vernet 2 - 2 Neudorf (394188680)

A brilliantly sunny day had enticed a crowd of 1737 to fc vernet Arena. Stefan Christoph Heyde was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Peter Stigen and Vinzent Pralle. vernet tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. The following players took the field: Hillion - Mulet, Topolovčan, Dubrulle, Villacanes - Vazelopoulos, Eristain, Jung, van Helmond - Bura, Sygnowski.

Neudorf started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. Lineup: Collomb - Édmond, Hahn, Jobard - Veau, Dumoulin, Armand, Rameau - Abeyd, Delbos, Beck.

vernet took the lead after 24 minutes as a result of H. Bura's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0. M. Sygnowski should probably have put his team up another goal after 40 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by R. Collomb kept the visitors in the game. 41 minutes into the match the visitors levelled the score at 1 - 1 as S. Abeyd struck home from a rebound off the crossbar, following a shot from the right. After 42 minutes T. Veau made a speedy advance and dropped the ball to S. Beck who shuffled it past the keeper. The score was now 1 - 2. Neudorf's T. Veau was shown a yellow card after 44 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Halftime score was 1 - 2. Possession in this half belonged to Neudorf, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

The Neudorf players could smell victory in the air. A. Édmond wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for G. Tournade after 53 minutes. The coach of Neudorf was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 55 minutes, T. N'Djim came on for G. Dumoulin. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Neudorf coach let J. Mirallès replace T. Veau after 60 minutes. Usually a powerful player on the field, R. van Helmond looked kind of pale and tired under the hot sun. S. Beck found it hard to catch his breath today in the stifling heat. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave L. Rameau from Neudorf a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 78 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! 80 minutes into the match, vernet's M. Sygnowski maneuvered his way around the opposition on the left flank, delighting the crowd with his twists and turns. The effort paid off as the ball found the back of the net, evening the score at 2 - 2. vernet had a good opportunity to take the lead as M. Sygnowski came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of R. Collomb. Neudorf claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 55 percent.

vernet's top performer was clearly M. Sygnowski. M. Dubrulle on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Neudorf player was T. N'Djim. However, T. Hahn made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 2.
