Dekadenci 0 - 1 StyczniaJWP (377849562)

The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 1052 had shown up at Dekadencja for the match. Vassilis Koutromichalis was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Mattias P. Stjernstedt and Othmar Siegers. Dekadenci started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Lineup: Kafel - Maschio, Hardegger, Fijałkowski - Morone, Grajales, Nabergoj, Eekhof, Alongi - Putra, Évrard.

A 4-3-3 alignment was the formation of choice for StyczniaJWP. They fielded: Wotowicz - Wojdalski, Pazgrat, Koryciński, Bojarczuk - Burczak, Babik, Przewoźniak - 永田 (Nagata), Nordenham, Cohen.

Dekadenci clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. StyczniaJWP were relying on their ability to counter-attack. After a fine move down the middle G. Grajales nearly gave the home side a goal after 15 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. Dekadenci had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. Many thought W. Putra ought to have been awarded a penalty 38 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around M. Wotowicz after a determined run through the middle. 39 minutes into the game StyczniaJWP managed a counterattack, but J. Wojdalski took a soft shot from the left flank that was easy prey for the alert keeper. Dekadenci created a good opportunity to score 41 minutes into the match when P. Évrard's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. StyczniaJWP's counterattacks were lethal to the opposing defence, allowing L. Burczak to score easily from the right flank for 0 - 1. It was 0 - 1 at the break. Dekadenci had most of the ball, with 75 percent of possession.

StyczniaJWP almost scored after a swift counterattack 48 minutes into the game, but C. Nordenham put the shot from the left flank just outside the goal. Good work by the StyczniaJWP defensive line after 52 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found C. Nordenham alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. With 60 minutes played, the Dekadenci coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. J. Kosunen came on, W. Putra had to leave the fray. Some things can only be learned through experience, and K. Babik should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting Dekadenci a goal with 63 minutes of the match played. Dekadenci claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 75 percent.

Dekadenci's best player was J. Kosunen. J. Fijałkowski was a disappointment, however. M. Bojarczuk performed admirably for StyczniaJWP. K. Babik on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 1.
