EKODA 0 - 0 mobi-hi (371471662)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 55204 to TOYOTAMA KITA Stadium. Dieter Ewald was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Kajetan Lukowitsch and Cristóbal Rioseco. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for EKODA. Lineup: Soto - Cerón, Santi, Montenegro - Ben Dhifallah, Ghiorghiof, Mandl, Dağ, Favre - Greweling, Chihara.

mobi-hi had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. Starters: Paulsson - Dechanet, Mokhtari, Maria, Iturrigaray - Senseig, Sáenz, 関谷 (Sekiya), Sotomura, Clear - Marquet.

mobi-hi demonstrated their creative tactics on the field. With the clock showing 41 minutes played, a great pass from the defensive line of EKODA resulted in a counterattack that was smoothly brought under control by H. Chihara in the centre of the opposition's penalty area, but his finish went high. Slack defending gave EKODA a chance to take the lead with 42 minutes played, but H. Greweling's cross from the left flank was fumbled in front of the goal and easily dealt with by the opposition. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave T. Maria from mobi-hi a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 43 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Halftime score was 0 - 0. EKODA had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.

With the match clock at 65 minutes, mobi-hi modified their style of play a little bit. With 68 minutes played, S. Mandl of EKODA fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. 雄. 関谷 (Sekiya) received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 74 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. Making his way up the middle 87 minutes into the match, H. Greweling almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert J. Paulsson blocked it to keep the score level. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by EKODA, with 57 percent of the ball.

Most important EKODA player was M. Ghiorghiof. However, Í. Soto made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating mobi-hi player was without a doubt M. Sáenz. On the other hand, 雄. 関谷 (Sekiya)'s play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 0.
