previous 5/10 next 7/10  barcelona 0 - 4 Drigstrup (393647936)

The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 1680 had shown up at Estadio Monumental El Templo BSC for the match. Anders Persson was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Rocco Brunthaler and Juul Koek. barcelona had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. They fielded: Riedmann - Ribadeneira, Copas, Gilléron, Paredes - Ibarra, Zúñiga, Mora, Barahona, Noriega - Zúñiga.

Drigstrup started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Juul - Iversen, Davidsen, Bæk - Poulsen, Spangberg, Vodsgaard, Foldgast, Rosenberg - Udesen, Riber.

Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for barcelona. Drigstrup clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. Given a free kick close to the byline, Drigstrup tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let N. Bæk slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 0 - 1, 20 minutes into the game. After 25 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed E. Iversen to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 2. After 27 minutes of game time, N. Bæk had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but S. Riedmann was in the right place and tipped the ball over for a corner. After 33 minutes of play, the free-spirited J. Noriega decided to go for goal as he struck the ball from the corner of the pitch. The ball hit a defender in the face and bounced out of play. Drigstrup came close to extending their lead as M. Riber delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 34 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. 0 - 2 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Drigstrup, with 73 percent of the ball.

The coach of Drigstrup was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, R. Bedsted came on for F. Juul. M. Davidsen wanted to play on, but the Drigstrup coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 46 minutes into the game by L. Rubinke. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Drigstrup coach let M. Svejstrup replace F. Spangberg after 46 minutes. Against a lesser team, Drigstrup could very well have succeeded with their smart indirect free kick routine after 60 minutes. A trio of passes took the ball all the way past the defenders, but by then the intended recipient was already blocked off and the keeper could make a leisurely save. After 61 minutes Drigstrup nearly put themselves up another goal from a penalty taken by E. Iversen, but the keeper made an unbelievable save. The visitors' B. Udesen took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 71 minutes into the match. 0 - 3 for Drigstrup. Drigstrup had no available replacements when M. Svejstrup had to leave the game after 72 minutes because of a pulled tendon, leaving the team a man short. The home crowd was not impressed when F. Poulsen came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 73 minutes. Drigstrup were now up 0 - 4. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Drigstrup lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. Drigstrup claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 64 percent.

barcelona's top performer was clearly V. Gilléron. However, S. Riedmann made a disastrous appearance. Drigstrup's best player was M. Riber. On the other hand, F. Poulsen's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 4.
