Cisplatina 0 - 4 Figueirense (330272934)

A scorching day at Quantum Stadium, where 12000 spectators were in place for today's match. Alexej Nejedlý was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Sinforoso Achoqalla and Wes Rocha. Cisplatina tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. The following players took the field: Cambra - Costela, Pinto, Amazonense, Negreiros - Cisco, Madureira, Kondo, Patão - do Aquino, Falcão.

Figueirense decided to use a 5-4-1 set up. Lineup: de Paiva - Meutstege, Ciano, Sidorski, Brahe, North - Jacó, Job, Kalvo, Arsenis - Ezerietis.

Figueirense saw most attack opportunities on the wings. Figueirense took the lead 25 minutes into the game, making the score 0 - 1 after some elegant movement down the middle. M. Ezerietis was the scorer. With 26 minutes played, S. Meutstege of Figueirense fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. 40 minutes into the game, Cisplatina had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to solid. 42 minutes into the game, Figueirense worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. After 43 minutes a very unfortunate collision in the penalty area led to Cisplatina's E. Kondo being carried off the pitch and replaced by 光. 小川 (Ogawa). 0 - 1 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to Figueirense, who controlled the ball 78 percent of the time.

During the break, Cisplatina's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to excellent organisation. M. Ezerietis increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 2. After this, you could see that the players of Figueirense were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. 79 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 3 as M. Ezerietis finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. This third goal completed a hattrick for M. Ezerietis. The heat made it a terrible day for F. Negreiros, who seemed unable to keep up with the other players. V. North was, after 85 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper I. Cambra made the save. P. Job received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 86 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 4. The Figueirense fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. K. Brahe could have put his team up another goal 87 minutes into the game, after a rush down the left, but his closing shot hit the post. 88 minutes into the game, M. Ciano had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came T. Zierer. 89 minutes in, Cisplatina appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only solid. Figueirense had most of the ball, with 82 percent of possession.

Cisplatina's best player was F. Negreiros. 光. 小川 (Ogawa) on the other hand, had a terrible day. Figueirense's top performer was clearly T. Zierer. However, M. de Paiva made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 4.
