Cup preleminary 1st leg: FC Black Swan (Lvl 5, Q 42.5) - FC Kneipenkick (Lvl 4, Q 34.5)
Today FC Kneipenkick played FC Black Swan from Germany, massive favorite to reach the next round. Black Swan fielded a 4-1-4-1, FCK responded with a 3-2-3-1-1 parking the bus tactics.



The home team tried to break our defense from the first minute on, but Kneipenkicks DMCs and defenders threw themselves brave into the shots and DC Drabinova made a name as a header beast after several corners. In the second part of the first half Kneipenkick started first counter attacks. Black Swans midfielder Nwgat-Mapoh wanted to set a sign and brought Tonseth into hospital (34.), only yellow for this foul. FCK reacted and brought Sikora, a promising new signing (18 years DMC, 4*, fast developer) and moved DMC/MC Diaz-Rahi from DMC to MC. Black Swan countinued their pressing, but that left space for Kunz, who was fouled in the box. Penaltiy for FC Kneipenkick (42.). Decker took the ball and showed no nerves against the opponents penalty-save specialist, 0-1 for FCK. With this score both teams went into the break. Black Swan took his DMC out and fielded a AMC to make more pressure. Attack after attack ran on FCKs goal, but in minute 62 another counter attack came through, Kunz came in the clear, outplayed the keeper and made it 2-0. Black Swam went all-offensive at costs of an illegal formation in the last minutes, but the score remained 0-2.
