őrdögök 0 - 11 Pitonok (298610570)

Dark skies made the crowd of 12000 at Daráló Aréna a little nervous, but the rain held off. Goran Tankosić was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Konstantin Farthofer and Martin Alexander Wattenscheid. őrdögök had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players took the field: Sziegl - Balla, Wegener, Konczalski - Mészáros, Hidi, Faragó, Romhányi, Caşcaval - Turkulainen, Pittalis.

Pitonok tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. They fielded: Bigas - Koppel, Gradoli, Córdova - Kuang, Galambos, Jalsovszky, Montemurro, Basto - Baboss, Botija.

őrdögök mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. Á. Baboss earned a rousing chorus of cheers from his fans as he seemed to come out of nowhere after 23 minutes to intercept the ball and put it in the back of the net for Pitonok. 0 - 1. After 24 minutes, Pitonok's F. Botija burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. Some fine movement on the left led to a Pitonok goal after 29 minutes, making it 0 - 3. D. Kuang was noted down as the scorer. The visitors' G. Montemurro took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 33 minutes into the match. 0 - 4 for Pitonok. Confident in their lead, Pitonok's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. A drive down the left side allowed G. Jalsovszky to get in close and score another goal for Pitonok after 35 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 5. The referee signalled a penalty 36 minutes into the game following an offence which looked like it was outside the box. C. Córdova knocked it home to make the score 0 - 6. Halftime score was 0 - 6. Pitonok claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 83 percent.

Pitonok increased their lead after 47 minutes when F. Botija broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 7, much to the home crowd's dismay. After 61 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for G. Jalsovszky who increased Pitonok's lead to 0 - 8. After 65 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave F. Botija a chance to increase the lead for Pitonok, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 9. That made three goals for F. Botija and he was marked down for the hat trick. With 71 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed Á. Baboss of Pitonok to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 10. After 77 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed Á. Baboss to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 11. At that, Á. Baboss was noted down for a hat trick! Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Pitonok, with 81 percent of the ball.

P. Pittalis performed admirably for őrdögök. J. Mészáros on the other hand, had a terrible day. Pitonok's top performer was clearly G. Montemurro. I. Basto was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 11.
