Von Zaatari Rottweil
Spectators: 37 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Igor Jesus made the kick off which started today's match. In the 3rd minute the ball was on its way in behind CANIL VON ZAATARI™️'s goalkeeper John Victor, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Igor Jesus could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 11th minute of the match, but Vute Baliev made a huge save. The crowd rose to their feet as Igor Jesus kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Vute Baliev. That made the score 1-1 in the 11 minute of play. Luís Paulo Coelho fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 16th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Vute Baliev having to interfere. John Victor took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Toni Nenchev, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 30 minutes into the match, Toni Nenchev had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of John Victor. CANIL VON ZAATARI™️'s manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Toni Nenchev was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-2. João Pedro Paiva struck a weak shot in the 34th minute. Vute Baliev didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for CANIL VON ZAATARI™️. After some careless play in the CANIL VON ZAATARI™️ defense, Toni Nenchev kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of John Victor. The CANIL VON ZAATARI™️ fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that John Victor should have stopped the shot. In the 40th minute Gonzo Ivanov shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but John Victor saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When DARAS's Gonzo Ivanov in the 44th minute got a chance for a shot 44th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye CANIL VON ZAATARI™️'s goalie prevented a goal. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-3 lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Toni Nenchev was the one to do the kick off. The audience was convinced that Toni Nenchev's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but John Victor was relentless in the 53rd minute of the game. In the 57th match minute, DARAS was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Toni Nenchev to maneuver through the defense. Dragan Mangezov charged in rather forcefully in the 59th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Dragan Mangezov the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 59th minute, Dragan Mangezov hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 63rd minute of the game Natanael de Carvalho made a throw-in which Igor Jesus played forward. When Gonzo Ivanov came up free with the goalie in the 69th minute, the DARAS fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Gonzo Ivanov couldn't finish the play. DARAS made a substitution. Paolo Rossi replaced Toni Nenchev. John Victor showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Paolo Rossi in the 73rd minute of the match. A sloppy throw-in by Natanael de Carvalho in the 75th minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by DARAS's Antim Karamanski. John Victor was out of position in the 77 minute of play, and Gonzo Ivanov capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Gonzo Ivanov really showed his touch with that goal: 1-4. Paolo Rossi received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 81st minute. John Victor tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 83rd minute the ball was on its way in behind CANIL VON ZAATARI™️'s goalkeeper John Victor, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 88 minutes into the match, CANIL VON ZAATARI™️'s goal looked a bit too open when Gonzo Ivanov came free, but John Victor reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Paolo Rossi recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 93rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. DARAS walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
