Olympic 3 - 0 Zwerverkes (393040698)

The 53622 spectators at Hoefsmid Park were in for an afternoon of sunshine. Andy Rengert was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Shade Vader and Jonas Svensson. Olympic decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: Cegastia - Lässer, Rydzak, Antoin - van Wely, Rigo, Deloose, Amoroso, Rong Chang - Uten, Mernissi.

Zwerverkes had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Starters: Braunegg - Vanderhaeghen, Tonzar, Hamide - Kajak, Özdurdu, De Bruno, Muurimäki, Listkowski - Myklebust, Diaco.

A. Mernissi gave Olympic 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 Zwerverkes's D. Myklebust was shown a yellow card after 15 minutes for slicing down an opponent. O. Rong Chang was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so Olympic's L. Belmar had to come off the bench. With 17 minutes played, Olympic's J. Lässer almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. 22 minutes were showing on the scoreboard when Zwerverkes's D. Myklebust received his second yellow card and was sent off. H. Diaco was the new captain of Zwerverkes - handed the armband by the departing player. Olympic's D. Uten went down after a savage challenge, but could continue playing after some medical attention. G. Cegastia's name was chanted throughout the stadium after he made a fantastic save from A. Tonzar's shot from the left 36 minutes into the match. 37 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as A. Rydzak broke through, making the score 2 - 0 for Olympic. After this, you could see that the players of Olympic were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. D. Antoin should probably have put his team up another goal after 38 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by K. Braunegg kept the visitors in the game. Halftime score was 2 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Olympic, with 55 percent of the ball.

The intense heat forced D. Antoin into making some errors because he couldn't seem to keep up with the others. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Olympic coach let T. Vosté replace T. Deloose after 60 minutes. T. Rigo had a fantastic opportunity to put Olympic up another goal 66 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. After 76 minutes, Olympic 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 P. Amoroso, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 3 - 0. The sun seemed to put C. De Bruno in a great mood, and he showed off his technical skills all match long. Possession in this half belonged to Olympic, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

The most dominating Olympic player was without a doubt A. Rydzak. On the other hand, L. Belmar's play was disheartening. Most important Zwerverkes player was C. De Bruno. However, A. Tonzar made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 3 - 0.
