Fc_kickass 0 - 0 pardieler (393111113)

It was an exceptionally sunny day for the crowd of 920 that came out to Wankdorf-Arena. Urpo Valkjärvi was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Dario Lenci and Menno-Jan Wilmink. Fc_kickass decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: Maze - Concia, Añón, Scherfede - Bürgler, Zaharescu, Lecomte, Julku, Delanghe - Ballenger, Gaccioli.

pardieler tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: van de Loo - Pfaller, Dubois, Wyssling, Palomino - Riegler, Galarza, Finance, Exenberger - Kulmanen, Castelle.

Fc_kickass mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. The wings were the focus of most of pardieler's attacks today. C. Scherfede's lack of experience almost gave pardieler a goal after 5 minutes, but the shot went right into the keeper's arms. I. Palomino's technique was perfect on this sunny day and led to some breathtaking tricks that bamboozled the defence. pardieler's F. Dubois was shown a yellow card after 17 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Fc_kickass's O. Delanghe tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. Slack defending gave Fc_kickass a chance to take the lead with 37 minutes played, but P. Concia's cross from the left flank was fumbled in front of the goal and easily dealt with by the opposition. M. Kulmanen had a good opportunity to give pardieler the lead as he charged down the right and struck the ball towards the top corner, but the home team's goalkeeper made the save. I. Palomino of pardieler was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. Fc_kickass had most of the ball, with 54 percent of possession.

After a fine move down the middle K. Ballenger nearly gave the home side a goal after 53 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. pardieler almost scored after a swift counterattack 54 minutes into the game, but K. Exenberger put the shot from the left flank just outside the goal. 63 minutes in, pardieler's M. Kulmanen received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Many thought L. Lecomte ought to have been awarded a penalty 69 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around M. van de Loo after a determined run through the middle. After 70 minutes, the Fc_kickass coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving L. Lecomte off the field. J. Urdangarin took his place. As the 75 minute mark approached, the Fc_kickass coach decided it was time for a substitution. C. Scherfede reluctantly made way for H. Özbilgin on the pitch. pardieler's T. Castelle got himself booked for a foul. Fc_kickass were forced into a substitution as H. Özbilgin couldn't continue due to some rough treatment, forcing R. Bjørdal to come in off the bench. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Fc_kickass, with 61 percent of the ball.

J. Urdangarin performed admirably for Fc_kickass. On the other hand, O. Delanghe's play was disheartening. The most dominating pardieler player was without a doubt M. Finance. However, F. Dubois made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 0.
