Staroźreby 3 - 4 Endevant (393517160)

4528 fans braved the pouring rain at Twierdza Bogdana. Vlad Tudor was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Donato Figus and Radu Anca. Staroźreby decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. Lineup: Vergos - Deconinck, Worms, Ertl, Cano-Triguero - Lefranc, Bober, Maziec, Gielas, Komorótzky - Delgado.

Endevant had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Marks - Malczyński, Fischer, Celentano - Hofschneider, Teterycz, Curvers, Cyzio, Auerbach - Školík, Giermek.

It was obvious that Staroźreby were using their pressing skill as their primary tactic. After 24 minutes, Endevant's R. Giermek made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave F. Fischer from Endevant a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 26 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! F. Worms did not have a good day today, often losing his footing on the muddy pitch. 41 minutes in, and Staroźreby were able to score the equalising goal to make it 1 - 1 when L. Delgado picked up a pass coming in from the right and chipped it past the away team's keeper. The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of Endevant's F. Fischer after 43 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 1 - 2 lead. 1 - 2 was the score after the first half. Endevant claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.

Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Staroźreby's L. Deconinck was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 46 minutes. T. Zeilinger was given a chance to change things around. The crowd chanted their encouragement as Staroźreby's M. Gielas came in from the right after 48 minutes and put the ball in the net to level the score at 2 - 2. G. Hofschneider was having a great game - if anything the pouring rain seemed to be spurring him on! After some beautiful movement down the left wing, C. Ertl scored for Staroźreby putting them ahead 3 - 2, after 63 minutes. Endevant tied it all up, 68 minutes in, after a spectacular goal by R. Giermek, who miraculously broke through the home side's central defence, making it 3 - 3. Endevant had to make a substitution after 69 minutes. Z. Teterycz limped off the field and was replaced by P. Souza. Making his way up the middle 73 minutes into the match, C. Ertl almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert D. Marks blocked it to keep the score level. Endevant's M. Malczyński was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 78 minutes. Endevant had most of the ball, with 60 percent of possession.

With the scores being level after 90 minutes, the match went into extra time. The visiting K. Cyzio was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 98 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 3 - 4 was the score. Game over, Endevant win! The most dominating Staroźreby player was without a doubt L. Delgado. However, F. Worms made a disastrous appearance. Most important Endevant player was D. Školík. O. Celentano was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 4.
