BvB 8 - 0 TetasÀbnar (370720939)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and White Hart Lane saw a crowd turnout of 37265. Vito Termali was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Mikael Ahlstedt and Remo Senseig. BvB decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. Lineup: Jesus - Pinto, Moura, Pires, Eusébio - Vieira, Medeiros, Delgado, Conceição - Ferlenga, Parda.

TetasÀbnar had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. The following players took the field: Vila Real - Fernandes Lopes, Gouveia Fernandes, Matias, Martinho - Corinto, Novo, de Morais, Teotónico - Andrade, Antunes.

After 6 minutes J. Parda made a speedy advance and dropped the ball to G. Ferlenga who shuffled it past the keeper. The score was now 1 - 0. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. C. Pires squirmed through their central defence after 15 minutes, increasing the lead to 2 - 0. BvB's M. Pinto left the field after 30 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was C. Miguel. S. Eusébio had a fantastic opportunity to put BvB up another goal 31 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. BvB solidified their lead at the 33 minute mark, as C. Miguel dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 3 - 0. At this point, it was obvious that the players of BvB lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. BvB were given a gift! The ref dubiously awarded them a penalty 37 minutes into the match, which was neatly put away by L. Medeiros. 4 - 0 for the home side. BvB increased the lead as G. Moura struck to make the score 5 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. The teams went for the halftime break at 5 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to BvB, who controlled the ball 79 percent of the time.

G. Ferlenga could have put BvB up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 47 minutes. BvB managed to extend their lead to 6 - 0 when G. Moura cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. Coming from the right, C. Pires almost managed to score another goal for BvB, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in BvB's L. Medeiros increasing the lead to 7 - 0. The home side's L. Medeiros curled a free kick home after 80 minutes, putting BvB ahead 8 - 0. By then L. Medeiros had scored three goals - a hat trick! BvB enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 83 percent of possession.

Most important BvB player was L. Medeiros. On the other hand, C. Miguel's play was disheartening. TetasÀbnar's best player was V. Teotónico. M. Vila Real was a disappointment, however. The match ends 8 - 0.
