Pantera 2 - 0 at.catala (367357030)

Dark skies made the crowd of 28513 at Nou Pantera estadi a little nervous, but the rain held off. Leif Persson was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Johannes Bülk and Mårten Ingesson. Pantera had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. The following players took the field: Dirkzwager - Serrano, Garola, Benegas - El-Basim, Yanez, Lavi, Hauser - Novoa, Lanhoso, Bravo.

at.catala decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: García Casielles - Baleira, de Bever, Tarragó - Mariño, Esteñoz, Zurita Delgado, Gandala, Tortosa - Molnár, Goulart.

at.catala mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. The referee showed at.catala's À. Tortosa the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. A. Dirkzwager's knee will be throbbing for days, but thankfully for Pantera, he bravely continued in the match. With 13 minutes played, Pantera's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to B. Novoa he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 1 - 0. 24 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as R. Bravo broke through, making the score 2 - 0 for Pantera. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 0. Pantera claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 60 percent.

A. Goulart of at.catala was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. After 77 minutes, Pantera's R. Garola fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! J. Zurita Delgado's lack of experience almost gave Pantera a goal after 79 minutes, but the shot went right into the keeper's arms. With 80 minutes played, Pantera's B. Novoa almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Pantera, with 58 percent of the ball.

Pantera's top performer was clearly A. Yanez. On the other hand, J. Lanhoso's play was disheartening. Most important at.catala player was B. Molnár. E. Mariño on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 0.
