ASROMAFOREVER 2 - 1 Rugólábúak (368453424)

Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 43604 at Grande Capitano today. Virgil Zengei was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Simon Sandland and Per Klingenberg. A 4-5-1 alignment was the formation of choice for ASROMAFOREVER. They fielded: Nica - Bogdán, Boga, Kis, Veloso - Aradszky, Puskás, Gergely, Rassoul, Pukallus - Bóveda.

Rugólábúak tactics involved an interesting 3-4-3 combination. The following players took the field: Dodebier - Haquin, Róbert, 瑞宏 (Ruihong) - Bor, Szrnka, Kiss, Nistor - Lamprecht, Ireland, Fuligni.

ASROMAFOREVER took the lead after 9 minutes as a result of J. Pukallus's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0. With 17 minutes played, the excellent ball from the wing by Rugólábúak's T. Nistor reached G. Fuligni's head, and he is not one to miss such an opportunity - 1 - 1. Having just won a lot of ground following a quick turn of play, ASROMAFOREVER were given a free kick at a sharp angle. Rather than going for the direct shot, the defence was bypassed by a few sideways passes, giving H. Bóveda the chance to slip through at goal. Nice teamwork! And 2 - 1, 43 minutes into the game. 2 - 1 was the score after the first half. ASROMAFOREVER had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave M. Haquin from Rugólábúak a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 53 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! 66 minutes in, ASROMAFOREVER's J. Pukallus received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. With 70 minutes played, ASROMAFOREVER's A. Boga almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. ASROMAFOREVER's H. Rassoul refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 78 minutes. Possession in this half belonged to ASROMAFOREVER, who controlled the ball 56 percent of the time.

Most important ASROMAFOREVER player was H. Rassoul. J. Pukallus was a disappointment, however. Rugólábúak's best player was Á. Szrnka. M. Haquin on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 1.
