Elite 0 - 7 ATLETICOAGUADULCE (378126479)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 892 to Elite Rose Stadium. Didier Colinet was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Sergio Nichol and Raffaele Eigenmann. Elite had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. The following players had been chosen: Dueñas - Lloveras Sainz, Sperk, Feixes - Wiezner, Deelder, Tunguç, Cicogna - Raab, Molhoek, Sipőcz.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for ATLETICOAGUADULCE. Lineup: Carbajo - Filippin, Križanić, Conde - Florea, Cagliostro, Cucurullo, Oskarsson, Miller - Ravet, Małkowski.

Elite tried to focus their attacks down the middle. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 15 minutes into the match left ATLETICOAGUADULCE's C. Ravet completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. M. Molhoek charged down the left and had a wonderful opportunity to score the equaliser for Elite, but the shot went well wide of the goal. O. Małkowski of ATLETICOAGUADULCE took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 37 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 2. Elite players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. E. Cagliostro received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 41 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 3. The ATLETICOAGUADULCE fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. Confident in their lead, ATLETICOAGUADULCE's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave B. Raab from Elite a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 42 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! After 43 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for R. Miller who increased ATLETICOAGUADULCE's lead to 0 - 4. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 4. ATLETICOAGUADULCE had most of the ball, with 67 percent of possession.

With 55 minutes played, ATLETICOAGUADULCE put themselves up 0 - 5 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was V. Florea. M. Križanić could have put his team up another goal 83 minutes into the game, after a rush down the left, but his closing shot hit the post. After 84 minutes, ATLETICOAGUADULCE's M. Filippin burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 6. With 85 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed V. Florea of ATLETICOAGUADULCE to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 7. Unsportsmanlike behaviour by B. Raab rendered him his second booking of the match, and Elite had to finish the game with a reduced squad. After 87 minutes, ATLETICOAGUADULCE's M. Cucurullo fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! Possession in this half belonged to ATLETICOAGUADULCE, who controlled the ball 63 percent of the time.

Most important Elite player was S. Tunguç. However, M. Deelder made a disastrous appearance. ATLETICOAGUADULCE's top performer was clearly O. Małkowski. S. Carbajo turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 7.
