VINCE 3 - 1 Viterbese (366267531)

The 17999 fans in attendance at PIAGNISTEO were roasting in the hot sun. Francisco Jesús Meléndez was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Américo Bastos and Józef Korgol. VINCE had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Starters: Palma - Civerio, Vitanov, Luume - Fabra, de Cordoue, Kızgın, Perrot, Laevens - Nużyński, Moana.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Viterbese. The following players had been chosen: Jauslin - Morroto, Gedikbay, Klima - Burgaud, De Bettio, Sin, Kinzl, Żuralski - Märk, Gogov.

Q. Palma looked great 4 minutes into the match after stopping a shot from the middle of the penalty area from the visitors' A. Morroto. VINCE had a good opportunity to take the lead as G. Laevens came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of N. Jauslin. The sun seemed to put G. Laevens in a great mood, and he showed off his technical skills all match long. G. Animento was called on to replace Viterbese's N. Jauslin after 30 minutes following a nasty collision. After 35 minutes, Viterbese raised their score by one when W. Żuralski's dangerous low cross was cleverly tucked in at the near post by H. Märk. 0 - 1. Following a foul after 38 minutes, VINCE got themselves a free kick just outside the penalty area. A. Moana levelled the scoreline - 1 - 1. 1 - 1 was the halftime score. VINCE claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 59 percent.

I. de Cordoue was the first to reach the corner kick, but his header was blocked by the keeper. However, VINCE's A. Civerio managed to get hold of the rebound and tucked the ball into the empty net. 2 - 1 VINCE's J. Nużyński increased the lead to 3 - 1, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 59 minutes. After 61 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by V. Perrot might have resulted in another goal for VINCE. However, G. Animento made a spectacular save. Viterbese needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 63 minutes J. Burgaud made way for Y. Voulgarakis. C. Sin had a couple of good opportunities to reply, but the home team's keeper Q. Palma was simply unbeatable. A. Moana had a fantastic opportunity to put VINCE up another goal 70 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by VINCE, with 56 percent of the ball.

VINCE's top performer was clearly V. Kızgın. On the other hand, Q. Palma's play was disheartening. Viterbese's best player was C. Sin. G. Animento on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 1.
