INGENIO 1 - 3 Vimar (367481820)

The 18244 spectators at F.C. INGENIO STADIUM were in for an afternoon of sunshine. Anthony Dujardin was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Ibraheem Abdulah Abu-Abdul and Żytomir Sobieszczański. INGENIO started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. The following players took the field: Roc - Michailovas, Chapari, Häfliger - Hjertquist, Claramunt, Fuentes Ros, Beckler - Amiudal, Wuidar, Keinan.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Vimar. They fielded: Sieg - Riol, Panetta, Christensen - Eisenberg, Espinosa de los Monteros, Ibarra, Carcedo, Narbona Sales - Brown, Cuesta.

Today, INGENIO's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. K. Brown came close to putting the visiting team one up 20 minutes into the match, following a solo raid down the middle, but S. Roc managed to tip the ball to a corner. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 22 minutes into the match, and I. Cuesta wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 0 - 1 for the visitors. After 32 minutes, Vimar's A. Eisenberg burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. Confident in their lead, Vimar's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. S. Roc got a fingertip on I. Cuesta's shot from the left 34 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. INGENIO's R. Claramunt got himself booked for a foul. A loud groan was heard from the fans of Vimar, as V. Narbona Sales left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. F. Zúñiga Manrique took his place on the field. Halftime score was 0 - 2. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Vimar, with 57 percent of the ball.

The home crowd cheered when, after 47 minutes, I. Cuesta's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. It wasn't a good day at all for R. Christensen. His powerful style of play just didn't fit the bill on this warm day. Some fine movement on the left led to a Vimar goal after 77 minutes, making it 0 - 3. K. Brown was noted down as the scorer. INGENIO were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. 79 minutes into the match, INGENIO's R. Claramunt collected a ball sent down the right and put it in the back of the net, narrowing the score to 1 - 3. As the game started to slip away for INGENIO, the manager decided to change the tactical approach. The referee showed Vimar's D. Carcedo the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Possession in this half belonged to Vimar, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

The most dominating INGENIO player was without a doubt G. Keinan. However, F. Beckler made a disastrous appearance. Most important Vimar player was I. Cuesta. F. Zúñiga Manrique on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 3.
