FENOMENI 6 - 1 Vincester (393078711)

Due to an all-day shower, 1881 paying spectators got to see a match on a pitch-turned-bog at La Piazzetta 90. Mangoba Lembede was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Uldis Pastnieks and Ichwan Suwito. FENOMENI had chosen a strategic 2-5-3 formation. Starters: Schraa - Calluy, Perhonen - Marton, Jacob, Betik, Rosa, Mano - Björkholt, Michel, Schoenfels.

Vincester decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. They fielded: Pantić - Belarrinaga, Jakšić, Paçrami, von Falkenhayn - Göransson, Momirović, Milačić, Trelles - Ilić, Atanacković.

It was an obvious ambition of Vincester to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. 7 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for FENOMENI was E. Jacob. After 9 minutes, FENOMENI's K. Björkholt found the back of the goal with a beautiful free kick. 2 - 0. FENOMENI's L. Calluy refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 12 minutes. K. Björkholt increased FENOMENI's lead to 3 - 0 with a penalty spot cannonball. 16 minutes in, FENOMENI appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only inadequate. 18 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as M. Rosa broke through, making the score 4 - 0 for FENOMENI. It was 4 - 0 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to FENOMENI, who controlled the ball 69 percent of the time.

The coach gave his players an extra tactical briefing during the break, and after that FENOMENI had solid organisation. FENOMENI managed to extend their lead to 5 - 0 when M. Rosa cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. After this, you could see that the players of FENOMENI were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. 53 minutes into the game, Ð. Atanacković had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came G. Ivić. The muddy pitch made the game a gritty affair, which seemed to suit M. Milačić just fine. With things not going too well on the field, the Vincester coach made the decision to swap the positions of J. Göransson and M. Momirović with 70 minutes played. 74 minutes into the game, FENOMENI seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to solid. With 75 minutes played, the Vincester coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. V. Usanović came on, J. Göransson had to leave the fray. K. Björkholt struck a 30 metre free kick home 80 minutes into the match. 6 - 0 for the home team. That made three goals for K. Björkholt and he was marked down for the hat trick. V. Ilić of Vincester received a yellow card after 82 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. The bench was restless, and with 83 minutes passed Vincester's coach gave M. Trpiš the opportunity the player had been hoping for. L. Jakšić reluctantly left the field. A. Paçrami was handed the Vincester captain's armband. N. Pantić was caught napping as K. Björkholt lifted a ball over him following a free kick, but the ball hit the bar, rebounding into the keeper's arms. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave L. Perhonen from FENOMENI a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 84 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! The head of V. Usanović connected with a corner kick after 85 minutes, and the ball ended up with M. Momirović of Vincester who blasted the ball into the net, making the score 6 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by FENOMENI, with 67 percent of the ball.

FENOMENI's top performer was clearly E. Jacob. L. Calluy on the other hand, had a terrible day. M. Milačić performed admirably for Vincester. On the other hand, N. Pantić's play was disheartening. The match ends 6 - 1.
