Lällihousut 0 - 1 Eintracht (393156109)

The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 2053 had shown up at LÄLLIHOUSUT AREENA for the match. Marko Pörrö was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Frede Behrendt and Roberto Pazzaglia. A 5-4-1 alignment was the formation of choice for Lällihousut. They fielded: Väisälä - Ali-Raatikainen, Saha, Pajarinen, Ylätalo, Knuts - Myntti, Julin, Conta, Kotikumpu - Alsio.

Eintracht started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Starters: Gobbi - Nicolau, Halkjær, Meredith - Koester, Niederberger, Audy, Lambrigger, Deriaz - Kastu, Corre.

Eintracht were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. T. Ali-Raatikainen seemed highly inexperienced when, after 3 minutes, he was caught dilly-dallying with the ball and allowed J. Deriaz to intercept and strike home the goal for Eintracht to make the score 0 - 1. K. Nicolau of Eintracht was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Eintracht's H. Niederberger had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 42 minutes having been played. D. Hilfiker was the replacement. 0 - 1 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to Eintracht, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

With 60 minutes played, after a good run down the left, P. Myntti went down looking for a penalty after a challenge from the visitors' right fullback, but the referee waved play on, and later warned him for diving. Eintracht were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. After 62 minutes Lällihousut tried to exploit their counterattacking skills, unfortunately, T. Pajarinen's shot sailed wide after his break down the right. 76 minutes into the game, J. Meredith had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came K. Buschbeck. Eintracht had most of the ball, with 54 percent of possession.

Lällihousut's top performer was clearly J. Ylätalo. However, P. Myntti made a disastrous appearance. Eintracht's best player was T. Gobbi. P. Halkjær turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 1.
