Thursday, October 30, 2008 07:11:47

The 47029 spectators, some supporters of Red__Devils, at www.ersano.com were in for an afternoon of sunshine. Ersan started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Jacq - Darch, Dawkins, Gunchev - Quesada, Shepherd, Radinović, Mekišius, Gardiner - Doberstein, Borgobello. LuKavAc had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players took the field: Carlo - Vicković, González, Cicvarić - Karišik, Geveaux, Noll, Sandnes, Širbegovic - Mazlum, Tomescu.

It was an obvious ambition of LuKavAc to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. It wasn't a pretty goal, but the 9:th minute free kick by Ben Dawkins somehow found its way past the keeper. Ersan takes the lead, 1-0! Cafer Mazlum tied the game at 1 - 1 in the 12:th minute, when he converted an incredible pass from the right. LuKavAc's Rolf Sandnes got himself booked for a foul. The home side put themselves ahead 2 - 1 in the 24:th minute after a breakthrough from Lazar Gunchev, who, unaided, came in out of the right wing hooking the ball over the visitors' keeper. Javitas Mekišius increased Ersan's lead to 3 - 1, putting a header away on a hooked ball from the right. Lazar Gunchev gave Ersan supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 4 - 1 after 36 minutes, following a good exchange of passes on the right that the away team failed to deal with. Halftime score was 4 - 1. Ersan enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 57 percent of possession.

The visitors got one back when Denis Širbegovic finished off a pass from the left and scored in the 47:th minute. 4 - 2 was the score. A free kick just outside of the visitors' penalty area in the 58:th minute could have resulted in another goal, but Gerbert Carlo got a hand out and tipped the ball over the bar. It wasn't a good day at all for Cafer Mazlum. His powerful style of play just didn't fit the bill on this warm day. In the 75:th minute, LuKavAc showed some good morale and were able to reduce the score to 4 - 3 when Cafer Mazlum got past the home side's full backs right in front of the goal. Giulio Borgobello of Ersan received a yellow card in the 76:th minute for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Ersan's Ramón Quesada swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. In the 86:th minute of the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as Giulio Borgobello dashed through, knocking home 5 - 3 for Ersan. Ersan enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 59 percent of possession.

Mikey Shepherd performed admirably for Ersan. Bryan Jacq on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important LuKavAc player was Rolf Sandnes. Ilija Cicvarić turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 5 - 3.
