NonStop 1 - 4 schilte-siebni (393976405)

3840 spectators arrived at NonStop Arena, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Secondo Romizi was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Albert Ali and Cristiano Trippodo. NonStop had chosen a strategic 5-4-1 formation. The following players took the field: Gjelsvik - Vitt, Liţu, Sajur, Elshleger, Osland - Minibaev, Puiggermanal, Dziobek, Catarinense - Chinea.

schilte-siebni decided to use a 2-5-3 set up. They fielded: Galyamin - Rueger, Biedermann - Hilfiker, Dai Prá, Thorne, Kastrup, Dalnoki - Hegglin, Boulot, Avalos.

schilte-siebni clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. schilte-siebni's K. Thorne gave the visitors a 0 - 1 lead after 10 minutes with a superb strike from the right. A. Minibaev of NonStop seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 1 - 1 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by S. Catarinense. After 15 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as NonStop found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to weak. G. Osland received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 28 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. schilte-siebni took the lead 30 minutes into the game, making the score 1 - 2 after some elegant movement down the middle. T. Rueger was the scorer. Halftime score was 1 - 2. schilte-siebni enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 53 percent of possession.

The NonStop players spent the break getting a rerun of the team's tactical organisation and regained a solid organisation when the game started again. Unhappy with the result so far in the game, the NonStop manager used a brief break in play after 46 minutes to give the players new directives. schilte-siebni were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. After 66 minutes, schilte-siebni's P. Hegglin burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 1 - 3. The visitors' T. Biedermann took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 70 minutes into the match. 1 - 4 for schilte-siebni. At this point, it was obvious that the players of schilte-siebni lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. T. Rueger was, after 77 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper F. Gjelsvik made the save. 79 minutes into the game, NonStop seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a inadequate level of organisation. schilte-siebni claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.

X. Chinea performed admirably for NonStop. W. Sajur on the other hand, had a terrible day. schilte-siebni's top performer was clearly C. Dai Prá. T. Rueger turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 4.
