F.P.L.N 7 - 0 Pachiux (379458762)

It had rained all day, but 1092 hardy fans still made it out to F.P.L.N Arena. Cyrille Obbers was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Marcus Håkansson and Ervin Ács. F.P.L.N started off with a 2-5-3 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Yacobson - Urizar, Nombela - Puig, Gutiérrez Caviedes, Senosiaín, Menéndez, Jordan - Areitiobiritxinaga, Alventosa, Klougart.

Pachiux tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Starters: Raventos - Casillas, Dusay, Mayorga - Montiel, Forcadell, Colavecchia, Talarico, Kosk - Iríbar, Cucala.

Pachiux were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. G. Mayorga was having a great game - if anything the pouring rain seemed to be spurring him on! With 17 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as E. Menéndez flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. F.P.L.N solidified their lead at the 18 minute mark, as J. Nombela dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 2 - 0. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in F.P.L.N's A. Klougart increasing the lead to 3 - 0. At this point, it was obvious that the players of F.P.L.N lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. Cheers filled the stadium as L. Senosiaín broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 4 - 0 to F.P.L.N. Halftime score was 4 - 0. F.P.L.N had most of the ball, with 68 percent of possession.

It was a bad day for the usually speedy E. Casillas. The mud seemed to slow him down. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 64 minutes, F.P.L.N did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, L. Senosiaín was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 5 - 0. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. K. Areitiobiritxinaga squirmed through their central defence after 66 minutes, increasing the lead to 6 - 0. Players in Pachiux heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. K. Yacobson made a brilliant save 70 minutes into the match, blocking a rocket of a shot from L. Colavecchia on the right hand side. 75 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as F. Alventosa broke through, making the score 7 - 0 for F.P.L.N. Pachiux's G. Mayorga was shown a yellow card after 80 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by F.P.L.N, with 73 percent of the ball.

The most dominating F.P.L.N player was without a doubt A. Klougart. K. Yacobson on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Pachiux player was P. Cucala. E. Casillas was a disappointment, however. The match ends 7 - 0.
