Teufelsberg 4 - 2 Krajková (393426427)

2539 punters turned up at Betzenberg, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Thilo Sammet was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Guido Falco and Dimitri Meijbaum. Teufelsberg tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. They fielded: Engelund - Schneider, Järger - Toropainen, Di Tuccio, Grootjans, Merzeder, Oke - Waruszewski, Nørskov, Follmar.

Krajková started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Päiviö - Šumpík, Mauceri, Zaugg - Sušický, Hrůša, Morić, Císler, Setnička - Mosquera, Semecký.

Teufelsberg used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. Krajková preferred to finish off their attacks from a distance. J. Císler of Krajková received a yellow card after 4 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. They were singing the praises of W. Merzeder 16 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 1 - 0 to Teufelsberg. Teufelsberg's P. Nørskov made use of his speed to get free of the defence, but he still couldn't get a shot off 20 minutes into the match. With 35 minutes played, W. Merzeder could have brought this one home for Teufelsberg as he charged up on the left, but his hooked ball went just a bit too high. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, V. Hrůša got himself booked. The manager of Krajková was not happy. There was concern in the stands when, at the 40 minute mark, Krajková's J. Císler hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. With 41 minutes played, I. Setnička of Krajková fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. Teufelsberg managed to extend their lead to 2 - 0 when P. Nørskov cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. The players of Teufelsberg now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. Krajková made it 2 - 1 as Ð. Morić got a touch to the floated corner kick and flicked the ball to G. Zaugg who whipped a low drive in off the far post. Teufelsberg had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. L. Oke could have increased the lead after 44 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. Halftime score was 2 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Teufelsberg, with 63 percent of the ball.

57 minutes into the game Krajková managed a counterattack, but J. Mosquera took a soft shot from the left flank that was easy prey for the alert keeper. 69 minutes were showing on the scoreboard when Krajková's V. Hrůša received his second yellow card and was sent off. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Teufelsberg's P. Waruszewski increasing the lead to 3 - 1. With 72 minutes played, the Krajková coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. K. Brok came on, J. Mosquera had to leave the fray. A bit later, Krajková's G. Zaugg easily reduced the lead to 3 - 2 after a misunderstanding in the home side's central defence. Teufelsberg's F. Järger swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. Teufelsberg increased the lead as F. Järger struck to make the score 4 - 2 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. The coach of Teufelsberg was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 88 minutes, A. Rothwell came on for J. Engelund. Teufelsberg had most of the ball, with 67 percent of possession.

Teufelsberg's best player was R. Follmar. A. Schneider turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating Krajková player was without a doubt G. Zaugg. However, I. Setnička made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 2.
