Sporting 1 - 3 Perro (367406669)

The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 21525 had shown up at Coliseum Quini for the match. Silas Moos was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Emanuel Beney and Shlomi Moshe. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Sporting. The following players had been chosen: Galeano - de Oliveira, Storkow, Shpyrka - Pirović, Guimerà, Planas, Corn, Pettersen - Buonomo, Mecca.

Perro decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: Magnoni - Mikaelsson, Eisenhardt, Cubells - Heimgassen, Accardi, Donez, Malo García, Mena - Langereis, Casapaico.

Perro were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of Perro's H. Casapaico after 23 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 0 - 1 lead. After a scuffle in the guests' penalty area 24 minutes into the game, the home team was awarded a penalty. P. Mecca scored to make it 1 - 1. Sporting had to make a substitution after 30 minutes. Á. de Oliveira limped off the field and was replaced by F. Argento. Halftime score was 1 - 1. Neither team was controlling the possession at this point in the match, with the stats showing a 50:50 split.

Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 69 minutes into the match, and R. Mikaelsson wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 1 - 2 for the visitors. Some fine movement on the left led to a Perro goal after 70 minutes, making it 1 - 3. H. Casapaico was noted down as the scorer. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Perro lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. J. Planas charged down the left and looked sure to score for Sporting 80 minutes into the game, but his shot went just wide. Possession was split evenly between the teams.

Sporting's top performer was clearly J. Corn. On the other hand, C. Storkow's play was disheartening. The most dominating Perro player was without a doubt A. Donez. H. Casapaico was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 3.
