The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 3216 had shown up at
aetos xirokampou Arena for the match.
Santo Cavazzano was the appointed referee.
xirokampou decided to use a 4-5-1 set up.
Lineup: Ülüfer - Moseholt, Dimou, Haldre, Zdravkov - Faes, Braehler, Hodorov, Højer, Bach - Nideröst.
IHATOVE started off with a 3-4-3 lineup.
The following players had been chosen: Komasa - Grekos, Ariwa, Sauerwinkel - Soacha, Jakab, Dyla, 谷 (Tani) - 榊原 (Sakakibara), 高橋 (Takahashi), 斉藤 (Saito).
It was an obvious ambition of xirokampou to use their ability at attacking on the flanks.
The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave
友. 斉藤 (Saito) from IHATOVE a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 14 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient!
0 - 1 was the score with 23 minutes played, after
友. 斉藤 (Saito) cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for IHATOVE.
友. 斉藤 (Saito) was, after 31 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
İ. Ülüfer made the save.
Halftime score was 0 - 1.
IHATOVE enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of possession.
Content with how the game was proceeding, the IHATOVE coach let
I. Narahashi replace
隆. 高橋 (Takahashi) after 60 minutes.
The referee showed xirokampou's
O. Faes the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge.
IHATOVE's
R. Komasa went down after a savage challenge, but could continue playing after some medical attention.
Although the whole team were struggling to impress, xirokampou's
A. Hodorov was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 70 minutes.
P. Baatrup was given a chance to change things around.
The coach of IHATOVE was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 70 minutes,
功. 古川 (Furukawa) came on for
悟. 榊原 (Sakakibara).
友. 斉藤 (Saito) wanted to play on, but the IHATOVE coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 75 minutes into the game by
孝. 徳田 (Tokuda).
After 79 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave
功. 古川 (Furukawa) a chance to increase the lead for IHATOVE, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 2.
Possession in this half belonged to IHATOVE, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.
The most dominating xirokampou player was without a doubt
M. Braehler.
P. Baatrup on the other hand, had a terrible day.
Most important IHATOVE player was
I. Narahashi.
秀. 谷 (Tani) turned in a dismal performance, however.
The match ends 0 - 2.
