Barón 0 - 0 tarzanitos (392578247)

572 fans braved the pouring rain at Smoking Arena. Olgierd Radler was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Trond Espedal and Cedric Assmann. Barón decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Moreno Diez - Villares, Villamayor, de la Puerta - Galván, Casamayor, Thum, Iriberri, Szívós - Milán, Cicuta.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for tarzanitos. The following players took the field: Zweibrücken - Monceau, Čabrić, Picollà, Vallina - Martínez Lozano, Calveri, Garezaybar, Laidet - Iribago, Castañedo.

Barón focused on getting players in position for long range shots. tarzanitos clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. C. Calveri received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 30 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. With 43 minutes played, P. Vallina of tarzanitos fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. Some great play up the middle by Barón led to a chance for C. Cicuta to score after 43 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. Barón enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 59 percent of possession.

E. Laidet had a good try after 58 minutes, coming in on a fine move from the left, but the ball went wide. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, K. Čabrić got himself booked. The manager of tarzanitos was not happy. tarzanitos had to make a substitution after 60 minutes. O. Zweibrücken limped off the field and was replaced by I. Braicău. A. Garezaybar of tarzanitos received a yellow card after 63 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. It was obvious that the tactic of the day for Barón was to go for long shots, but in order to score they have to do better than the shooting attempt from F. Villares after 66 minutes, which was a total failure. P. Milán, who often relies on his speed, had a rotten day on the drenched grass. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Barón, with 58 percent of the ball.

Barón's top performer was clearly C. Cicuta. However, F. Villares made a disastrous appearance. Most important tarzanitos player was I. Braicău. E. Laidet was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 0.
