_HISPANIA_ 2 - 1 HERRADOR.F.C (367545050)

A brilliantly sunny day had enticed a crowd of 15000 to PENINSULAR. Göran Fickånger was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Dezider Klaus and Valentin Lepiller. _HISPANIA_ started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Starters: Tapia Mateo - Barquín, Alonso Arza, Carranes - Napoleoni, Rizzini, Vainilavičius, Dehaene, Donaire - Ködöböcz, Stringer.

HERRADOR.F.C decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. They fielded: Gasulla - Szutowicz, Beránek, Vamvakaris, van Kuppeveld - Čecháček, Rocha Ribeiro, Schmalensee, Le Boulanger - Szymula, de Kreek.

_HISPANIA_ were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. 10 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for _HISPANIA_ was F. Donaire. _HISPANIA_'s L. Carranes had an excellent opportunity after 18 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! Things were deteriorating for the away team as _HISPANIA_ scored another to make it 2 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for D. Dehaene after 22 minutes. HERRADOR.F.C managed to reduce the score to 2 - 1 as E. Szymula finished off a well-played combination from the left, easily carving through the defence. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave D. Dehaene from _HISPANIA_ a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 31 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! _HISPANIA_ had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. The home side's G. Napoleoni came close to extending the lead 32 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but A. Gasulla managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. D. Dehaene unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 1. _HISPANIA_ enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 58 percent of possession.

Given a free kick in a difficult position after 51 minutes, _HISPANIA_ tried a variation that they had practised in training. The kick was sent into the area just in front of the keeper. However, the defence were on their toes and allowed no space for a finish. HERRADOR.F.C needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 70 minutes C. van Kuppeveld made way for R. Campomanes. D. Dehaene was ever so close to scoring after an excellent corner was beautifully flicked on by F. Donaire, but the ball bounced off the post to safety. With 74 minutes played, the HERRADOR.F.C coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. O. Zuhur came on, S. Le Boulanger had to leave the fray. The referee showed HERRADOR.F.C's D. Schmalensee the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by _HISPANIA_, with 60 percent of the ball.

Most important _HISPANIA_ player was A. Rizzini. However, M. Tapia Mateo made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating HERRADOR.F.C player was without a doubt A. Rocha Ribeiro. A. Gasulla on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 1.
