Criollos 0 - 3 SIETE (378487427)

437 spectators had found their way to Iowa Park Stadium, despite the heavy rain. Nadim Uehli was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Peer Kalle Rudnik and Veeren Shacham. A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Criollos. They fielded: Ürkün - Tinelli, Rivera, Marittato, Buscaglia - Oligarca, Salinas, Vásquez, Mantiñian - Ávila, Saravia Castillo.

SIETE started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Lineup: Pitsch - Eixenberger, van de Laarschot, Louchet - Santoro, 川荣 (Chuanrong) , Perdomo, Welker, Lodiro - Patiño, Nemere.

Criollos showed off their creative tactics. D. Rivera did not have a good day today, often losing his footing on the muddy pitch. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 27 minutes into the match, and R. Welker 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. Given a free kick close to the byline, SIETE tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let F. Lodiro slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 0 - 2, 32 minutes into the game. P. Patiño was the first to reach the corner kick, but his header was blocked by the keeper. However, SIETE's M. Eixenberger managed to get hold of the rebound and tucked the ball into the empty net. 0 - 3 After the ball was lifted in from the left, J. Santoro was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 43 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. 0 - 3 was the halftime score. SIETE claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 80 percent.

D. Ürkün got a fingertip on S. Louchet's shot from the left 47 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. J. Tinelli almost reduced the deficit, having drawn the entire left side defence away, but the shot went straight into the arms of the goalkeeper. E. Perdomo could have put his team up another goal 70 minutes into the game, after a rush down the left, but his closing shot hit the post. SIETE's S. Louchet made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 78 minutes into the match. After rounding the keeper, he only had to place the ball in the unguarded goal when a defender slid in and cleared the ball off the line. Possession in this half belonged to SIETE, who controlled the ball 81 percent of the time.

Most important Criollos player was R. Saravia Castillo. However, D. Rivera made a disastrous appearance. SIETE's top performer was clearly 韩. 川荣 (Chuanrong) . F. Lodiro turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 3.
