sch 4 - 2 Eliahs (377721777)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 902 to Schnurki Arena. Alessandro Poggi was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Muzaffer Satı and Mario Pantegana. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for sch. They fielded: Hättenschwiler - Taşçı, Polak, Coenraads - Winmar, Lausch, Mota, Kieni, Leimi - Cubeddu, Unger.

Eliahs tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Starters: Carena - Pandori, Elflein, Daburon - Lamdauer, Klásek, Suwald, Lüdi, Sechrist - Madelaine, Rigamonti.

Eliahs were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. sch's U. Kieni got himself booked for a foul. K. Polak gave sch the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0 After 32 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by B. Mota might have resulted in another goal for sch. However, P. Carena made a spectacular save. D. Unger should probably have put his team up another goal after 33 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by P. Carena kept the visitors in the game. 1 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to sch, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

With 49 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, U. Kieni needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. G. Rigamonti tied the game at 1 - 1 after 59 minutes, when he converted an incredible pass from the right. 61 minutes in, Eliahs's L. Madelaine received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. They were singing the praises of A. Taşçı 71 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 2 - 1 to sch. 76 minutes into the game Eliahs's E. Lüdi found a gap in the home side's central defence and scored with a fabulous shot, making it 2 - 2. There was concern in the stands when, at the 86 minute mark, Eliahs's A. Daburon hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. S. Cubeddu of sch was able to make an impressive rush past the sluggish I. Elflein, which resulted in a goal making the score 3 - 2. sch's opponents know to be wary of S. Cubeddu's speed, but it made little difference as he flew past the defence 88 minutes into the game. Only the keeper could stop him - and he did with a perfectly timed dive! Cheers filled the stadium as S. Coenraads broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 4 - 2 to sch. After this, you could see that the players of sch were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. The referee showed sch's T. Leimi the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. sch claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 52 percent.

sch's top performer was clearly C. Winmar. On the other hand, S. Cubeddu's play was disheartening. O. Klásek performed admirably for Eliahs. However, E. Lüdi made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 2.
