Torperdo 4 - 1 Kanguros (394165216)

It was an exceptionally sunny day for the crowd of 2859 that came out to Gang u hol mir no es Küehls us em Stübli Arena. Josef Stubner was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Esteban García Calderón and Ştefan Muşa. A 2-5-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Torperdo. They fielded: Latte - Matarasso, Ebneter - Huguelet, Zane, Wetzel, Al-Aziz, Reppert - Neglia, Razi, Audet.

Kanguros tactics involved an interesting 5-4-1 combination. Starters: Serdinov - Wilkhu, Cogliandolo, van der Sligte, Müllerrich, Croft - Wedau, Aspås, Blauenstein, Máca - Trochonowicz.

Many thought E. Audet ought to have been awarded a penalty 18 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around V. Serdinov after a determined run through the middle. Torperdo's U. Huguelet tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 26 minutes into the match left Kanguros's B. Máca completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. Several players seemed a little dazed by the warm weather, and were repeatedly tricked by the clever and agile S. Müllerrich. Torperdo put pressure on the visitors' central defence 34 minutes into the game, but E. Audet couldn't find an opening. Due to some great work on the right wing Torperdo's N. Razi was able to even the score after 35 minutes to make the score 1 - 1. The referee showed Torperdo's F. Wetzel the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Torperdo, with 65 percent of the ball.

After a fine move down the middle P. Neglia nearly gave the home side a goal after 50 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. 69 minutes into the game, Torperdo had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to solid. U. Huguelet gave Torperdo the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 2 - 1 Torperdo's P. Neglia was shown a yellow card after 75 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Torperdo increased the lead as U. Huguelet struck to make the score 3 - 1 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. After 77 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and P. Neglia gave the Torperdo supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 4 - 1. After 80 minutes, Kanguros switched P. Croft with J. Kiwała, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. P. Zane could have put Torperdo up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 85 minutes. The game was close to savage at times, and Torperdo's P. Neglia received a second yellow card after 86 minutes; his ticket out of the game. B. Máca was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so Kanguros's C. Baker had to come off the bench. Possession in this half belonged to Torperdo, who controlled the ball 69 percent of the time.

Torperdo's best player was E. Audet. However, C. Matarasso made a disastrous appearance. B. Aspås performed admirably for Kanguros. D. Cogliandolo was a disappointment, however. The match ends 4 - 1.
