ACJ 2 - 3 please (393402659)

46500 spectators arrived at A.C.J. AREENA, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Henrik Spørring was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Antony Ossedrijver and Nicki Gandrup. ACJ decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Hoppula - Repka, Hacklin, Isoniemi - Tulppala, Juaneda, Kulkki, Tammisto, Suojanen - Ääritalo, Metsäkylä.

please had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Starters: Adaos - Wenger, Vihervaara, Barregão - Dawid, Maffezzoni, Ricciardi, Hillebrand, Lusitani - Aragón, Agrelo.

Today, please's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. ACJ took the lead 17 minutes into the game by 1 - 0, as M. Tulppala elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. ACJ's opponents know to be wary of J. Suojanen's speed, but it made little difference as he flew past the defence 30 minutes into the game. Only the keeper could stop him - and he did with a perfectly timed dive! please were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. V. Agrelo made a good effort at breaking through on the right, but the home team's left defence cleared the ball to a corner. ACJ's S. Ääritalo had an excellent opportunity after 36 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! Halftime score was 1 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by ACJ, with 54 percent of the ball.

After 46 minutes, please switched M. Dawid with J. Persson, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. please needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 56 minutes B. Maffezzoni made way for J. Helenius. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, please's M. Vihervaara was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 63 minutes. R. Sinilä was given a chance to change things around. After 73 minutes, please used a short break in the game to take new instructions from their coach. After 75 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and H. Tammisto gave the ACJ supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 2 - 0. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave V. Metsäkylä from ACJ a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 76 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! please had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. Ater 77 minutes R. Hillebrand seized on an opportunistic attack from the right, and scored for please making it 2 - 1. The visitors' R. Sinilä was alert after a cross coming in from the left, levelling the score at 2 - 2 after 84 minutes. Attacking on the wings was the choice for please, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. The terraces were silenced after 86 minutes when please's F. Ricciardi put the guests ahead 2 - 3, following an attack on the right. Possession in this half belonged to please, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

T. Kulkki performed admirably for ACJ. On the other hand, M. Tulppala's play was disheartening. please's best player was J. Persson. T. Lusitani on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 3.
