Kansas 0 - 2 Sanfrattamo (350835753)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Kansas City Stadium saw a crowd turnout of 14000. Gílson Luz was the appointed referee. Kansas decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Caiazzo - Emmeloord, Drabek, Rodríguez - Valnoha, Zsakula, Heltborg, Hermans, Fortier - Ranocchi, Bizzini.

Sanfrattamo tactics involved an interesting 5-3-2 combination. They fielded: Cardoso - Maznin, Wullf, Mandreoli, Lipovsky, Hangartner - Sørensen, Pop, Pechini - Peres, Pries.

Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Sanfrattamo. Kansas were very close to putting themselves one up after 11 minutes as A. Ranocchi got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. With the clock showing 23 minutes played, a great pass from the defensive line of Sanfrattamo resulted in a counterattack that was smoothly brought under control by I. Maznin in the centre of the opposition's penalty area, but his finish went high. With 29 minutes played, A. Ranocchi of Kansas fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. With 38 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of Sanfrattamo resulted in a counterattack that set A. Hangartner free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save. Kansas's M. Bizzini got himself booked for a foul. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. Kansas had most of the ball, with 80 percent of possession.

F. Pries knocked one home from a counterattack down the right wing, making the score 0 - 1 after 66 minutes. With 85 minutes played, Kansas's M. Bizzini found an opening in the visitors' left side defence, but his shot was handled easily by the keeper. The referee showed Kansas's S. Rodríguez the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. After 89 minutes, Kansas switched D. Fortier with R. Lenzi, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. Kansas needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 89 minutes R. Hermans made way for M. Vaaranen. After 89 minutes, the defensive line of Sanfrattamo created a counterattack through the middle that gave H. Wullf a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. M. Bizzini knew he was in trouble after hacking down an opponent. Despite his pleading with the referee, the Kansas player was shown a second yellow card and dismissed from the game. Sanfrattamo's A. Peres went down after a savage challenge, but could continue playing after some medical attention. Coming in from the right, Sanfrattamo had a good opportunity to convert on a counterattack after 89 minutes, but T. Lipovsky's attempt to finish was easily stopped. A. Mandreoli of Sanfrattamo seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 0 - 2 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by A. Peres. With 89 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, G. Zsakula needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Kansas, with 81 percent of the ball.

G. Zsakula performed admirably for Kansas. R. Lenzi on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Sanfrattamo player was A. Peres. On the other hand, F. Pries's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 2.
