SCHIANTESE 0 - 0 PISELLONE (366397291)

A scorching day at bombeira stadium, where 21833 spectators were in place for today's match. Björn Magnusson was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jolan Niclaus and Claudiu Grigore. SCHIANTESE decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: Suontakanen - Scaldaferri, Rambone, Göktan - Piirtola, Appeldoorn, Nassimben, Vodolazskiy, Novák - van der Wetering, Buják.

PISELLONE had chosen a strategic 5-3-2 formation. The following players took the field: Yanchevskiy - Staffetius, Ruby, Rino, Gardie, Grokholskiy - Astner, Dag, Guedes - Dukai, Bandiera.

The sun seemed to put N. Gardie in a great mood, and he showed off his technical skills all match long. SCHIANTESE could have put themselves ahead after 40 minutes but O. Novák missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. PISELLONE's N. Gardie could have put the guests one up after 41 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but M. Suontakanen was as fast as a snake, grabbing the ball from under his nose. After a fine move down the middle S. Scaldaferri nearly gave the home side a goal after 43 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. It was 0 - 0 at the break. SCHIANTESE claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave P. Nassimben from SCHIANTESE a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 59 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! 62 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a PISELLONE substitution. P. Sol came on for S. Dag. With 67 minutes gone, K. Astner suddenly found himself completely free on the right wing when a counterattack by PISELLONE caught their opponents by surprise. Only a great save by the opposing keeper prevented him from scoring. With 71 minutes played R. Piirtola almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. SCHIANTESE enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of possession.

SCHIANTESE's top performer was clearly A. Rambone. M. Suontakanen was a disappointment, however. A. Guedes performed admirably for PISELLONE. V. Yanchevskiy turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 0.
