Broncos 4 - 0 Weast (393094981)

A scorching day at kimyStadiumFC, where 1614 spectators were in place for today's match. Joaquim Inácio was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Noël Delaunay and Erwin den Tex. Broncos decided to use a 5-4-1 set up. Lineup: Akesbi - Leonard, Vandekinderen, Sedlák, Wriechen, Faísca - Ziółkowski, Abreu Correia, Echaburu, Smarzewski - Conceição Lopes.

A 2-5-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Weast. Starters: Oldenburger - Macedo, Bento - Sonnino, Leim, Pasqualini, Ilie, Denti - Karam, Ergiden, Giermasiński.

S. Karam came close to putting the visiting team one up 2 minutes into the match, following a solo raid down the middle, but D. Akesbi managed to tip the ball to a corner. Several players seemed a little dazed by the warm weather, and were repeatedly tricked by the clever and agile G. Giermasiński. 28 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for Broncos was M. Wriechen. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, F. Echaburu got himself booked. The manager of Broncos was not happy. P. Faísca hit the corner kick straight to the keeper, but it was mishandled, giving Broncos's F. Echaburu an easy chance to knock it in for 2 - 0. G. Vandekinderen could have increased the lead after 39 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. 40 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as E. Conceição Lopes broke through, making the score 3 - 0 for Broncos. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Broncos lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. 3 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to Weast, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

Content with how the game was proceeding, the Broncos coach let M. Meijerman replace D. Akesbi after 46 minutes. E. Conceição Lopes wanted to play on, but the Broncos coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 46 minutes into the game by F. Hetessy. The coach of Broncos was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, I. Ciocan came on for P. Faísca. The sunny day didn't make things easy for G. Denti who didn't seem his usual powerful self on the pitch. Weast's S. Karam was shown a yellow card after 67 minutes for slicing down an opponent. In a fantastic display of determination, Broncos's R. Sedlák forced himself to his feet, after an opponent viciously knocked him down. With 77 minutes played, Broncos's M. Wriechen almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. With 79 minutes played, Broncos put themselves up 4 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to L. Ziółkowski, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. Unsportsmanlike behaviour by F. Echaburu rendered him his second booking of the match, and Broncos had to finish the game with a reduced squad. Weast had most of the ball, with 67 percent of possession.

Most important Broncos player was F. Hetessy. G. Vandekinderen on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Weast player was without a doubt G. Giermasiński. A. Oldenburger turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 4 - 0.
