Vallaniac 0 - 3 leto0708 (379358836)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Stade Municipal saw a crowd turnout of 1201. Ruven Badmann was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jaume Gost and Rizah Luburić. Vallaniac had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. The following players took the field: Strzyżyński - Monlouis, Delpeuch, Bardet, Lenoir - Barbereau, Correia, Stošič, Vial - Araújo Teixeira, Deloumeaux.

A 2-5-3 alignment was the formation of choice for leto0708. They fielded: Badenes - Trotta, Rubagotti - Baroncini, Orozco León, Ciervo, Bertolini, Jarošinec - Serra, Stadler, Puczkowski.

It was obvious that Vallaniac were using their pressing skill as their primary tactic. Against a lesser team, leto0708 could very well have succeeded with their smart indirect free kick routine after 4 minutes. A trio of passes took the ball all the way past the defenders, but by then the intended recipient was already blocked off and the keeper could make a leisurely save. Vallaniac had to make a substitution after 6 minutes. A. Lenoir limped off the field and was replaced by V. Seigler. 12 minutes into the game, Vallaniac had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to solid. 15 minutes into the game, L. Trotta almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. Vallaniac's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. leto0708 took the lead 32 minutes into the game, making the score 0 - 1 after some elegant movement down the middle. E. Bertolini was the scorer. Halftime score was 0 - 1. leto0708 claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 60 percent.

A review of the gameplan helped Vallaniac get back to a solid organisation when the referee blew his whistle again. C. Stošič received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 51 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. J. Orozco León could have put his team up another goal 54 minutes into the game, after a rush down the left, but his closing shot hit the post. 58 minutes in, Vallaniac appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only solid. The home crowd was not impressed when E. Puczkowski came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 66 minutes. leto0708 were now up 0 - 2. 77 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 3 as P. Ciervo finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. Confident in their lead, leto0708's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. leto0708 enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 63 percent of possession.

Vallaniac's best player was J. Monlouis. J. Delpeuch on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating leto0708 player was without a doubt O. Stadler. However, S. Badenes made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 3.
