Tuttu 2 - 1 Salario (379350960)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 3197 to Pepsi Center. Olivier Chappuis was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Ermanno Fadda and Elliot Josefsson. Tuttu decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. Lineup: Gürsoy - Campo, Špelveris, Tjäderby, Stănescu - Papagni, de Neef, Saarilehto, Aldrovandi - Tolvanen, Malmivirta.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Salario. Starters: Kabelinskas - Granin, Carracedo, O'Connell - Contarello, Sangrà, Behaegel, Strobl, Aman - Achileopoulos, Mazzonetto.

The home side put themselves ahead 1 - 0 after 37 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from M. Campo, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. B. Strobl made a run for the goal 42 minutes into the game but the home team's left back managed to sort the situation out in the end. 1 - 0 was the halftime score. Tuttu claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 56 percent.

The Tuttu players could smell victory in the air. M. Malmivirta wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for N. Salo after 46 minutes. The visitors' equaliser seemed sure to come after 53 minutes, following a one on one situation around the left hand side of the goal area, but H. Gürsoy got the best of it, blocking the shot from S. Achileopoulos. Coming through the middle G. Mazzonetto almost scored the equaliser for Salario after 58 minutes, but H. Gürsoy made an excellent save, tipping the awkwardly curled shot past the post. Tuttu put themselves up 2 - 0 when E. de Neef broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. The visitors got a chance to pulling one back after 77 minutes, due to a defensive blunder leaving M. O'Connell completely unmarked. His strike was pathetic though, easy prey for the home side's keeper. Tuttu's R. Tolvanen saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 81 minutes. 82 minutes in, an amazing pass from the left side resulted in a goal for the visitors, as S. Achileopoulos anticipated the through ball and scored, reducing the deficit to 2 - 1. Tuttu had most of the ball, with 53 percent of possession.

Tuttu's top performer was clearly R. Tolvanen. N. Salo turned in a dismal performance, however. Salario's best player was S. Achileopoulos. However, I. Kabelinskas made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 1.
