United 6 - 0 Eulalia (379024590)

The 2237 spectators at Veretum Apuliae were in for an afternoon of sunshine. Mónico Ambrosetti was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Tonny Munck and Xavier Denise. United had chosen a strategic 5-4-1 formation. Starters: Pirrello - Calda, Mondani, Benigni, Sottani, Ruvo - Salomaa, D'Onofrio, Cavani, Tafakis - Falconio.

Eulalia tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. Lineup: López Blanco - Morlà, Poltinnik - Di Mugno, Kanči, Hohnsberg, Soufridis, Åkerer - Ciupitu, Orakçı, Gutiérrez de Cossio.

The wings were the focus of most of United's attacks today. With 4 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as S. Falconio flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. V. Gutiérrez de Cossio enjoyed the sunshine and demonstrated his stunning technique over and over again. It was obvious that United had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of United to 2 - 0 as W. D'Onofrio finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. T. Mondani squirmed through their central defence after 11 minutes, increasing the lead to 3 - 0. F. Kanči behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 14 minutes as he gave the ball away to W. D'Onofrio. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. 16 minutes into the game, United were awarded a penalty that A. Salomaa turned into 4 - 0 without a problem. 18 minutes in, United appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only inadequate. The teams went for the halftime break at 4 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to United, who controlled the ball 69 percent of the time.

Despite his frustration resulting in the smashing of a few teacups, the coach of United was able to get his message across, and raised United's organisation to solid. United's B. Calda increased the lead to 5 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 61 minutes. The players of United now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. After 71 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as United found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to passable. 77 minutes into the game, United had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to passable. F. Benigni could have put United up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 79 minutes. Players in United heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. United's F. Benigni swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. The United free kick 88 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 C. Sottani, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 6 - 0! United had most of the ball, with 69 percent of possession.

The most dominating United player was without a doubt F. Cavani. However, C. Sottani made a disastrous appearance. Eulalia's top performer was clearly V. Gutiérrez de Cossio. M. Poltinnik turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 6 - 0.
