previous 5/10 next 7/10  Fone 4 - 3 Legendarios (377376345)

Clear skies welcomed the 301 spectators who had made their way to Estadio Sanchez Pizjuan. Juhani Viitasalo was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Knudt Gröschner and Celestino Muruais. Fone had chosen a strategic 5-4-1 formation. Lineup: Viron - Farigu, Alaia, Abad García, Simaeys, Calvo - Mitov, Ståhllind, Ruiz, Oliveira Antunes - Hirth.

Legendarios decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: Frau - Subirats, Petkov, Utrillas - Sorribes, Sarrasqueta, Fernández Fuentes, Giancristofaro, Alcañiz - Nieto, Abid.

Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Fone. 10 minutes had elapsed when a great chance for Fone to take the lead after a good cross from the right found A. Ruiz alone with the keeper, but he chipped it to the wrong side of the post. Fone took the lead, 1 - 0, after a penalty 29 minutes into the match. V. Ståhllind scored from the penalty spot. Fone's V. Ståhllind struck his penalty well enough to beat the goalkeeper and extend the home team's lead to 2 - 0 after 35 minutes. After 40 minutes, Legendarios sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached J. Utrillas, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 2 - 1. 41 minutes in, Fone appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only passable. After 42 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Legendarios found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to passable. Legendarios tied it all up, 43 minutes in, after a spectacular goal by J. Utrillas, who miraculously broke through the home side's central defence, making it 2 - 2. 44 minutes into the game, Legendarios seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to inadequate. Legendarios's J. Utrillas gave the visitors a 2 - 3 lead after 44 minutes with a superb strike from the right. This third goal completed a hattrick for J. Utrillas. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 3. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Legendarios, with 53 percent of the ball.

Despite his frustration resulting in the smashing of a few teacups, the coach of Fone was able to get his message across, and raised Fone's organisation to solid. During the break, Legendarios's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to solid organisation. A well placed corner kick from V. Ståhllind was followed by A. Ruiz's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for Fone, the score now 3 - 3. After 68 minutes, G. Farigu came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 4 - 3, giving Fone the lead. With 72 minutes played, Fone's V. Hirth almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. 78 minutes into the game, Fone had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to weak. H. Mitov unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, A. Ruiz got himself booked. The manager of Fone was not happy. With 85 minutes played, J. Utrillas came in from the right and could have evened the score, but the defenders successfully repelled the attack by Legendarios. Possession in this half belonged to Legendarios, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

Fone's best player was B. Alaia. I. Abad García on the other hand, had a terrible day. Legendarios's top performer was clearly M. Giancristofaro. A. Subirats turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 4 - 3.
