Stamgasten 0 - 4 Elise (393233235)

The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 41000 had shown up at Kierewiet Stadion for the match. Igor 'The Machine' Stojković was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Piet van den Elzen and Márton Bernát. Stamgasten had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. The following players had been chosen: Benítez - van Baerle, Al-Saedi, Fromentin, Oană - Oláh, Albrehts, Filipek, De Carlo, Naglič - Eysker.

Elise decided to use a 2-5-3 set up. They fielded: Eygel - Hofkes, Dasberg - Pittman, Coosen, Felea, Alegre, 家卫 (Jiawei) - Szücs, Dorbeck, Karlsson.

B. Dorbeck of Elise was able to make an impressive rush past the sluggish S. Al-Saedi, which resulted in a goal making the score 0 - 1. Some fine movement on the left led to a Elise goal after 7 minutes, making it 0 - 2. D. Karlsson was noted down as the scorer. After 23 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for G. Hofkes who increased Elise's lead to 0 - 3. Confident in their lead, Elise's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. 26 minutes in, the unpredictable P. Szücs of Elise turned and curled the ball towards goal, but it flew inches wide of the post, almost taking out a member of the crowd! 30 minutes into the game, Elise worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. 0 - 3 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Elise, with 55 percent of the ball.

A lovely run by Elise's D. Karlsson left his markers for dead and should have resulted in a goal, but the finish went just wide. Elise's B. Dorbeck made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 50 minutes into the match. After rounding the keeper, he only had to place the ball in the unguarded goal when a defender slid in and cleared the ball off the line. Stamgasten needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 55 minutes I. Oláh made way for G. Sanderink. The referee showed Elise's Y. Dasberg the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Stamgasten's I. Albrehts was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 60 minutes. G. La Rana was given a chance to change things around. After 68 minutes, D. Karlsson sprinted between the opposing defenders and squared the ball, but the keeper deflected B. Dorbeck's shot. The bench was restless, and with 75 minutes passed Stamgasten's coach gave D. Gandino the opportunity the player had been hoping for. P. Eysker reluctantly left the field. 77 minutes into the game a free kick by Y. Dasberg found its way through the home side's poorly assembled defensive formation, making Elise's lead 0 - 4. Elise enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 56 percent of possession.

The most dominating Stamgasten player was without a doubt Z. Filipek. However, G. Sanderink made a disastrous appearance. B. Dorbeck performed admirably for Elise. On the other hand, D. Karlsson's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 4.
