The_Jokers 1 - 6 Weisse (393315801)

A brilliantly sunny day had enticed a crowd of 2545 to Lucky 7 Stadium. Judicaël Ritter was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Bengt Yngvesson and Kenneth 'Dude' Adamsen. The_Jokers started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Riise - Schuermans, Niemensalo, Alkemade - Francken, Antičević, Lechevalier, Maurinen, Dietzen-Gross - van Slooten, Ciaccio.

Weisse decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: Köpenick - Jungwirt, Doebereiner, Lindbichler - Zacharias, Nohynek, Verger, Borchart, Geffers - Nordkvist, Valkonen.

A mistake by the home side's central defence after 12 minutes allowed J. Valkonen to score for Weisse. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. J. Valkonen received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 22 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 2. The Weisse fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. The_Jokers refused to be intimidated and, breaking through the middle, G. Ciaccio managed to slip the ball home for 1 - 2. Halftime score was 1 - 2. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Weisse, with 53 percent of the ball.

Content with how the game was proceeding, the Weisse coach let L. Bednorz replace H. Jungwirt after 46 minutes. E. van Slooten enjoyed the sunshine and demonstrated his stunning technique over and over again. J. Valkonen increased Weisse's lead to 1 - 3 with a superb free kick strike that flew in just under the far top corner. This third goal completed a hattrick for J. Valkonen. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Weisse lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. After the ball was lifted in from the left, B. Lindbichler was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 75 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. The intense heat forced T. Schuermans into making some errors because he couldn't seem to keep up with the others. With 78 minutes played, G. Lechevalier of The_Jokers fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 79 minutes, Weisse did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, J. Nordkvist was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 1 - 4. With 83 minutes played, Weisse put themselves up 1 - 5 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was P. Zacharias. J. Valkonen of Weisse took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 83 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 1 - 6. Possession in this half belonged to Weisse, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

The most dominating The_Jokers player was without a doubt T. Antičević. On the other hand, T. Schuermans's play was disheartening. J. Nordkvist performed admirably for Weisse. However, B. Lindbichler made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 6.
