THCs 0 - 6 BrutalDeluxe1 (250309842)

18050 punters turned up at Ganja's Arena, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. David Serre was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Gayo Ellenbroek and Spartaco Gulisano. THCs tactics involved an interesting 4-5-1 combination. The following players had been chosen: Högholt - Størseth, Foppa, Goldsmith, Guillaume - Provenzano, Bizama, Lossmann, Yusuf, Machimbarrena - Contramestre.

BrutalDeluxe1 started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Starters: Mayorga - Fernández Grandoso, Jorquera, Toledano - Nogueira, Gómez, López, Fontanellas, Tuxans - Arauzo, Zabalza.

13 minutes into the game, J. Zabalza had a great chance to put his team ahead, but his kick from the left went wide. The referee showed BrutalDeluxe1's B. Fernández Grandoso the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. B. Fernández Grandoso sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from F. Gómez after 25 minutes of play, making the score 0 - 1. 26 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 2 as J. Zabalza finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. After 28 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave F. Arauzo a chance to increase the lead for BrutalDeluxe1, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 3. By now, the players in BrutalDeluxe1 felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. With 29 minutes played, J. Guillaume was very close to reducing the score for THCs with a low drive from the left, but a defender stuck his foot out just in the nick of time, blocking the shot to a corner. The coach of BrutalDeluxe1 was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 40 minutes, L. Lanzo came on for F. López. Content with how the game was proceeding, the BrutalDeluxe1 coach let M. Melonar replace A. Tuxans after 40 minutes. 0 - 3 was the score after the first half. BrutalDeluxe1 had most of the ball, with 57 percent of possession.

With 47 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed L. Lanzo of BrutalDeluxe1 to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 4. A drive down the left side allowed F. Arauzo to get in close and score another goal for BrutalDeluxe1 after 63 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 5. 64 minutes into the match, L. Lanzo came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. B. Fernández Grandoso left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 65 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. R. Piñeiro Majo was the replacement. M. Melonar of BrutalDeluxe1 took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 78 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 6. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave H. Nogueira from BrutalDeluxe1 a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 81 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! F. Högholt got a fingertip on M. Melonar's shot from the left 82 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by BrutalDeluxe1, with 57 percent of the ball.

Most important THCs player was M. Yusuf. L. Foppa was a disappointment, however. BrutalDeluxe1's best player was F. Arauzo. However, R. Toledano made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 6.
