(377441674)

13-03-2012 18.30
The 2849 spectators at
Eiserne Wolfs Hölle were in for an afternoon of sunshine.
Beat Porter was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Tor Bonde and
Doru Olãrescu.
A 2-5-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Wolfsburg.
Starters: Greiner - Carrozzo, García - Monteggia, Persico, Purgar, Kada, Bouillot - Machacek, Gerritsen, Zipf.
mandibulas tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination.
The following players took the field: Cordera - Fonallar, Espírito Santo, Lenharo - Srour, Álvarez, Pusat, Stevanato, Pateau - Grönér, Aracena.
mandibulas mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle.
Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 2 minutes into the match, and
H. Grönér wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 0 - 1 for the visitors.
With 27 minutes of the game having been played,
Á. Monteggia received a blow to the hip in a collision and was unable to continue. Wolfsburg, with no available replacements, now faced the prospect of finishing the game with a reduced number of players.
The visitors'
U. Pusat took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 32 minutes into the match. 0 - 2 for mandibulas.
After 35 minutes mandibulas's
M. Pateau limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue.
With 36 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience,
U. Pusat needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed.
After 37 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for
F. Stevanato who increased mandibulas's lead to 0 - 3.
0 - 3 was the halftime score.
mandibulas claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 67 percent.
The sun seemed to put
M. Aracena in a great mood, and he showed off his technical skills all match long.
After 56 minutes, mandibulas's
M. Aracena burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 4.
After this, you could see that the players of mandibulas were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals.
With 63 minutes played, mandibulas put themselves up 0 - 5 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was
M. Aracena.
J. Bouillot found it hard to catch his breath today in the stifling heat.
C. Espírito Santo received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 71 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 6. The mandibulas fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early.
The referee showed Wolfsburg's
T. Zipf the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge.
Due to a severely mistimed tackle,
V. Álvarez of mandibulas spent some time on the grass writhing in agony before he could get up and continue the game.
After 78 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave
R. Srour a chance to increase the lead for mandibulas, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 7.
The game was close to savage at times, and Wolfsburg's
T. Zipf received a second yellow card after 82 minutes; his ticket out of the game.
mandibulas were forced into a substitution as
O. Lenharo couldn't continue due to some rough treatment, forcing
L. Reiman to come in off the bench.
Some fine movement on the left led to a mandibulas goal after 85 minutes, making it 0 - 8.
L. Reiman was noted down as the scorer.
Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by mandibulas, with 69 percent of the ball.
D. García performed admirably for Wolfsburg.
On the other hand,
A. Carrozzo's play was disheartening.
Most important mandibulas player was
M. Aracena.
V. Álvarez was a disappointment, however.
The match ends 0 - 8.
