MLDS1989 1 - 3 Gontnarshausen (377888228)

798 spectators had come to Fortin Verde this cloudy day. Barend Breemer was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Guido Lochak and Fernando Aversa. MLDS1989 had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. The following players took the field: Lorinc - Chacón, Miura, Cachay, Sarmiento - Rátiva, Compagni, Iriondo, López - Manrique, Álvarez.

Gontnarshausen started off with a 5-3-2 lineup. Lineup: Pallas - Messinger, Kubach, Wälli, Heftig, Glosser - Cranach, Ruescas, Lagerblom - Ballotta, Tormenta.

T. Iriondo of MLDS1989 received a yellow card after 5 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Some things can only be learned through experience, and T. Iriondo should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting Gontnarshausen a goal with 10 minutes of the match played. MLDS1989's A. Álvarez had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 16 minutes having been played. M. San Sebastián was the replacement. Down the middle came M. Tormenta, making a fantastic play that nearly had Gontnarshausen take the lead after 24 minutes, but S. Lorinc preserved the tie. 0 - 0 was the score after the first half. Gontnarshausen had most of the ball, with 58 percent of possession.

The guests took the lead 63 minutes into the match, after a right-side attack resulted in J. Glosser scoring to make it 0 - 1. Gontnarshausen's J. Glosser was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 64 minutes. With 66 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed M. Tormenta of Gontnarshausen to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 2. The situation leading to MLDS1989's penalty 74 minutes into the match will be much debated after the game ends, but the competent E. Cachay didn't hesitate to make the score 1 - 2. A drive down the left side allowed P. Lagerblom to get in close and score another goal for Gontnarshausen after 84 minutes, taking the score to 1 - 3. Gontnarshausen claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

C. Manrique performed admirably for MLDS1989. However, M. San Sebastián made a disastrous appearance. Most important Gontnarshausen player was P. Lagerblom. On the other hand, T. Pallas's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 3.
