Hattrickapati 2 - 3 vayos (366185542)

Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 19850 at Hattrickapati f.c. Arena today. Pęcisław Langowski was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Joaquím Ramírez and Staszek Downarowicz. Hattrickapati had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Starters: Lazio - Brajović, Sánchez Ortega, Embún - Bérot, Dünnenberger, Säflind, Andersson, Abicht - Möhköi, Fuffolo.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for vayos. Lineup: Valdez - Brezak, Drewicz, Belaïd - Chevallier, Ambrosioni, Lardinois, Storgaard, Pereyra - Merlonghi, Roldán Lozano.

It was an obvious ambition of vayos to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. After 18 minutes, vayos sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached K. Storgaard, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 0 - 1. With the crowd on their feet chanting wildly, some great moves down the right hand side after 23 minutes gave Hattrickapati a wonderful opportunity to level the score, and C. Fuffolo stepped up to the challenge. 1 - 1 As B. Andersson had, completely unprovoked, swept the legs out from under an opponent in front of a linesman, the referee gave the Hattrickapati player a red card without batting an eyelid. Hattrickapati fans held their breath as J. Möhköi scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 2 - 1! The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 1. vayos enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 51 percent of possession.

Hattrickapati's A. Bérot was shown a yellow card after 53 minutes for slicing down an opponent. The visiting team's J. Roldán Lozano was able to score the 2 - 2 equaliser with a header 61 minutes into the match, after some good work on the right. The coach of Hattrickapati wanted to try to change things around after 72 minutes, and gave new tactical instructions. After a fine move down the middle J. Möhköi nearly gave the home side a goal after 73 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. 78 minutes into the match, the visiting vayos made the score 2 - 3 after F. Drewicz executed a perfect free kick. J. Roldán Lozano of vayos received a yellow card after 79 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. 81 minutes into the game, A. Bérot came close to levelling the score with a dangerous shot from the centre of the area that went just over the bar. With 84 minutes played, D. Belaïd of vayos fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. vayos's R. Valdez left the field after 85 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was M. Tarallo. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by vayos, with 53 percent of the ball.

The most dominating Hattrickapati player was without a doubt J. Möhköi. A. Bérot turned in a dismal performance, however. J. Lardinois performed admirably for vayos. M. Tarallo was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 3.
