Caos 1 - 3 Damotamo (349197396)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Sultanes del Futbol FC Arena saw a crowd turnout of 20349. Gregor Theer was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Tonni Steffansen and Dario Boumans. Caos had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Jesionowski - Faria, Maikuhle, Deschins - Peña Serrano, Bourne, das Almas, Gullit, Buixaderas - Vlad, da Guarda.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Damotamo. Starters: Ezcay - Noya, Larrauri, Vicuña, Haro - Cabeça, Ezcarte, Moro, Antunes - Gutiérrez, Gil.

Pressing was the tactic of the day for Caos. After 16 minutes, following yet another great corner, F. Gullit's flick on at the near post reached P. Buixaderas, who was just wide with his snapshot - the ball went out for a goal kick. Down the middle came L. Gil, making a fantastic play that nearly had Damotamo take the lead after 30 minutes, but R. Jesionowski preserved the tie. After a savage shot that could only be parried by the keeper, M. Vlad demonstrated his experience by being in just the right place to slot home the rebound. His goal for Caos 33 minutes into the match made the score 1 - 0. The visitors didn't give in and, after 40 minutes, C. Cabeça got through the home side's central line of defence, rolling in the equaliser to make it 1 - 1. 1 - 1 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to Damotamo, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

56 minutes into the game, S. Gutiérrez had a great chance to put his team ahead, but his kick from the left went wide. Damotamo took the lead after 61 minutes making the score 1 - 2. S. Gutiérrez placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. Some fine movement on the left led to a Damotamo goal after 63 minutes, making it 1 - 3. S. Gutiérrez was noted down as the scorer. S. Gutiérrez could have put his team up another goal 69 minutes into the game, after a rush down the left, but his closing shot hit the post. Damotamo had most of the ball, with 58 percent of possession.

M. Vlad performed admirably for Caos. On the other hand, P. Buixaderas's play was disheartening. Damotamo's top performer was clearly L. Gil. V. Vicuña turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 3.
