FERRA 2 - 1 fantabaffo (381788249)

29003 punters turned up at Delle Alpi, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Jaromír Šebesta was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Camille Boomsma and José Antonio Tezanos. A 4-5-1 alignment was the formation of choice for FERRA. Lineup: Vogel - Alpiger, Castilla, Rossi, Mrázek - Ragona, Strain, Monforte, Iordache, Promitzer - Vasiliu.

fantabaffo decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. The following players took the field: Nicula - Viilos, Vanelli Coralli, Riedel - Grevinga, Meland, Argaud, Igushkin - Villaggio, Feddersen, Grigore.

The wings were the focus of most of FERRA's attacks today. FERRA had to make a substitution after 14 minutes. J. Alpiger limped off the field and was replaced by E. Spotti. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 24 minutes allowed G. Vanelli Coralli to score for fantabaffo. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. With 33 minutes played, after a good run down the left, V. Vasiliu went down looking for a penalty after a challenge from the visitors' right fullback, but the referee waved play on, and later warned him for diving. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. FERRA enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 59 percent of possession.

The FERRA free kick 65 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of F. Iordache, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 1 - 1! F. Castilla gave FERRA the lead with a beautiful free kick after 87 minutes. 2 - 1! Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by FERRA, with 60 percent of the ball.

Most important FERRA player was A. Ragona. E. Spotti was a disappointment, however. The most dominating fantabaffo player was without a doubt G. Villaggio. G. Meland turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 2 - 1.
