LLE 3 - 1 Lamme`s (393785099)

Due to an all-day shower, 60000 paying spectators got to see a match on a pitch-turned-bog at † Germanovich Stadium †. Reitze Kos was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Renzo Caccavale and Daniel Cutler. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for LLE. The following players took the field: Giagnoni - Gafni, Germanovich, Monraats - Berberi, Andrés Robres, Kaleel, Albach, Weigelt - Biserov, Vitkov.

Lamme`s tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Fugiel - Nielsen, Tabi, Rommedahl - Mpougiouklis, Haldrup, Fuster, Petersen, Broendsted - Vyvial, Schäffer.

Lamme`s saw most attack opportunities on the wings. M. Weigelt gave LLE the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0 With 24 minutes played, the visitors could have drawn level after K. Schäffer came through the middle, but his kick went wide. G. Tabi didn't let the weather get him down and made some great moves on the pitch in spite of the rain. After 26 minutes, LLE were awarded a free kick. Rather than shooting straight at goal, the taker went for an indirect variant which seemed to take his team mates a bit by surprise. K. Vitkov did attempt a finish, but from an awkward position, sending the ball into the away fans. LLE's L. Andrés Robres got himself booked for a foul. 28 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as K. Vitkov broke through, making the score 2 - 0 for LLE. Lamme`s's A. Haldrup was shown a yellow card after 41 minutes for slicing down an opponent. LLE's V. Biserov left the field after 42 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was H. Algreen. V. Germanovich was handed the LLE captain's armband. H. Algreen increased the lead for LLE to 3 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! The players of LLE now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. LLE's A. Kaleel was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 44 minutes. The boggy pitch disrupted the game, especially for technical players like L. Vyvial. 3 - 0 was the score after the first half. LLE had most of the ball, with 51 percent of possession.

The coach of LLE was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 60 minutes, A. Arsov came on for R. Gafni. Lamme`s needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 60 minutes G. Tabi made way for A. Alekseyuk. A. Kaleel knew he was in trouble after hacking down an opponent. Despite his pleading with the referee, the LLE player was shown a second yellow card and dismissed from the game. H. Algreen had a fantastic opportunity to put LLE up another goal 75 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. A questionable free kick call just outside the home side's penalty area gave Lamme`s a chance at reducing the score 77 minutes into the match. In the end, the ball went wide. Attacking on the wings was the choice for Lamme`s, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. The away team improved the scoreline to 3 - 1, as S. Fuster struck home, set up well by a play on the left 83 minutes into the match. Content with how the game was proceeding, the LLE coach let T. Termezi replace L. Andrés Robres after 85 minutes. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Lamme`s, with 57 percent of the ball.

K. Vitkov performed admirably for LLE. On the other hand, H. Algreen's play was disheartening. The most dominating Lamme`s player was without a doubt D. Petersen. A. Mpougiouklis on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 1.
