BARBUNASA 2 - 1 Gnappo (366257482)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and LA PROVINCIA saw a crowd turnout of 14365. Vilmos Kövecses was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Stéphane Jeanneteau and Ugo Solazzo. BARBUNASA had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Baroffio - Scarsoglio, Renzi, Arestizabal - Kukba, Salaorni, Renucci Badiali, Cucija, Cavalcanti - Hrepić, Pinzi.

Gnappo decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Viala - Pallesen, Zaniolo, Ezpeleta - Panepinto, Fröhler, Seymus, Ismair, Brannetti - Frezzolino, Scattone.

BARBUNASA had a good opportunity to take the lead as F. Renucci Badiali came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of P. Viala. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. BARBUNASA enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 62 percent of possession.

The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave V. Scarsoglio from BARBUNASA a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 75 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Unfortunately for Gnappo, E. Zaniolo was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. M. Tedeschi replaced him. M. Arestizabal gave BARBUNASA the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0 After 78 minutes, the visitors tied it up at 1 - 1 when a fantastic pass from the left was finished off by Ó. Ezpeleta. Gnappo's G. Scattone left the field after 79 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was G. Gilli. 80 minutes into the match and the home team took a 2 - 1 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for BARBUNASA was F. Pinzi. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by BARBUNASA, with 67 percent of the ball.

BARBUNASA's top performer was clearly V. Scarsoglio. V. Baroffio turned in a dismal performance, however. Gnappo's best player was M. Frezzolino. M. Tedeschi was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 1.
