Lausanne 0 - 4 Squadra (393616048)

834 spectators had come to Inonu Arena this cloudy day. Matteo Golaz was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Nicã Martin and Francesco Cattaneo. Lausanne decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. Starters: Dabadie - Beaud, Joris, Müfit, Neff - Teppo, Havukainen, Sneed, Kamet, Mogoş - Palmer.

A 5-2-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Squadra. They fielded: Worwa - Proksa, Cea Reyes, Carreira, Geyer, Bader - Voynikov, Breazu - Urbányi, Samoilă, Bertilsson.

The strategy for Lausanne was to use their ability to press. Squadra were relying on their ability to counter-attack. 10 minutes into the match, Squadra's P. Urbányi popped up from nowhere, cheekily stole the ball off an opposition player and scored. 0 - 1. The Squadra free kick 27 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of M. Proksa, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 0 - 2! M. Bader of Squadra was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. 34 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 3 as P. Urbányi finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. C. Samoilă stunned the crowd with a brilliant counterattack from the left, giving Squadra the goal to make it 0 - 4. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Squadra lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. Halftime score was 0 - 4. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Lausanne, with 64 percent of the ball.

Some mind-boggling play by A. Sneed almost resulted in a goal for Squadra, but V. Breazu's shot rebounded off the post. Squadra mounted an inspired counterattack down the right wing after 87 minutes, but V. Carreira was unable to convert from short range. Lausanne enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 64 percent of possession.

The most dominating Lausanne player was without a doubt H. Dabadie. O. Havukainen on the other hand, had a terrible day. B. Bertilsson performed admirably for Squadra. However, D. Voynikov made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 4.
