Niedersachsen 5 - 0 MareoSporting (393122457)

1379 punters turned up at Deinster Güllegrube, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Mikko Syrjänen was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Bruno Léonard and Bjoern Biedenweg. Niedersachsen decided to use a 2-5-3 set up. The following players had been chosen: Altenkessel - Curtis, Sinclair - Bommel, Noorlander, Abrantes, Skat, Harders - Johannisthaler, Nürbauer, Görne.

MareoSporting started off with a 4-5-1 lineup. Starters: Caba - Gallardo, Gascón, Marsà, del Cordel - Fontanete, Peñate, Isurieta, Bendidouh, Nandino - Caraves.

Some great play up the middle by Niedersachsen led to a chance for G. Nürbauer to score after 8 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. 13 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for Niedersachsen was F. Görne. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, R. Fontanete got himself booked. The manager of MareoSporting was not happy. T. Curtis had a fantastic opportunity to put Niedersachsen up another goal 30 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 0. Niedersachsen claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 78 percent.

Niedersachsen increased the lead as G. Nürbauer struck to make the score 2 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. F. Görne left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 60 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. C. Zwirn was the replacement. With 66 minutes played, B. Sinclair of Niedersachsen fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. With 68 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, A. Skat needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. Cheers filled the stadium as A. Skat broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 3 - 0 to Niedersachsen. Niedersachsen put themselves up 4 - 0 when L. Harders broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. By now, the players in Niedersachsen felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. Niedersachsen's L. Abrantes saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 85 minutes. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Niedersachsen's L. Abrantes increasing the lead to 5 - 0. Niedersachsen had most of the ball, with 81 percent of possession.

The most dominating Niedersachsen player was without a doubt A. Noorlander. T. Curtis on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important MareoSporting player was C. Caraves. On the other hand, J. Caba's play was disheartening. The match ends 5 - 0.
