Galeriedart 3 - 0 Briosa (370765324)

A scorching day at Galerie Arena, where 34409 spectators were in place for today's match. Anastasie Olah was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Fernand Laot and Einar Grønvold. A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Galeriedart. They fielded: Ceccaroni - Brönneke, Šobot, Øvlisen - Rok, Freytag, Pagliuca, Robert - Simionescu, Chiappi, Moscato.

Briosa decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Dugec - Vieira, Oliveira Silva, Guerra Rodrigues - Esterhazy, Sidenskog, Margarido, Batista, Nunes - Dias Correia, Welling.

It seemed as though Galeriedart considered the game won before even taking the field, which resulted in a very uninspired start to the game. Galeriedart seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. N. Freytag gave Galeriedart the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0 R. Robert was the first to reach the corner kick, but his header was blocked by the keeper. However, Galeriedart's P. Øvlisen managed to get hold of the rebound and tucked the ball into the empty net. 2 - 0 After this, you could see that the players of Galeriedart were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Galeriedart's G. Chiappi saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 25 minutes. Galeriedart put themselves up 3 - 0 when G. Chiappi broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave L. Batista from Briosa a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 33 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! It was 3 - 0 at the break. Galeriedart had most of the ball, with 51 percent of possession.

Unhappy with the result so far in the game, the Briosa manager used a brief break in play after 60 minutes to give the players new directives. Briosa's M. Sidenskog was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 77 minutes. L. Ceccaroni made a brilliant save 79 minutes into the match, blocking a rocket of a shot from K. Welling on the right hand side. Possession was split evenly between the teams.

Galeriedart's best player was I. Simionescu. L. Ceccaroni was a disappointment, however. Most important Briosa player was V. Vieira. K. Esterhazy turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 0.
