YARIV 7 - 0 Calabrias (379290923)

It had rained all day, but 2722 hardy fans still made it out to fc yar123 stadium. Antoni Bergmański was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Lars-Åke Martinsson and Flores Lecocq. YARIV tactics involved an interesting 3-4-3 combination. The following players had been chosen: Binyamin - De la Serna, San Miguel, Biront - Boenigk, Kissow, Ottesen, Bourgue - Dotan, Aspenén, Narkis.

Calabrias decided to use a 2-5-2 set up. They fielded: Podeur - Căceu, Kalteis - Porcu, Scialotti, Ţuluş, Rovini, Kvarnbratt - Quilici, Lodato.

Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Calabrias. YARIV broke through on the left 4 minutes into the game, with N. Kissow firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. 15 minutes into the game, Calabrias seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a passable level of organisation. Y. Narkis did not have a good day today, often losing his footing on the muddy pitch. After 25 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by H. Ottesen might have resulted in another goal for YARIV. However, J. Podeur made a spectacular save. Calabrias's M. Căceu was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 27 minutes. The muddy pitch made the game a gritty affair, which seemed to suit L. De la Serna just fine. Calabrias's right side looked dangerous 31 minutes in, but S. Binyamin made a good save on M. Kvarnbratt's hard shot to the top corner. M. Căceu still has a lot to learn. For instance, he should know not to make half-hearted passes in front of R. Dotan, who easily scored for YARIV, making it 2 - 0. YARIV's H. Ottesen increased the lead to 3 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 37 minutes. By now, the players in YARIV felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. YARIV solidified their lead at the 38 minute mark, as Y. Narkis dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 4 - 0. It was 4 - 0 at the break. YARIV claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 57 percent.

The Calabrias players spent the break getting a rerun of the team's tactical organisation and regained a solid organisation when the game started again. 63 minutes into the game, Calabrias seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to passable. Calabrias kept trying to force their way through on the right side and G. Quilici got his chance after 68 minutes, but the home side's defence held their position and stopped the attack. D. Aspenén was first to reach a ball launched long through the center from YARIV's defence 69 minutes into the game. He managed to keep his cool and beat the goalkeeper to make the score 5 - 0. YARIV put themselves up 6 - 0 when D. Aspenén broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. Cheers filled the stadium as N. Kissow broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 7 - 0 to YARIV. 77 minutes in, Calabrias appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only inadequate. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by YARIV, with 62 percent of the ball.

YARIV's best player was S. Boenigk. On the other hand, R. San Miguel's play was disheartening. Most important Calabrias player was J. Podeur. However, M. Căceu made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 7 - 0.
