Diablos_fC 10 - 0 Miami (154645403)

Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 27889 at "La Caldera del Diablo" today. Victor Harris was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Edilberto Brotfeld and Rubén Zapatero. Diablos_fC tactics involved an interesting 3-4-3 combination. Lineup: Askari - Verschoor, Gács, Palmén - García Escudero, Amdi Nielsen, Sermeter, Boeswald-Reinhardt - Duarte, Putter, Skinderholm.

A 4-3-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Miami. The following players took the field: Lejarazu - Noriega, Sotelo, Montañez, Jácome - Quiroga, Echeverría, Foix - Gil, Durutürk, Larraquy.

It was an obvious ambition of Diablos_fC to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. A well placed corner kick from T. Verschoor was followed by K. Gács's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for Diablos_fC, the score now 1 - 0. Diablos_fC's E. Putter increased the lead to 2 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 22 minutes. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, K. Gil got himself booked. The manager of Miami was not happy. E. Putter seemed to be impossibly far from the goal, but he looked up and bang! A real cracker for Diablos_fC after 35 minutes. 3 - 0. With 36 minutes played, Diablos_fC put themselves up 4 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to E. Skinderholm, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. With 41 minutes played, Diablos_fC put themselves up 5 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to X. García Escudero, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. By now, the players in Diablos_fC felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. With 42 minutes played, Diablos_fC put themselves up 6 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to X. García Escudero, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. A. Duarte increased the lead for Diablos_fC to 7 - 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! The teams went for the halftime break at 7 - 0. Diablos_fC claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 78 percent.

48 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as T. Boeswald-Reinhardt broke through, making the score 8 - 0 for Diablos_fC. L. Sermeter had a fantastic opportunity to put Diablos_fC up another goal 50 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. G. Quiroga of Miami was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. G. Quiroga's lack of experience almost gave Diablos_fC a goal after 76 minutes, but the shot went right into the keeper's arms. Diablos_fC increased the lead as A. Duarte struck to make the score 9 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. L. Sermeter unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. E. Putter increased the lead for Diablos_fC to 10 - 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! That made three goals for E. Putter and he was marked down for the hat trick. Diablos_fC claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 82 percent.

G. Amdi Nielsen performed admirably for Diablos_fC. E. Skinderholm was a disappointment, however. Most important Miami player was R. Sotelo. R. Noriega turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 10 - 0.
