ASB 0 - 1 Lokomotive (393126646)

A scorching day at Wankdorf, where 721 spectators were in place for today's match. José Bartolomé Fariña was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Pere Capdevila and Paul Monrad. ASB started off with a 5-5-0 lineup. The following players took the field: Mommers - Kuperberg, Février, Sigg, Hornec, Ekell - Bertolotti, Resta, Trincas, Neumeyer, Bongiovì -.

Lokomotive decided to use a 5-5-0 set up. Lineup: Debuire - Monroy, Juszkiewicz, Borgsdorf, Haslberger, Steurer - Bellmann, Chirvasiu, Zavagnin, Bornemann, Özkutal -.

It was obvious that ASB were using their pressing skill as their primary tactic. Lokomotive immediately set off using their skill at pressing their opponents. R. Hornec enjoyed the sunshine and demonstrated his stunning technique over and over again. ASB's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. The referee showed Lokomotive's D. Haslberger the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. ASB claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 55 percent.

With 48 minutes having been played, his teammates looked on in disbelief as T. Kuperberg thoughtlessly misplayed the ball, setting up Lokomotive's M. Bellmann for an easy goal. 0 - 1. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Lokomotive coach let O. Baladzedas replace S. Juszkiewicz after 60 minutes. M. Borgsdorf wanted to play on, but the Lokomotive coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 60 minutes into the game by L. Nosek. After 70 minutes of the match, the manager still hoped to turn things around. C. Resta was ordered to assume a different position on the pitch. He took the place of A. Sigg, who in turn replaced his team mate. With 89 minutes played, the ASB coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. A. Kyötikki came on, T. Kuperberg had to leave the fray. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, ASB's A. Ekell was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 89 minutes. J. Villalobos was given a chance to change things around. ASB needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 89 minutes R. Hornec made way for H. Indlekofer. Still trailing on the score board, ASB adjusted their tactics after 89 minutes. F. Février had a quick chat at the side line, then switched positions with M. Bongiovì. D. Haslberger left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 89 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. J. Eriksson was the replacement. ASB had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.

The most dominating ASB player was without a doubt N. Trincas. J. Villalobos was a disappointment, however. Lokomotive's best player was L. Nosek. F. Steurer turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 1.
