ICEBERG HEADQUARTERS
Spectators: 7804 (Terracing: 5854, Seating: 1795, VIP seats: 155) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ermegildo Oliverio took the kick off in the first half of the match. The throw-in from Thomás de Mendonça in the 13th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Armada's Vali Caramarin. After 13 played minutes AUSTRAL BOWLING CLUB got a freekick which was hit by Corey Alonso. In the 14th minute Róbert Benkó shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Lucas Blöcker saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Cristi Miheș made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ermegildo Oliverio in the 16th minute of play. Ma Feng Sen hit a great freekick 19 minutes into the match. The audience was convinced that Anastasios Boukouvalas's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Lucas Blöcker was relentless in the 23rd minute of the game. Zühtü Onursev fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 24th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Cristi Miheș having to interfere. 27 minutes into the match, AUSTRAL BOWLING CLUB's goal looked a bit too open when Róbert Benkó came free, but Lucas Blöcker reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 31 minutes into the match, Armada's goal looked a bit too open when Corey Alonso came free, but Cristi Miheș reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If David Bitănescu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, Armada's Ionică Hrandabur got a free kick in the 39th minute. Thomás de Mendonça made in the 45th minute of the game a fairly good throw-in which was taken care of by Zühtü Onursev. After 46 played minutes AUSTRAL BOWLING CLUB got a freekick which was hit by Zühtü Onursev.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Róbert Benkó to strike the kick off in the second half. 51 minutes into the match, AUSTRAL BOWLING CLUB's goal looked a bit too open when Róbert Benkó came free, but Lucas Blöcker reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 53rd minute, Ermegildo Oliverio ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Cristi Miheș was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-0. Armada's Cristi Miheș played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Corey Alonso in the 57th minute of play. In the 62nd minute of the match AUSTRAL BOWLING CLUB got a corner. Armada's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Zühtü Onursev ran over to the corner to take the kick. 69 minutes into the match, AUSTRAL BOWLING CLUB's Joakim Damm sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Cristi Miheș narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Filomeno Igon could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 73rd minute of the match, but Lucas Blöcker made a huge save. With a little luck, AUSTRAL BOWLING CLUB's Lucas Blöcker got control of the ball when Róbert Benkó tried to sneak it across the goal line. A sloppy throw-in by Cristian Anastasiu in the 79th minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by AUSTRAL BOWLING CLUB's Zühtü Onursev. Filomeno Igon could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 80th minute of the match, but Lucas Blöcker made a huge save. The crowd rose to their feet as Róbert Benkó kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Lucas Blöcker. That made the score 2-1 in the 80 minute of play. 83 minutes into the match, Filomeno Igon had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Lucas Blöcker. AUSTRAL BOWLING CLUB's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Filomeno Igon was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-2. An unexpectedly hard shot by Joakim Damm in the 86th minute of play forced Armada's goalkeeper Cristi Miheș to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Filomeno Igon could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 89th minute of the match, but Lucas Blöcker made a huge save. When Armada's Róbert Benkó in the 89th minute got a chance for a shot 89th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye AUSTRAL BOWLING CLUB's goalie prevented a goal. Cristi Miheș made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Joakim Damm in the 91st minute of play. In the 92nd minute AUSTRAL BOWLING CLUB were awarded a corner. Zühtü Onursev went to the cornerflag to take it. Cristi Miheș took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Damian Argina, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Joakim Damm struck a weak shot in the 95th minute. Cristi Miheș didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for AUSTRAL BOWLING CLUB.
