FC1972 0 - 6 Scorpions (393839974)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and TIBI-G Arena saw a crowd turnout of 1673. Sacha Moerenhout was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Abdelazziz El Hadden and Sefer Arslanagić. FC1972 had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Ersten - Kovačević, Hojjat Doust, Colet - Ahmar, Heinikoski, Azari, Kugler, Ehsani Kia - Heuser, Khakpour.

Scorpions tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players took the field: Viver - Lauster, von dem Knesebeck, Weisselrodt - Saulevičius, Benningshof, Stauffer, Kacetl, Möslinger - Csont, Karlsson.

Scorpions were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 34 minutes into the match left Scorpions's L. Kacetl completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. G. Stauffer of Scorpions took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 40 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 2. With 42 minutes played, Z. Csont nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. There was concern in the stands when, at the 43 minute mark, Scorpions's J. Benningshof hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 2. Possession in this half belonged to Scorpions, who controlled the ball 78 percent of the time.

K. Möslinger left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 46 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. J. Heersema was the replacement. After 62 minutes, Scorpions's L. Kacetl burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 3. FC1972's M. Ehsani Kia got himself booked for a foul. FC1972's M. Ehsani Kia left the field after 68 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was K. Głażewski. The visitors' T. Karlsson took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 71 minutes into the match. 0 - 4 for Scorpions. At the 74 minute mark, it looked like the opportunity for Scorpions to score had been missed until T. Karlsson suddenly worked his way clear and fired off a spectacular shot. The keeper had no chance! 0 - 5. 75 minutes into the match, Z. Csont came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. After 76 minutes FC1972 tried to exploit their counterattacking skills, unfortunately, I. Heuser's shot sailed wide after his break down the right. 77 minutes in, FC1972's T. Heinikoski received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. With 79 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, B. Hojjat Doust needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. Scorpions increased their lead after 80 minutes when J. Heersema broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 6, much to the home crowd's dismay. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Scorpions lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. The incalculable T. Karlsson of Scorpions did everything right as he set up J. Heersema for a goal after 82 minutes. Unfortunately, the strike missed its target. After 85 minutes, Scorpions's Z. Csont fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Scorpions, with 80 percent of the ball.

The most dominating FC1972 player was without a doubt M. Khakpour. B. Hojjat Doust was a disappointment, however. Scorpions's top performer was clearly Z. Csont. J. Saulevičius turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 6.
