f.c. 8 - 1 ELRINGO (366154286)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Fortino Pontino saw a crowd turnout of 19282. Ibro Ukic was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Przemysław Matecki and Marcin Mozol. f.c. decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Morillo - Touza, Antinori, Tarzia - Greeve, Dikanskiy, Blag, Panciu, Baroffio - Pecci, D'Arrigo.

ELRINGO tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players took the field: Garrido - Dal Mutto, Wojewodzic, Poulain - Thurmond, Gutiérrez, Infrangibilis, Elbgau, Fraternale - Kustarev, Salamandra.

ELRINGO seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. Given a free kick close to the byline, f.c. tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let M. Pecci slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 1 - 0, 17 minutes into the game. G. D'Arrigo of f.c. displayed some of his fantastic technical abilities when he brought the ball down neatly using his instep before nutmegging the bewildered F. Gutiérrez and smashing an unstoppable shot past the goalkeeper to make it 2 - 0. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. S. Baroffio squirmed through their central defence after 32 minutes, increasing the lead to 3 - 0. M. Antinori of f.c. received a yellow card after 35 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. G. D'Arrigo increased the lead for f.c. to 4 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in f.c.'s S. Tarzia increasing the lead to 5 - 0. After this, you could see that the players of f.c. were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. 5 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to f.c., who controlled the ball 56 percent of the time.

D. Blag could have increased the lead after 55 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, A. Panciu got himself booked. The manager of f.c. was not happy. With 62 minutes played, f.c. put themselves up 6 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to M. Antinori, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. A well-placed free kick by ELRINGO's J. Elbgau reduced the lead to 6 - 1. S. Baroffio of f.c. was able to make an impressive rush past the sluggish M. Wojewodzic, which resulted in a goal making the score 7 - 1. f.c.'s L. Dikanskiy left the field after 76 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was P. Pettersen. f.c. put themselves up 8 - 1 when D. Blag broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by f.c., with 52 percent of the ball.

f.c.'s top performer was clearly M. Pecci. S. Tarzia on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating ELRINGO player was without a doubt J. Elbgau. E. Dal Mutto was a disappointment, however. The match ends 8 - 1.
