Match Report
A scorching day at TOYOTA-TEAM Arena, where 5371 spectators were in place for today´s match.
TOYOTA-TEAM started off with a 5-4-1 lineup. Lineup:
Topalovic - Bonilla, Pajkovic, Holden, Gutiérrez, Hodalska - Dudaric, Jagic, Tumbas, Lucic - Blanco.
Tomahawks had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. Lineup:
Barrett - Wade, Noir, Conklin - Pitts, Baggio, Lenssen, Torres - Martínez, Rousseeuw, Sumner.
TOYOTA-TEAM clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could, using their excellent talent for it.
After a fine move down the middle Raúl Gutiérrez nearly gave the home side one up in the 5:th minute.
The finishing shot went just wide, though. Some beautiful plays on the left side of the field resulted
in a 6:th minute goal by Ivan Pajkovic for TOYOTA-TEAM, putting them ahead 1 - 0. Bob Barrett was caught
napping a bit later as Juan Blanco lifted a ball over him after a free kick, but the ball hit the bar,
rebounding into the keepers arms. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Tomahawks´s Silvio
Rousseeuw got himself booked. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Tomahawks´s Igor Noir got
himself booked. Halftime score was 1 - 0. TOYOTA-TEAM held the ball, with a clear 57 percent possession
rate.
When Raúl Gutiérrez left the game because of a back injury in the 56:th minute TOYOTA-TEAM, lacking
replacements, had to keep on playing decimated. Hanibal Lucic has the wonderful ability to create
chances out of thin air. In the63rd minute he drove a bicycle kick straight past the keeper, resulting
in the 2 - 0 goal. Víctor Bonilla enjoyed the sunshine and demonstrated his stunning technique over
and over again. A speedy charge from the left side of the field put TOYOTA-TEAM lead up with 3 - 0.
Pavle Tumbas finished that one off competently, firing from an acute angle. David Hodalska received
some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly, probably out of lack of experience, in the
87:th minute and almost caused an opponent to score. In the 89:th minute TOYOTA-TEAM put themselves
up 4 - 0. The visitors defenders lost the ball to Juan Blanco coming up from the left, who proceeded
to cooly round the goaltender and knock the ball home. TOYOTA-TEAM held the ball, with a clear 60
percent possession rate.
TOYOTA-TEAM´s best player was Ivan Pajkovic. Juan Blanco on the other hand, had a terrible day. The
most dominating Tomahawks player was without a doubt Silvio Rousseeuw. Nathaniel Conklin on the other
hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 4 - 0.
