gazzetta 5 - 0 USCremonese (350574668)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and La bombonera saw a crowd turnout of 34734. Kalil Ismail was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Giovanni Puissant and Árpád Schindler. Fans of both teams had been eagerly awaiting this Lombardia derby and were doing their best to outshout their opponents. gazzetta had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Kozma - Calamandrei, Capannolo, Tuomenoksa - Bisegna, Beltrame, Migliavacca, Korkiamäki, Montuori - Canali, Finocchiaro.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for USCremonese. They fielded: Llanos - Ríos, Kalan, Woestenburg - Konterman, Ramírez Guzmán, Škop, Buldakov, Seremetis - Movileanu, Villa.

Given a free kick close to the byline, gazzetta tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let V. Calamandrei slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 1 - 0, 30 minutes into the game. After 38 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and S. Migliavacca gave the gazzetta supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 2 - 0. Things were deteriorating for the away team as gazzetta scored another to make it 3 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for F. Canali after 41 minutes. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in gazzetta's R. Capannolo increasing the lead to 4 - 0. At this point, it was obvious that the players of gazzetta lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. Halftime score was 4 - 0. gazzetta enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

49 minutes into the game, gazzetta were awarded a penalty that S. Korkiamäki turned into 5 - 0 without a problem. S. Korkiamäki wanted to play on, but the gazzetta coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 55 minutes into the game by G. Favaretto. A questionable free kick call just outside the home side's penalty area gave USCremonese a chance at reducing the score 63 minutes into the match. In the end, the ball went wide. The referee showed USCremonese's N. Woestenburg the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. 76 minutes into the game, USCremonese's attack got through on the right, but C. Konterman couldn't handle the ball and his feeble kick wound up in the keeper's arms. gazzetta's J. Beltrame saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 77 minutes. Possession in this half belonged to gazzetta, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

Most important gazzetta player was C. Finocchiaro. R. Capannolo was a disappointment, however. USCremonese's top performer was clearly I. Movileanu. However, E. Seremetis made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 5 - 0.
