Fruits 1 - 3 Atlético (375644085)

19639 fans braved the pouring rain at Remolina's Arena. Pirkka Koli was the appointed referee. Fruits decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Bajić - Skrzecz, Bondars, Vasilache - Cleven, Aránguiz, Pérez, Cuerno, Clavel - Lanas, Mujica.

Atlético tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. They fielded: Rabatkevich - Echalaz, Vinent, Kubát - Albano, Pusceddu, Mac Auliffe, Campos, Tziovanis - Erčulj, Feilmann.

I. Feilmann's speed is always a threat when he gets a little room to move, and 18 minutes into the match was no different as he broke free of his man to send a delightful through ball to L. Erčulj who knocked it in for Atlético. 0 - 1! After 29 minutes, Atlético's A. Pusceddu fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! Atlético came close to extending their lead as P. Albano delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 30 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. 31 minutes in, Atlético's P. Vinent received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Unfortunately for Fruits, S. Lanas was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. J. Bulnes replaced him. Fruits had to make a substitution after 37 minutes. J. Aránguiz limped off the field and was replaced by F. Parrau. It was 0 - 1 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Atlético, who controlled the ball 63 percent of the time.

A late sliding challenge from P. Vinent was deemed to be his second yellow card offence by the referee, resulting in him being sent off, and Atlético left a man down. A penalty was awarded after 70 minutes, and C. Mac Auliffe made the most of his chance to put Atlético up by another goal. 0 - 2 for the visitors. By now, the players in Atlético felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. 73 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 3 as I. Feilmann finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. With the scoreboard showing that 77 minutes had been played, Atlético nearly put themselves up another goal after A. Pusceddu came through on the left. Fortunately for the home crowd, the keeper made the save. Given a free kick close to the byline, Fruits tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let F. Parrau slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 1 - 3, 79 minutes into the game. Atlético claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 66 percent.

The most dominating Fruits player was without a doubt S. Pérez. However, T. Cuerno made a disastrous appearance. Atlético's top performer was clearly C. Mac Auliffe. R. Kubát on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 3.
