Ammensleben 3 - 4 Cargo (369015079)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Wendehammer saw a crowd turnout of 12250. Giorgio Laperna was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Lucio Fenoglio and Filips van Walbeek . Ammensleben tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Rungkat - Ungureanu, Steinsfurt, Bouma - Opalić, Coulin, Valioulis, Jacobsen, Schuler - Bernögger, Santis.

Cargo decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. They fielded: Lewmo - Moalbar, Loeschl, Smid, Olmo Cañas - Pasin, Melgunow, Fransolet, Donato, Akhondpour - Hanada.

With 6 minutes played, E. Bouma of Ammensleben fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. After 13 minutes, Cargo put themselves up 0 - 1, as A. Hanada finished off a strike from the left with a real cannonball of a shot. Cargo's N. Akhondpour was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 23 minutes. N. Jacobsen of Ammensleben received a yellow card after 34 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. After 35 minutes, L. Fransolet sent the corner kick right to A. Hanada who headed it sharply past the keeper. 0 - 2! A marvellous Ammensleben effort on the right-hand side resulted in a goal after 37 minutes by J. Santis, making the score 1 - 2. Halftime score was 1 - 2. Ammensleben claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 57 percent.

After 64 minutes of play, W. Schuler evened things up for Ammensleben with an impressive goal coming up the middle. 2 - 2. Good work by the Cargo defensive line after 68 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found L. Fransolet alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to Ä. Bernögger, but the Ammensleben player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 3 - 2! A. Hanada finished off a quick charge from the left of the field by chipping the ball just past the home side's keeper, making the score 3 - 3 84 minutes into the match. This third goal completed a hattrick for A. Hanada. Cargo's A. Hanada gave the visitors a 3 - 4 lead after 87 minutes with a superb strike from the right. After 87 minutes, a deliberate handball from Cargo's N. Akhondpour was judged to be his second bookable offence, and he was sent off. Ammensleben enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 53 percent of possession.

Most important Ammensleben player was J. Santis. N. Ungureanu on the other hand, had a terrible day. Cargo's best player was A. Hanada. W. Smid turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 4.
