previous 3/10 next 5/10  Palmeira 1 - 0 Luizao (367364646)

33769 spectators arrived at Novo Ventín, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Ābrams Belovs was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Pablo Donaire and Sem Avezaat. Palmeira started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Dubois - Zarić, Urries, Cordomí - de Jutter, Painevilu, Gouwy, Yecora, Köktaş - Madoz, Monolo.

Luizao decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. Starters: Pulido - Echeverz, Amazonense, Della Rosa, Cameselle - Federan, Alkemade, Liljenén, Castiçal, Moro - Rigo.

Palmeira preferred to finish off their attacks from a distance. 12 minutes into the game, J. Rigo almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. Luizao claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 56 percent.

After 56 minutes Palmeira's E. Cordomí contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. Palmeira's slick passing moves completely confused the defence after 56 minutes, but thanks to M. Pulido's miraculous save from J. Urries's long shot the score remained unchanged. It wasn't a pretty goal, but the free kick by E. Monolo after 58 minutes somehow found its way past the keeper. Palmeira takes the lead, 1 - 0! Palmeira had a great opportunity to score following a counterattack after 79 minutes, but C. Gouwy's shot from the left sailed high over the bar. J. Urries of Palmeira received a yellow card after 81 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Luizao, with 57 percent of the ball.

The most dominating Palmeira player was without a doubt C. Yecora. On the other hand, J. Urries's play was disheartening. D. Castiçal performed admirably for Luizao. However, M. Pulido made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 0.
