Grenoble 4 - 1 sullijo (370362715)

The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 46000 had shown up at Stade des Alpes for the match. Bogdan Grigoraş was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jan Kocian and Sol Myers. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Grenoble. They fielded: Nianguiri - Lietard, Fleurence, Lemarie - Clerbout, Boué, Édon, Sall, Lauret - Loreto, Ramos.

sullijo tactics involved an interesting 3-4-3 combination. The following players had been chosen: Autier - Justine, Arad, Casif - Galet, Blázquez, Walker, Stater - Amoedo, Lapido, Ansel.

Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Grenoble. Grenoble took the lead 8 minutes in, as O. Ramos broke through on the left and put the 1 - 0 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. After 22 minutes, Grenoble's F. Lietard found the back of the goal with a beautiful free kick. 2 - 0. The players of Grenoble now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. With 26 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of Grenoble resulted in a counterattack that set A. Sall free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save. J. Loreto increased the lead for Grenoble to 3 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! 3 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to Grenoble, who controlled the ball 55 percent of the time.

J. Loreto had a fantastic opportunity to put Grenoble up another goal 55 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. sullijo's A. Blázquez was shown a yellow card after 70 minutes for slicing down an opponent. J. Loreto was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so Grenoble's T. Raux had to come off the bench. Grenoble's F. Lietard struck his penalty well enough to beat the goalkeeper and extend the home team's lead to 4 - 0 after 75 minutes. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Grenoble coach let C. Guillerme replace O. Fleurence after 77 minutes. The home team's fans were upset when, after 77 minutes, the visiting A. Casif broke through the central defence and kicked the ball past the keeper. 4 - 1 was the score. Grenoble claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 58 percent.

Most important Grenoble player was T. Raux. On the other hand, S. Nianguiri's play was disheartening. sullijo's best player was R. Lapido. B. Justine was a disappointment, however. The match ends 4 - 1.
