BaRÇoBia 0 - 0 YesWK (367515464)

Dark skies made the crowd of 31489 at BaRÇoBia_Arena a little nervous, but the rain held off. Andrejs Pavlovs was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Luca Tonzar and Ingwer Vitzethum. BaRÇoBia started off with a 4-5-1 lineup. They fielded: Aramendia - Kovačević, Pardo, van der Graft, Muro Cerezo - Alcázar Yunta, Welgemoed, Rudes, Aísa, Estramigas - Sonnet.

YesWK had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Ehningen - Besozzi, Badum, Damjanov - Rótulo, Plaček, Babeiro, Ibarguen, Graf Beissel von Gymnich - Fromista, Dabin.

BaRÇoBia saw most attack opportunities on the wings. Some great play up the middle by BaRÇoBia led to a chance for I. Aísa to score after 27 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. A. Muro Cerezo neatly controlled the ball after a short corner, and knocked it on to I. Aísa who had the whole net open before him, but only managed to hit the post. Slack defending gave BaRÇoBia a chance to take the lead with 36 minutes played, but I. Aísa's cross from the left flank was fumbled in front of the goal and easily dealt with by the opposition. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to BaRÇoBia, who controlled the ball 76 percent of the time.

BaRÇoBia could have put themselves ahead after 63 minutes but Y. Sonnet missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. BaRÇoBia had a chance to take the lead after Y. Sonnet's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 67 minutes. BaRÇoBia's A. Muro Cerezo tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. As the 79 minute mark approached, the BaRÇoBia coach decided it was time for a substitution. I. Aísa reluctantly made way for T. Padrós on the pitch. This was a good period for the visitors, with several opportunities to take the lead, particularly when D. Damjanov slipped through the defence on the right to come up alone against J. Aramendia, but the home side's keeper showed his lightning reflexes. BaRÇoBia claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 75 percent.

The most dominating BaRÇoBia player was without a doubt R. Rudes. A. Muro Cerezo on the other hand, had a terrible day. YesWK's best player was O. Dabin. P. Ibarguen was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 0.
