Pomada 2 - 1 babich (282884458)

The 30100 fans in attendance at Donny Rios Stadium were roasting in the hot sun. Volker Beran-Lyde was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Cristoff Haiek and Augusto Alves. Pomada had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Toma - Lisowski, Cuis, Kaker - Senosiaín, Brahe, López, Casanova, Lurz - Escandon, Ballendux.

babich decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. The following players took the field: Matapozuelos - Fellbaum, Tamir, Mulvey - Rios, Josefsson, Sanz, Lacoste Vignalet - Contero, Palojärvi, Kosič.

31 minutes into the match, babich nearly took the lead, as A. Rios broke through on the right. V. Toma made the save, however. Halftime score was 0 - 0. Pomada claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

Pomada had a good opportunity to take the lead as M. Escandon came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of P. Matapozuelos. 63 minutes into the game, Pomada wanted to bring some new energy to their game. G. Ballendux gave M. Bertschinger a quick hug as he left the field. As the captain was no longer on the pitch, M. Bertschinger took over the role of being the Pomada captain. Pomada's J. Senosiaín got himself booked for a foul. A. Rios was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so babich's G. Straub had to come off the bench. With 80 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, P. Lisowski needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. The visiting O. Fellbaum was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 82 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. After a fatal mistake from the away team's right side defence 85 minutes into the match, an alert P. Lisowski bagged the ball for Pomada, levelling the score to 1 - 1. E. Lurz found it hard to catch his breath today in the stifling heat. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Pomada, with 55 percent of the ball.

Still tied after 90 minutes, the match continued into extra time. Always quick and a menace to his opponents, J. Senosiaín was very close to getting through after 96 minutes, but he could only put the ball into the keeper's arms. A free kick aimed at the keeper's far post almost gave babich the lead 107 minutes in, but the ball just wasn't able to squirm its way through the defensive wall. Pomada took the lead 112 minutes in, as M. Escandon broke through on the left and put the 2 - 1 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. What a dramatic win for Pomada! Pomada's top performer was clearly T. Brahe. P. Lisowski on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating babich player was without a doubt A. Sanz. However, G. Straub made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 1.
