Eliten 4 - 0 Kjelsgaard (389426259)

The crowd of 31089 turning up at Katrinebjergskolen today were greeted with some nasty showers of rain. Aristide Loriot was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Andrzej Krakus and Gino Macagni. Eliten decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: Frisgaard - Cupák, Anapodopsalidis, Pheulpin - Grajcar, Trujillo, Jurecky, Hernandez, Parias - Lyn, Ghiani.

Kjelsgaard had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. Starters: Melo - Meixner, Stang, Seidov, Kirsner - Brighetti, Lange-Kroff, Baldy, Shun Keng - Gabriele, Depczyński.

Eliten were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Today, Kjelsgaard's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. Players in Kjelsgaard heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. The referee signaled a penalty for the home side after 11 minutes, amid vocal protests from the visitors. Eliten fans erupted in celebration as S. Pheulpin rifled the ball into the the top corner. 1 - 0! Eliten's O. Jurecky got himself booked for a foul. Kjelsgaard were forced into a substitution as M. Depczyński couldn't continue due to some rough treatment, forcing A. Maślankowski to come in off the bench. With 25 minutes played, Eliten's I. Trujillo almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. Eliten's J. Lyn saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 31 minutes. The home side's J. Cupák came close to extending the lead 32 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but T. Melo managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. Halftime score was 1 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to Eliten, who controlled the ball 71 percent of the time.

Eliten managed to extend their lead to 2 - 0 when J. Lyn cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. J. Lyn of Eliten was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. O. Jurecky increased the lead for Eliten to 3 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! It was a bad day for the usually speedy J. Lyn. The mud seemed to slow him down. It was a fine day for W. Shun Keng on his wing, his cross pass to L. Brighetti was especially delicate 82 minutes into the game, but the keeper saved. Attacking on the wings was the choice for Eliten, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. After 84 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and C. Parias gave the Eliten supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 4 - 0. After this, you could see that the players of Eliten were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Kjelsgaard's K. Stang was shown a yellow card after 86 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Speedy J. Lyn tried one of his patented rushes 87 minutes into the game, but S. Seidov was just as fast and averted the attack. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave G. Gabriele from Kjelsgaard a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 89 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Unfortunately for Eliten, P. Frisgaard was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. J. Vallejos replaced him. O. Jurecky was the new captain of Eliten - handed the armband by the departing player. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Eliten, with 71 percent of the ball.

J. Vallejos performed admirably for Eliten. S. Pheulpin was a disappointment, however. Kjelsgaard's top performer was clearly G. Gabriele. On the other hand, A. Maślankowski's play was disheartening. The match ends 4 - 0.
