F.C.MINGOSH 3 - 1 Ndo (366264758)

It was an exceptionally sunny day for the crowd of 15555 that came out to San Sone. Charles Duncan was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Anders Karlsen and Péter Erőss. F.C.MINGOSH started off with a 2-5-3 lineup. The following players took the field: Troilo - Skobejowski, Baksa - Gava, Krause, Garmendia, D'Ambrosio, Carafa - Henriksen, Ramírez, Cansever.

A 2-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Ndo. The following players had been chosen: Falix - Marchiol, Mallafré - Gilardi, Caravita, Guereca, Arcellotti, Saavedra - Mariano, Doronzo.

After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, F. Caravita got himself booked. The manager of Ndo was not happy. M. Arcellotti enjoyed the sunshine and demonstrated his stunning technique over and over again. Ndo's I. Saavedra could have put the guests one up after 26 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but L. Troilo was as fast as a snake, grabbing the ball from under his nose. 27 minutes into the game, Ndo had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to inadequate. F.C.MINGOSH created a good opportunity to score 29 minutes into the match when J. Ramírez's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. Ndo took the lead after 39 minutes making the score 0 - 1. I. Saavedra placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. With the crowd on their feet chanting wildly, some great moves down the right hand side after 40 minutes gave F.C.MINGOSH a wonderful opportunity to level the score, and M. Krause stepped up to the challenge. 1 - 1 The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to F.C.MINGOSH, who controlled the ball 61 percent of the time.

The Ndo players spent the break getting a rerun of the team's tactical organisation and regained a solid organisation when the game started again. Many thought B. Henriksen ought to have been awarded a penalty 50 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around J. Falix after a determined run through the middle. After 69 minutes of play, M. Krause gave the home team a 2 - 1 lead after an attack coming in from the right. F.C.MINGOSH managed to extend their lead to 3 - 1 when Ş. Cansever cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. Confident in their lead, F.C.MINGOSH's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. 79 minutes into the game, Ndo seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a inadequate level of organisation. F.C.MINGOSH had most of the ball, with 62 percent of possession.

F.C.MINGOSH's best player was M. Krause. However, L. Troilo made a disastrous appearance. P. Mariano performed admirably for Ndo. S. Guereca on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 1.
