MOMY 0 - 3 Tasiory (377199435)

Clouds darkened the skies at TROMPETH Arena as 2150 spectators turned up for the match. Bavo Thomas was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Rafael Rodríguez and José María Aragó. MOMY had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. The following players had been chosen: Filipaş - Canter, Oppel, Muntean - Dulca, Dardai, Guşeţ, Gherghina - Iisvirta, Dicker, Bunea.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Tasiory. The following players took the field: Ben-David - Drãgan, Manzo, Borsci - Jadhav, Arsenault, Bera, Kowalkowski, Halczuk - Higino, D'Onofrio.

The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of Tasiory's E. Arsenault after 2 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 0 - 1 lead. The Tasiory free kick 29 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of T. Drãgan, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 0 - 2! The players of Tasiory now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. F. D'Onofrio came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over V. Filipaş but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 2. Tasiory claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 68 percent.

After 55 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave F. Halczuk a chance to increase the lead for Tasiory, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 3. T. Higino could have put his team up another goal 62 minutes into the game, after a rush down the left, but his closing shot hit the post. J. Hirvilammi was called on to replace Tasiory's F. Manzo after 65 minutes following a nasty collision. N. Ben-David was the new captain of Tasiory - handed the armband by the departing player. 74 minutes in, MOMY's J. Canter received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Tasiory had most of the ball, with 64 percent of possession.

MOMY's best player was J. Iisvirta. F. Dardai turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating Tasiory player was without a doubt L. Borsci. On the other hand, T. Drãgan's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 3.
