Sciemniacze 3 - 5 Węgry (371798976)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 23538 to Sciemniacze Arena. Dliza Festile was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Anders Karlsen and Baltasar Mazo. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Sciemniacze. The following players had been chosen: Cœur - Halvorsen, Cyrus, Galanda - Zindt, Kanál, Bourdais, Baryłka, Dworakowski - Rullo, 国强 (Guoqiang).

Węgry started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. They fielded: Plata - Fritsch, Bridelli, Živanović - Verešpej, Caetano, Scasciamacchia, Maebe - Garbuggio, Szakadáti, Velarde.

After 5 minutes, Węgry's C. Scasciamacchia made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. Sciemniacze's 袁. 国强 (Guoqiang) made a successful breakthrough on the left after 7 minutes and should have levelled the score, but instead he clipped it over the bar. The visitors' J. Velarde took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 13 minutes into the match. 0 - 2 for Węgry. The bench was restless, and with 13 minutes passed Sciemniacze's coach gave V. Stikliņš the opportunity the player had been hoping for. W. Dworakowski reluctantly left the field. Sciemniacze supporters cheered as good work down the right got the ball to A. Rullo who reduced the visitors' lead after 20 minutes to 1 - 2. Sciemniacze's A. Baryłka was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 33 minutes. Sciemniacze's A. Baryłka put his head to a well placed ball, lifted in from the left, and scored to make the score 2 - 2 with 37 minutes showing on the scoreboard clock. 2 - 3 was the score with 38 minutes played, after Č. Verešpej cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for Węgry. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave A. Rullo from Sciemniacze a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 40 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! The Węgry free kick 41 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of J. Velarde, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 2 - 4! 2 - 4 was the score after the first half. Węgry enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 53 percent of possession.

The home crowd were delighted when M. Bourdais scored with a header after an attack from the right, making the score 3 - 4. But did he use his hand? That'll be one for the pundits to talk about after the game, that's for sure! Węgry increased their lead after 65 minutes when S. Garbuggio broke through on the right, upping the score to 3 - 5, much to the home crowd's dismay. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Węgry, with 53 percent of the ball.

Sciemniacze's top performer was clearly 袁. 国强 (Guoqiang) . M. Bourdais on the other hand, had a terrible day. H. Szakadáti performed admirably for Węgry. A. Bridelli was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 5.
