simi 0 - 2 Repollos (379125512)

The crowd of 654 turning up at El infierno saguntino today were greeted with some nasty showers of rain. Waldemar Żołopa was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Hervé Pichon and Joerg Langereihe. simi started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Taberné - Muro Nájera, Rogiński, Pupino - Gorch, Patynowski, Nando, 中杰 (Zhongjie), Deserti - Santo Domingo, Ligas.

Repollos decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Cobovski - Paneghini, Höller, 發志 (Fazhi) - Depoilly, Welbergen, Peñafiel, Caldas, Passanha - Simonsson, Amador.

J. Taberné looked great 7 minutes into the match after stopping a shot from the middle of the penalty area from the visitors' A. Caldas. M. Pupino received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 8 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. Possession of the ball saw an equal split between the teams during the forty-five minutes.

After 46 minutes, the simi manager redeployed his men. L. Deserti swapped positions with W. Patynowski. There was concern in the stands when, at the 47 minute mark, Repollos's J. Peñafiel hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. The simi coach adjusted their lineup with 65 minutes gone. C. Ligas and X. Gorch assumed each other's positions. The boggy pitch disrupted the game, especially for technical players like J. Peñafiel. simi will have to do without C. Ligas for a time, due to a bad foot injury at the 81 minute mark. He was substituted by T. Grebenarov. W. Patynowski slipped and slithered in the wet grass. His usual rapid runs were nowhere to be seen today. The Repollos 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 N. Amador, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 0 - 1! Repollos increased the lead to 0 - 2 as F. Welbergen scored from the penalty spot, putting the ball in near the top left corner. Neither team were able to dominate possession this half.

The most dominating simi player was without a doubt J. Taberné. However, E. Rogiński made a disastrous appearance. Repollos's top performer was clearly S. Höller. C. Passanha turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 2.
