started @ 5pm. With this we had to get Sascha Heusselsche started from

the beginning after his injury and it proved so wrong. The first action

of the game saw him badly injuring his knee without any opponent impact.

Get well soon Alpha-Schlumpf!

Beside this the Germans started with the Black Suppen Cat from the

Bosporus in goal. The 4 in the back were Herminator Kinsky, Markus

Haarlein, Phillip von Zehn and Rino Zherus. In midfield we sported our

new Youngstar addition Jens Schweinsteiger as well as the running

machines Phillip Balboa, Jens Tabu and Maddias Breitner supporting up

front the grey wulf Volle Voeller.

The Germans knew that this would be a tough one, as it was 3pm nicely

hot and a good but large SJI pitch. Both teams struggled a bit to get

into the game, but the Germans were actually slightly more taking

control of the game without creating smashing chances. GAS played quite

well until the box, but then it stopped and so the game was pretty much

dead looked until a few minutes before the break, when after a long

corner Phillip Balboa screwed himself into the air and headed on the

cross bar, with the return nicely converted by Maddias Breitner. So it

was 1-0 at half time and still the game pretty much open. 

The second half saw captain Michael doing a couple of good runs and also

creating 2 good 1-1 situations with the keeper which unfortunately did

not make it in. With 17 minutes to go it was again routinier Volle

Voeller to put the game beyond doubt. Picking the ball up after Herr

Breitner made a little DEFA stunt, he was running all the way through

the Hollandse defense and nicely converted for the decisive 2-0. All 3

Germans Substitutes (Schachi, Markus D. and Florian) came on and Schachi

almost made 2 goals, but after several month on the sidelines his weight

and vision is not yet fully recovered.

In the end it was 2-0. Compliment to Hollandse who made it very

difficult for us and fought until the last minute. MOM goes to Jens

Taubken for his good running in midfield and support of both defense and

attack.
