ARFC11 4 - 0 Arrebataos (375645858)

Dark skies made the crowd of 28256 at Emirates Stadium a little nervous, but the rain held off. Henrique Mota Pinto was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Cristiano Thalhammer and Javier Mendía. ARFC11 had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. They fielded: Gaudin - Boxan, Second, Torres Aragon - Boulanger, Matute, Neira, van der Waals - Waltman, Waszinski, Musuruana.

Arrebataos started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Rosales - Jubera, Aniñir, Tirado, Salinas - Yantén, Pérez, Cornejo, Reina - Cifuentes, Cantuarias.

ARFC11 clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. ARFC11 took the lead 9 minutes in, as G. van der Waals broke through on the left and put the 1 - 0 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. Cheers filled the stadium as D. Boulanger broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 2 - 0 to ARFC11. 19 minutes in, ARFC11's R. Waszinski received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The home side's A. Musuruana came close to extending the lead 24 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but P. Rosales managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. With 37 minutes played, ARFC11 put themselves up 3 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to I. Torres Aragon, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, G. van der Waals got himself booked. The manager of ARFC11 was not happy. The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 0. ARFC11 claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 63 percent.

ARFC11 had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. T. Waltman should probably have put his team up another goal after 55 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by P. Rosales kept the visitors in the game. After a short break after 63 minutes, ARFC11 seemed to change their tactical approach a bit. R. Waszinski wanted to play on, but the ARFC11 coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 66 minutes into the game by D. Rumenov. Y. Neira had a fantastic opportunity to put ARFC11 up another goal 66 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. A. Musuruana left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 68 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. P. Zanini was the replacement. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for ARFC11, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. B. Matute squirmed through their central defence after 68 minutes, increasing the lead to 4 - 0. Arrebataos kept trying to force their way through on the right side and P. Cornejo got his chance after 72 minutes, but the home side's defence held their position and stopped the attack. The coach of ARFC11 was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 73 minutes, P. Baptista came on for T. Waltman. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by ARFC11, with 62 percent of the ball.

Most important ARFC11 player was Y. Neira. P. Baptista was a disappointment, however. S. Pérez performed admirably for Arrebataos. However, P. Rosales made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 0.
