; M. Daffin made the home team's keeper look foolish as he easily reduced the lead to make it 5 - 2 64 minutes into the match. Gravesinha's E. Melecio had an excellent opportunity after 65 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! After 73 minutes Germania tried to exploit their counterattacking skills, unfortunately, E. Loewis's shot sailed wide after his break down the right. Possession in this half belonged to Gravesinha, who controlled the ball 65 percent of the time.

E. Melecio performed admirably for Gravesinha. On the other hand, P. Wormser's play was disheartening. Germania's best player was M. Daffin. M. Schwabe on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 5 - 2.
