WinFast 1 - 1 SORRY (365274679)

A scorching day at CAMPUL NOU, where 38077 spectators were in place for today's match. Christian Neubauer was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Vasily Fatkin and Christian Magnusson. WinFast had chosen a strategic 5-3-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Buican - Castro, Pleşa, López Rodríguez, Goicoechea, Panchevici - Mastropasqua, van Assendelft, Jourdain - Urwin, Fterougas.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for SORRY. They fielded: Westman - Niemeijer, Invernizzi, Petrashevskiy - Vlaicu, Bostad, Josi, Tibi, Jarczok - Pomázi, Haţegan.

WinFast clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. SORRY clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. 1 minutes had elapsed when a great chance for WinFast to take the lead after a good cross from the right found S. Fterougas alone with the keeper, but he chipped it to the wrong side of the post. WinFast created a good opportunity to score 9 minutes into the match when P. Panchevici's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. R. Mastropasqua could have put WinFast into the lead after 16 minutes, but the free kick went just wide. 0 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to WinFast, who controlled the ball 53 percent of the time.

As usual, P. Invernizzi tried to use his strength and hard work for the benefit of the team, but the heat hit him hard and he couldn't keep pace at all. Some great play up the middle by WinFast led to a chance for P. Panchevici to score after 48 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. The referee showed SORRY's S. Tibi the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. After 81 minutes, WinFast sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached D. López Rodríguez, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 1 - 0. Perseverence paid off for SORRY, as their P. Josi equalised making it 1 - 1 with a fabulous free kick. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by WinFast, with 56 percent of the ball.

Most important WinFast player was L. Jourdain. D. López Rodríguez on the other hand, had a terrible day. SORRY's best player was S. Haţegan. S. Vlaicu turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 1.
