1.round

Celta (Dekatron) - Everton (Dernek) 1:3 (0:1)

Despite Everton showed pretty bad form in prepare friendly games, they started this league very convincing and strong. Lukaku scored hat-trick, and running himself already for first goalscorrer place in league. First goal came with lot of luck - after Lukaku's shot, ball hit one Celta's defender and changed direction which confused goalkeeper. Match was very open, and both sides had lot of good chances, but Everton took their chances and deservly win. Congrats Dernek.

 

Hannover 96 (Dernek) - Olympique Marseille (Dekatron) 1:0 (1:0)

Tough home turf in Hannover. Altough Marseille came here like a slightly favourite, they didn't manage to score a single goal. Goal was scored by Karaman in dying moment of first half, but it looked like ghost/invisible player kick ball with head  - (u will see that in highlights video). Maybe small lag produced this, but anyhow Marseille had their chances in first half, and they missed some great opportunity to score a goal. Second half wasn't very intresting, and Hannover managed to keep minimal lead till the end of game. Dernek started perfectly this league, but it's only beginning  I wait him in rematches.

Nice review Deki, just about that goal, certainly there was something wrong with this moment in game, but the goal was clear. Stindl got to deep left of Marseille field, turned back pass for Pander to cross to well positioned Karamans header. On my computer everything looking clear and without lag, only one thing is strange, the Pander didn't got the assistance which wasn't what I saw in replay.
  Hanover proved what I thought about them, strong defence skills, with well balanced attack and few technically perfect and fast midfielders.
  Marseille missed several great chances in first half and got punished on the end of it.

Everton(Dernek)   -  West Ham(Arturo Bandini)  2 : 2 (0:1)

  After great performance in Vigo, Everton meet their home league opponents and it was first "official" online game between Dernek & Arturo Bandini.
  I can't remember did the first half ended with 0:2, but surely West Ham led with two goals from Carlton Cole quite early in second half. It was, in both cases, few quick short passes before Cole scores.
 Then Dernek switched full attack and defense pressure for practically entire second half. That resulted in couple heartbreaking situations in goalkeepers 5 meters. In two occasions the ball was at the goal line, but Lukaku just couldn't push it. 
 Although Everton played really well, in 80. minute nobody believed they could return. In 85. minute Lukaku (his 4th goal at league) get the fast long ball from his side field and run at West Ham goal. From some 25 meters he unleashed bullet kick in left low corner of keepers net 1-2.
 Now the tension was at the highest but one Everton attack and nothing changed, we get into injury time. Everton tried again but the ball went to goalkeeper and than, perhaps it was really tense, it should be easy kick, Arturo kick the ball uncontrolled. From right side trow in for  Garret Barry to cross in the middle of goal keepers field where Ross Barlkeys (who was the MVP of the game) header even the result 2:2. As Arturo and I agreed it was deserved but still, in 84th minute it was 0:2.
Shots at goal 17(9) Everton, 12(7) West Ham.
Great heartbreaking game.
