previous 9/10 next 1/10  Cruyff 2 - 4 Biel (377516315)

32800 spectators had found their way to Coliseum Johan Cruyff, despite the heavy rain. Augustin Bouret was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Eno Pula and Renato Paiva. The derby had been the talk of Aragón all week and fans of both teams could be seen throughout the stadium. Cruyff had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. Starters: Dostals - La Fuente, Cagigao, Alonso de Santocildes - Martínez Perea, Quintía, Puche, Núñez de Alava - Sobriño, Bailey, Piquer.

Biel decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Kistowski - Albuţ, Dadaş, Pepliński - Sevilia, Leyva Prado, Hårsaker, Haiek, Jakabos - Toledo, Ożański.

Thighs bulging, O. Pepliński charged past the weaker players, seemingly oblivious to the rain. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 16 minutes into the match left Biel's J. Ożański completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. C. Leyva Prado received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 25 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 2. The Biel fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. M. Piquer tried to get a goal back for Cruyff but despite all his hard work down the right, he just couldn't complete the move. A penalty was awarded after 33 minutes, and O. Hårsaker made the most of his chance to put Biel up by another goal. 0 - 3 for the visitors. The home team's supporters got excited again when P. Martínez Perea broke through the visitors' central defence and caught their keeper off guard, making it 1 - 3. The home crowd cheered when, after 43 minutes, O. Pepliński's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. 1 - 3 was the halftime score. Biel claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 57 percent.

The Biel players could smell victory in the air. C. Leyva Prado wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for G. Pop after 58 minutes. T. Kistowski left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 60 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. R. Coira was the replacement. G. Pop was the new captain of Biel - handed the armband by the departing player. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Biel coach let V. Vachev replace J. Ożański after 60 minutes. 69 minutes in, Cruyff's P. Núñez de Alava received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. After 74 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed O. Hårsaker to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 1 - 4. Confident in their lead, Biel's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from I. Toledo after 75 minutes, and prevented Biel from going up another goal. A. La Fuente stunned the crowd with a brilliant counterattack from the left, giving Cruyff the goal to make it 2 - 4. Biel had most of the ball, with 59 percent of possession.

A. Cagigao performed admirably for Cruyff. P. Núñez de Alava was a disappointment, however. Biel's top performer was clearly I. Toledo. M. Albuţ turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 2 - 4.
