Vanguardia 1 - 1 SSSUBADOOOO (367485148)

Dark skies made the crowd of 17145 at Ángel Sornichero a little nervous, but the rain held off. Tomasz Kręciewski was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Sipke van Acht and Bresti Hjelm. Vanguardia decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Cătescu - Heiligenstein, Santoruvo, Pitt - Svensen, Ronda, Fuenlabrada, Mallo, Cardenas - Trautheim, Valderas.

SSSUBADOOOO had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Iaboni - Mercorella, Asghari, Agraït - Balcarek, Sennels, Gallardo, Salgues, Carrió - Moya, Vázquez.

Today, Vanguardia's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. The wings were the focus of most of SSSUBADOOOO's attacks today. Down the middle came T. Asghari, making a fantastic play that nearly had SSSUBADOOOO take the lead after 10 minutes, but S. Cătescu preserved the tie. Vanguardia had a chance to take the lead after D. Valderas's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 12 minutes. This was a good period for the visitors, with several opportunities to take the lead, particularly when D. Carrió slipped through the defence on the right to come up alone against S. Cătescu, but the home side's keeper showed his lightning reflexes. Halftime score was 0 - 0. Vanguardia enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 58 percent of possession.

I. Balcarek stunned the crowd with a brilliant counterattack from the left, giving SSSUBADOOOO the goal to make it 0 - 1. Still ahead in the game after 60 minutes, SSSUBADOOOO made some tactical adjustments. R. Sennels and B. Gallardo swapped positions. B. Gallardo wanted to play on, but the SSSUBADOOOO coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 60 minutes into the game by Ò. Bruguera. Vanguardia's T. Pitt made an attempt at equalising 67 minutes into the match, coming in from the right, but the ball hit the post and the defence easily cleared the rebound. D. Valderas charged down the left and had a wonderful opportunity to score the equaliser for Vanguardia, but the shot went well wide of the goal. With the crowd on their feet chanting wildly, some great moves down the right hand side after 80 minutes gave Vanguardia a wonderful opportunity to level the score, and L. Santoruvo stepped up to the challenge. 1 - 1 Vanguardia had most of the ball, with 60 percent of possession.

Vanguardia's best player was M. Fuenlabrada. On the other hand, J. Cardenas's play was disheartening. The most dominating SSSUBADOOOO player was without a doubt A. Moya. L. Iaboni was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 1.
