2000 2 - 0 Maverick (393297977)

It was an exceptionally sunny day for the crowd of 3213 that came out to JaZ 2000 Arena. Philipp Ranzmaier was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Ruben Helmus and Kevin Alli. 2000 decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Starters: Bellentani - Eisenhold, Aavola, Dresel - Matsson, Penzić, Triglia, Wehdorn, Debaille - Abbt, Sűrű.

Maverick tactics involved an interesting 5-3-2 combination. Lineup: Beerefelde - Bacchetti, Iaccarino, Parton, De Piano, Drabeck - Kalemi, Negretti, Arcolei - Pischedda, Perna.

2000 displayed their ability to play creatively. Maverick tried to focus their attacks down the middle. Many thought A. Abbt ought to have been awarded a penalty 6 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around P. Beerefelde after a determined run through the middle. 20 minutes into the game, G. Negretti had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came G. Laserra. C. Iaccarino received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 32 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. 2000 enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 59 percent of possession.

After a fine move down the middle M. Sűrű nearly gave the home side a goal after 55 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. Several players seemed a little dazed by the warm weather, and were repeatedly tricked by the clever and agile A. Arcolei. With 68 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as M. Sűrű flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. C. Parton of Maverick received a yellow card after 77 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. 79 minutes in, Maverick appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only solid. 2000 increased the lead as M. Sűrű struck to make the score 2 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. Maverick's T. Drabeck got himself booked for a foul. 85 minutes into the game, Maverick had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to inadequate. 2000 claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 61 percent.

Most important 2000 player was A. Abbt. T. Matsson turned in a dismal performance, however. Maverick's top performer was clearly L. Perna. F. Bacchetti was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 0.
