Radkov 0 - 1 Kbel (365875803)

Dark skies made the crowd of 39369 at SK Radkov Aréna a little nervous, but the rain held off. Dave Büchner was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Enrique Amat and Lindor Ojeda. Radkov decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. The following players took the field: Simplício - Buijing, Diagne, Fasani, Barbosa Ferreira - Nordlandkai, Fuzeta, Baun, Richter - Mazzocato, Radouš.

Kbel had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Vala - Trimone, Vögele, Pangaré, Manaresi - Bleuzet, Leyes, Eitani, Wiksjö - Franse, Ascenço.

Pressing was the tactic of the day for Radkov. Kbel used their skill at pressing to cut off the attack angles of their opponents all over the field. The crowd gasped as J. Diagne of Radkov was flattened by an opponent after 15 minutes and had to be carried off. F. Bětík came in off the bench. Radkov's S. Buijing had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 34 minutes having been played. P. Łukowiak was the replacement. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Radkov, with 54 percent of the ball.

With 47 minutes played A. Barbosa Ferreira almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. Good work by the Kbel defensive line after 48 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found M. Wiksjö alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. Radkov's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 65 minutes into the match left Kbel's R. Eitani completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. Kbel's G. Pangaré was shown a yellow card after 66 minutes for slicing down an opponent. L. Bleuzet wanted to play on, but the Kbel coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 69 minutes into the game by M. Heidemann. At this time in the match, Kbel were using their skill at pressing to successfully stifle the game. S. Richter of Radkov was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. E. Ascenço left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 76 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. D. Gaube was the replacement. Radkov had most of the ball, with 57 percent of possession.

Most important Radkov player was A. Fuzeta. However, P. Łukowiak made a disastrous appearance. Kbel's best player was W. Franse. On the other hand, S. Vala's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 1.
