VACCHEDELWEST 1 - 4 Saints (188728549)

The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 70000 had shown up at Stadio Moretti di Udine for the match. Gabriel Pedrosa was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Yrjänä Alkula and Philippe Sanchez. VACCHEDELWEST tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. They fielded: Trawicki - Capra, Lamaresca, Corvaglia - Gala, Manfredi, Domingues, Lohtari, Luna - Zampol, Soresi.

Saints had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Strother - Brigatti, Scagliarini, Lorne - Hong-Jye, Brandão, Morawetz, Podvršnik, Predovan - Gil, Peiteado.

After 6 minutes, Saints's K. Predovan made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. With 23 minutes played, VACCHEDELWEST's G. Luna found an opening in the visitors' left side defence, but his shot was handled easily by the keeper. G. Luna's early cross saw the defenders caught out of position and the alert M. Zampol was able to pounce and roll the ball past the hapless goalkeeper to score for VACCHEDELWEST. 1 - 1. E. Trawicki looked great 26 minutes into the match after stopping a shot from the middle of the penalty area from the visitors' M. Morawetz. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 1. Saints had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.

VACCHEDELWEST had a good opportunity to take the lead as M. Gala came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of S. Strother. The terraces were silenced after 77 minutes when Saints's A. Peiteado put the guests ahead 1 - 2, following an attack on the right. As the match clock reached 90 minutes, VACCHEDELWEST's organisation began to suffer due to a lack of experience. After 90 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for V. Podvršnik who increased Saints's lead to 1 - 3. After 90 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed W. Hong-Jye to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 1 - 4. Possession in this half belonged to Saints, who controlled the ball 64 percent of the time.

E. Trawicki performed admirably for VACCHEDELWEST. However, M. Corvaglia made a disastrous appearance. M. Gil performed admirably for Saints. A. Peiteado turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 4.
