Harcosok 5 - 1 Kulladals (393652437)

The 2534 fans in attendance at Morkov HarkályTanya were roasting in the hot sun. Kees Vandenheede was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Mikaël Gurdebeke and Jaimy Smolenaars. A 5-3-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Harcosok. They fielded: Rosewall - Giambertone, Micucci, Rusko, Romhányi, Jacquette - Pruncu, Mihail, Buonfini - Şchiau, Alunno.

Kulladals started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. Lineup: Bashani - Behra, Strömen, Mörzinger - Boklius, Mårtensson, Olofsson, Ståhlborg - Sidenner, Proksa, Palmgård.

Kulladals clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. Some great play up the middle by Harcosok led to a chance for P. Mihail to score after 8 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. They were singing the praises of D. Alunno 13 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 Harcosok. Harcosok's H. Romhányi was shown a yellow card after 20 minutes for slicing down an opponent. The home crowd just couldn't believe it when C. Pruncu missed a penalty after 23 minutes of the match. Harcosok increased the lead as H. Romhányi struck to make the score 2 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. Harcosok's D. Alunno increased the lead to 3 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 28 minutes. 3 - 0 was the halftime score. Harcosok had most of the ball, with 69 percent of possession.

Kulladals were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. With 57 minutes showing on the scoreboard clock, Kulladals showed some good skill and were able to reduce the score to 3 - 1 when M. Mårtensson got past the home side's central defenders right in front of the goal. The coach of Harcosok was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 60 minutes, R. Helmholtz came on for B. Micucci. The Harcosok players could smell victory in the air. W. Jacquette wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for E. Meixner after 60 minutes. After 61 minutes, Kulladals switched M. Sidenner with U. Hasselér, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. It wasn't a good day at all for J. Palmgård. His powerful style of play just didn't fit the bill on this warm day. The intense heat forced B. Mörzinger into making some errors because he couldn't seem to keep up with the others. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Harcosok scored another to make it 4 - 1 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for D. Şchiau after 88 minutes. A. Rusko behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 89 minutes as he gave the ball away to U. Hasselér. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. After 89 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and G. Buonfini gave the Harcosok supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 5 - 1. The players of Harcosok now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. A late sliding challenge from H. Romhányi was deemed to be his second yellow card offence by the referee, resulting in him being sent off, and Harcosok left a man down. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Harcosok, with 70 percent of the ball.

Harcosok's best player was P. Mihail. However, C. Pruncu made a disastrous appearance. J. Palmgård performed admirably for Kulladals. On the other hand, B. Mörzinger's play was disheartening. The match ends 5 - 1.
