Leberkäs 6 - 2 casenia (394257114)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 1842 to Leberkäs Arena. Tullio Matteuzzi was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Yahya Bünyamin and Örjan Nilsson. Leberkäs started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. They fielded: Schiller - Waidacher, Verplancken, Knebl - Riener, Krasimirov, Ayaucán, Fischer - Matzinger, Talacko, Heinz.

A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for casenia. Lineup: Jeon - Park, Legut, Park - Clare, Lucano, Lee, Lee - Lee, Lee, Kim.

Leberkäs were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 3 minutes into the match, and D. Kim wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 0 - 1 for the visitors. 12 minutes into the match, Y. Lee came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. There was concern in the stands when, at the 24 minute mark, casenia's H. Lee hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. After a fatal mistake from the away team's right side defence 28 minutes into the match, an alert R. Ayaucán bagged the ball for Leberkäs, levelling the score to 1 - 1. S. Lee's speed was clear to see after 30 minutes, as he darted down the wing and released D. Kim who placed the ball into the back of the net to make the score 1 - 2. Due to some great work on the right wing Leberkäs's A. Krasimirov was able to even the score after 35 minutes to make the score 2 - 2. 2 - 2 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to Leberkäs, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

Leberkäs fans held their breath as W. Matzinger scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 3 - 2! A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Leberkäs's K. Knebl increasing the lead to 4 - 2. After 84 minutes, W. Matzinger put Leberkäs ahead 5 - 2 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. Confident in their lead, Leberkäs's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. The crowd roared its approval when G. Schiller somehow managed to block a shot which seemed to be a certain goal by casenia's D. Kim 85 minutes into the game. Leberkäs managed to extend their lead to 6 - 2 when M. Riener cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. Leberkäs had most of the ball, with 72 percent of possession.

Most important Leberkäs player was M. Fischer. On the other hand, S. Verplancken's play was disheartening. D. Kim performed admirably for casenia. J. Jeon on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 6 - 2.
