Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 17000 at 7 STELLE DI OKUTO today. Jukka Piirala was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Luca Sindelfingen and Dragomir Ene. okuto tactics involved an interesting 4-4-1 combination. Lineup: Palosaari - Casanova, Tilgenkrug, Otuk, Georgeon - Nałęcz, Caleap, Magonara, Huijzer - Zaffarano.

Piallaenne decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: Pražský - Rendenbach, Plaksiy, Axelsen - Banu, Rambone, Castro, Montaiuti, Gruben - Vårdal, Aspener.

It was an obvious ambition of Piallaenne to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. Piallaenne had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. Piallaenne's A. Rambone gave the visitors a 0 - 1 lead after 4 minutes with a superb strike from the right. 8 minutes into the game, okuto had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to inadequate. Piallaenne's L. Gruben made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 13 minutes into the match. After rounding the keeper, he only had to place the ball in the unguarded goal when a defender slid in and cleared the ball off the line. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, D. Caleap got himself booked. The manager of okuto was not happy. After 25 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for F. Aspener who increased Piallaenne's lead to 0 - 2. A drive down the left side allowed F. Aspener to get in close and score another goal for Piallaenne after 26 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 3. Some fine movement on the left led to a Piallaenne goal after 44 minutes, making it 0 - 4. V. Banu was noted down as the scorer. 44 minutes in, okuto appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only inadequate. 0 - 4 was the halftime score. Piallaenne had most of the ball, with 86 percent of possession.

During the break, okuto's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to solid organisation. Some things can only be learned through experience, and D. Caleap should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting Piallaenne a goal with 57 minutes of the match played. With 61 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed J. Vårdal of Piallaenne to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 5. After this, you could see that the players of Piallaenne were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. 64 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 6 as B. Rendenbach finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. Encouraged by their lead, after 65 minutes the Piallaenne coach asked E. Plaksiy to change positions with B. Rendenbach. 74 minutes into the game, okuto seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to passable. L. Gruben's early cross saw the defenders caught out of position and the alert J. Vårdal was able to pounce and roll the ball past the hapless goalkeeper to score for Piallaenne. 0 - 7. Piallaenne increased their lead after 78 minutes when L. Gruben broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 8, much to the home crowd's dismay. A. Rambone of Piallaenne took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 80 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 9. 82 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 10 as E. Plaksiy finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. Piallaenne enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 86 percent of possession.

okuto's top performer was clearly F. Huijzer. P. Palosaari on the other hand, had a terrible day. P. Castro performed admirably for Piallaenne. B. Rendenbach turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 10.
