A.C.NDRU 2 - 0 Atletico (365990742)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and A.C.NDRU Arena saw a crowd turnout of 38568. Andreas Hasselling was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Salvatore Durand and Jan-Piet Jongkind. A.C.NDRU tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players took the field: Modenato - Sordini, Iragorri, Candia - Celarc, Catellini, Bresci, Musa, Lazić - Ūdris, Arca.

Atletico started off with a 4-5-1 lineup. They fielded: Zafferri - Lebeda, Andermann, Gayola, 啟漢 (Qihan) - Bek, Puonti, Tüpü, Forgani, Ramsey - Callier.

Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Atletico. With 3 minutes played F. Catellini almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. A.C.NDRU made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left Z. Lazić completely alone with keeper C. Zafferri, who made a spectacular block. A.C.NDRU's F. Catellini placed the ball right at his teammate's feet after a corner, but Z. Iragorri couldn't finish. A.C.NDRU had a chance to take the lead after V. Celarc's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 28 minutes. Halftime score was 0 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by A.C.NDRU, with 64 percent of the ball.

After 46 minutes, the Atletico coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving H. Andermann off the field. K. Ferin took his place. Many thought Z. Lazić ought to have been awarded a penalty 52 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around C. Zafferri after a determined run through the middle. Atletico's defence sent a ball soaring up the middle on a beautiful counterattack with 53 minutes gone, but A. Ramsey's finish was met by the reaching hands of the keeper. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, A. Bek got himself booked. The manager of Atletico was not happy. After some beautiful movement down the left wing, A. Ūdris scored for A.C.NDRU putting them ahead 1 - 0, after 77 minutes. With 77 minutes played, the Atletico coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. K. Haslberger came on, A. Ramsey had to leave the fray. S. Munkvold was called on to replace A.C.NDRU's Z. Iragorri after 79 minutes following a nasty collision. A. Ūdris had a fantastic opportunity to put A.C.NDRU up another goal 83 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. After 84 minutes, L. Bresci put A.C.NDRU ahead 2 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. A.C.NDRU enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 65 percent of possession.

F. Arca performed admirably for A.C.NDRU. S. Munkvold turned in a dismal performance, however. Atletico's best player was D. Callier. On the other hand, K. Ferin's play was disheartening. The match ends 2 - 0.
