Regional 1 - 0 Anarkos (375619836)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 51336 to LaCancha de los Jotes. Harold Dean was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Manfred von Wackerbarth and Kalil Haj-Ibrahim. Regional started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Gibbs - Ruslanlı, Zuckerman, Harila - Holappa, Catanese, Dalskov Aabentoft, Battista, Vimpari - Dueña, Jezerkić.

Anarkos decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. Starters: Bradaschia - Bauman, Schlickenrieder, Moura - Sijbers, Arroio, Coser, Russi - Kowalesko, Hernández, Oyanedel.

Anarkos clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. Some great play up the middle by Regional led to a chance for R. Catanese to score after 6 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. Anarkos's M. Russi got himself booked for a foul. In a fantastic display of determination, Regional's H. Dueña forced himself to his feet, after an opponent viciously knocked him down. After a fine move down the middle H. Dueña nearly gave the home side a goal after 15 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. Regional could have put themselves ahead after 19 minutes but O. Zuckerman missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. Regional made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left B. Jezerkić completely alone with keeper M. Bradaschia, who made a spectacular block. The referee showed Anarkos's M. Coser the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Halftime score was 0 - 0. Regional claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 67 percent.

Regional took the lead, 1 - 0, after a penalty 84 minutes into the match. B. Jezerkić scored from the penalty spot. Possession in this half belonged to Regional, who controlled the ball 62 percent of the time.

B. Jezerkić performed admirably for Regional. On the other hand, V. Holappa's play was disheartening. Most important Anarkos player was J. Oyanedel. M. Russi on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 0.
