The wings were the focus of most of borbotones's attacks today. carp displayed their ability to play creatively. T. Fiodorow had a hard time on the waterlogged pitch - his trademark technique was nowhere in sight today. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 16 minutes into the match, and J. Martins wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 0 - 1 for the visitors. F. Draghetti was having a great game - if anything the pouring rain seemed to be spurring him on! 27 minutes in, and borbotones were able to score the equalising goal to make it 1 - 1 when F. Cornejo picked up a pass coming in from the right and chipped it past the away team's keeper. It might be a while before the fans see borbotones's S. Lambau again, after he had to leave the field in great distress at the 30 minute mark. He was replaced by T. Wojcieszek. After some beautiful movement down the left wing, L. Fritzler scored for borbotones putting them ahead 2 - 1, after 33 minutes. borbotones solidified their lead at the 35 minute mark, as D. Jean dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 3 - 1. D. Jean increased the lead for borbotones to 4 - 1, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! carp reduced the lead after 43 minutes to 4 - 2 as J. Cuervo easily chipped the ball past the home side's keeper after a dazzling play from the right. 4 - 2 was the halftime score. borbotones claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.

Things were going to get worse for the visitors. D. Jean squirmed through their central defence after 52 minutes, increasing the lead to 5 - 2. At that, D. Jean was noted down for a hat trick! 53 minutes in, F. Knera made an incredible run up the middle and nearly reduced the home side's lead, but F. Iuşan refused to let the ball slip by him. A. Rubio de Barrio should probably have put his team up another goal after 54 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by G. Drexel kept the visitors in the game. F. Cornejo of borbotones was able to make an impressive rush past the sluggish A. Kuusk, which resulted in a goal making the score 6 - 2. carp were desperate to get a goal back and pushed forward through the middle 62 minutes into the game. After a scramble in the box, the ball dropped to F. Knera, who smashed it home to make the score 6 - 3. The home team's fans were upset when, after 76 minutes, the visiting F. Knera broke through the central defence and kicked the ball past the keeper. 6 - 4 was the score. After 82 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as carp found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to weak. Possession in this half belonged to carp, who controlled the ball 53 percent of the time.

borbotones's top performer was clearly F. Draghetti. However, T. Wojcieszek made a disastrous appearance. Most important carp player was A. Ghezzi. On the other hand, C. Petruni's play was disheartening. The match ends 6 - 4.
