Brandenburg 1 - 4 j.2010 (394085537)

The 1715 fans in attendance at Stahl Brandenburg Arena were roasting in the hot sun. Michael Lennox was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Hannes Kirkovits and Daniel Dahlblom. Brandenburg decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. The following players took the field: Malo - Karakan, Gross, Fürst - Hueck, Angeler, Gassenmeyer, Lößl - Rackel, Hötte, Häuslein.

A 2-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for j.2010. The following players had been chosen: Pigoli - Billanti, Montanaro - Lusini, Ferriz, Ou, 智信 (Zhixin), Mitrovic - van der Sluijs, Roccotiello.

Brandenburg immediately set off using their skill at pressing their opponents. 0 - 1 was the score with 5 minutes played, after G. Mitrovic cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for j.2010. Brandenburg's A. Häuslein got himself booked for a foul. Several players seemed a little dazed by the warm weather, and were repeatedly tricked by the clever and agile A. Fürst. Brandenburg's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. After 22 minutes j.2010's L. Lusini contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. After the ball was lifted in from the left, J. van der Sluijs was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 38 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. B. Hötte of Brandenburg was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. J. van der Sluijs received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 41 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 2. The j.2010 fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. Brandenburg's M. Angeler left the field after 44 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was R. Griffaton. Halftime score was 0 - 2. j.2010 claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 66 percent.

Brandenburg's A. Häuslein cut towards the middle after 55 minutes, receiving a brilliant pass and slicing through the visiting team's central defence, reducing the lead to 1 - 2. 80 minutes into the game, Brandenburg seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a inadequate level of organisation. j.2010 once again set a long distance shooter in position after 81 minutes, but the defenders were wide awake and closed in on the shooter in time to block the shot. 82 minutes into the match, S. Roccotiello came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. 83 minutes into the game, Brandenburg seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to weak. J. Lößl wasn't much help defensively. His energy-consuming forward runs proved quite costly in the oppressive heat. After 86 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed F. Montanaro to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 1 - 3. j.2010's 王. 智信 (Zhixin) was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 87 minutes. The visitors added to their lead 88 minutes into the game, after a sensational penalty kick by j.2010's J. van der Sluijs slid just past the home keeper. 1 - 4. The players of j.2010 now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. j.2010 had most of the ball, with 71 percent of possession.

J. Lößl performed admirably for Brandenburg. However, A. Fürst made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating j.2010 player was without a doubt M. Ferriz. W. Billanti on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 4.
