previous 6/10 next 8/10  Manchester-Untd 0 - 5 Demons (379349473)

Clear skies welcomed the 5046 spectators who had made their way to Old Trafford. Stefano Felasca was the appointed referee. Manchester-Untd started off with a 2-5-3 lineup. They fielded: Fiol - Zapata Villa, Bautista - Del Muro, Encalada, Pavón, Ezgü, Munguía - Beilhack, Domínguez, Meira.

A 4-5-1 alignment was the formation of choice for Demons. The following players took the field: Caputo - Eijkenaar, Chaman, Mihri, Araujo - zanobi, Hristov, Banay, Blaak, Dorschner - Wunderlin.

With 4 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, M. Ezgü needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. The home crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief when I. zanobi was unable to put the ball in the net after his show of skill down the left 21 minutes into the match. He was seen beating the pitch in frustration at missing such a good chance to give his team the lead! Demons's I. zanobi made use of his speed to get free of the defence, but he still couldn't get a shot off 28 minutes into the match. Demons's M. Wunderlin showed his experience, anticipating the outcome of the opponent's defensive clearance and positioning himself perfectly to volley in an unstoppable shot from the edge of the box. 0 - 1. M. Wunderlin came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over A. Fiol but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. There was concern in the stands when, at the 35 minute mark, Manchester-Untd's A. Fiol hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. Demons came close to extending their lead as M. Wunderlin delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 39 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. With 40 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed I. zanobi of Demons to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 2. 0 - 2 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Demons, with 77 percent of the ball.

Some fine movement on the left led to a Demons goal after 49 minutes, making it 0 - 3. M. Wunderlin was noted down as the scorer. The players of Demons now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. M. Wunderlin increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 4. That made three goals for M. Wunderlin and he was marked down for the hat trick. Manchester-Untd's E. Zapata Villa got himself booked for a foul. R. Dorschner was doing a great job on his wing, sending in brilliant passes to his teammates in the middle, but I. zanobi seemed unable to profit from this excellent service. 68 minutes into the game a free kick by M. Banay found its way through the home side's poorly assembled defensive formation, making Demons's lead 0 - 5. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Demons coach let Y. Schotman replace M. Wunderlin after 80 minutes. D. Blaak wanted to play on, but the Demons coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 80 minutes into the game by P. Tiilikka. Possession in this half belonged to Demons, who controlled the ball 78 percent of the time.

Manchester-Untd's top performer was clearly A. Meira. E. Pavón turned in a dismal performance, however. M. Banay performed admirably for Demons. On the other hand, G. Caputo's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 5.
