Edelrot 1 - 0 Hidalgo (366422619)

21581 spectators arrived at Trethaxn Acker, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Slobodan Popović was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Remi Rouwenhorst and Hans Ottowitz. Edelrot had chosen a strategic 5-4-1 formation. Lineup: Conde - Naccari, Contenti, Bizzini, Dal Lago, Boccalatte - Tarroni, Tavernier, Gattuso, Capra - Brusa.

Hidalgo tactics involved an interesting 5-3-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Tzalik - Yeo, Constant, Beiza, Tchernyshenko, Habermeyer - Torcque, Bortolato, Chiarelli - Hajizadeh, Grison.

Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Edelrot. The Edelrot free kick 35 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of G. Tarroni, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 1 - 0! Halftime score was 1 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to Hidalgo, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

A foul called during a Edelrot counterattack resulted in a great chance to score, but B. Brusa's shot rattled off the post. With 69 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, G. Yeo needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. Good work by the Edelrot defensive line after 77 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found L. Naccari alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Hidalgo, with 53 percent of the ball.

The most dominating Edelrot player was without a doubt A. Boccalatte. T. Capra was a disappointment, however. H. Hajizadeh performed admirably for Hidalgo. S. Tzalik turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 0.
