v.k.ossenweg 5 - 2 ROCK56900 (393944106)

1137 spectators had come to De HeL this cloudy day. Štěpán Horvát was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Carlo Cipriani and Patrik Forsman. v.k.ossenweg tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Starters: Sesier - Henderickx, Laane, Stavaux - Verbessem, Aranburu, Ligęzka, Barbier, Acosta - Lamoureux, Bisogno.

ROCK56900 started off with a 2-5-3 lineup. The following players had been chosen: van Bart - Falasca, Valbonetti - Signori, Gnoni, Bertoli, Colizzi, Lungarella - Pevere, Pescina, Morini.

After 5 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as ROCK56900 found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to passable. They were singing the praises of K. Barbier 8 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 v.k.ossenweg. G. Partipilo was called on to replace ROCK56900's G. Signori after 28 minutes following a nasty collision. 29 minutes into the game, ROCK56900 seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a inadequate level of organisation. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. K. Aranburu squirmed through their central defence after 32 minutes, increasing the lead to 2 - 0. Confident in their lead, v.k.ossenweg's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. After 33 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by K. Aranburu might have resulted in another goal for v.k.ossenweg. However, G. van Bart made a spectacular save. A corner kick created great disorder in the penalty area with a goal nearly scored by N. Morini. At last, ROCK56900's G. Partipilo was able to backheel the ball in. 2 - 1. v.k.ossenweg managed to extend their lead to 3 - 1 when K. Barbier cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to v.k.ossenweg, who controlled the ball 70 percent of the time.

A review of the gameplan helped ROCK56900 get back to a solid organisation when the referee blew his whistle again. After 46 minutes, ROCK56900 switched G. van Bart with A. Chelea, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. A bit later, ROCK56900's N. Morini easily reduced the lead to 3 - 2 after a misunderstanding in the home side's central defence. Given a free kick close to the byline, v.k.ossenweg tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let X. Stavaux slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 4 - 2, 54 minutes into the game. 57 minutes into the game, ROCK56900 had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to weak. D. Ligęzka should probably have put his team up another goal after 62 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by A. Chelea kept the visitors in the game. Things were deteriorating for the away team as v.k.ossenweg scored another to make it 5 - 2 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for D. Ligęzka after 63 minutes. v.k.ossenweg claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 77 percent.

v.k.ossenweg's top performer was clearly K. Aranburu. J. Henderickx on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating ROCK56900 player was without a doubt P. Pevere. A. Chelea turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 5 - 2.
