Atletico 2 - 4 F.C.Ghevio (379584271)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 1927 to Invalicabile. Rafke Willems was the appointed referee. Atletico started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. They fielded: Gallo - Linsten, Malagoli, Otth - Tausig, Săndulescu, Pío Mancebo, Eguiluz - Terroso, Mihăilă, Caverni.

F.C.Ghevio tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Panella - Chiru, Lamoratta, Mineo, Di meo - Forgione, Lamberti, Ruotsi, Chygaan Uulu - Pompole, Del Pia.

1 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Atletico substitution. G. Nitti came on for L. Terroso. After 1 minutes, the Atletico coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving D. Săndulescu off the field. F. Guérineau took his place. I. Mihăilă gave Atletico the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0 20 minutes into the match the visitors levelled the score at 1 - 1 as E. Del Pia struck home from a rebound off the crossbar, following a shot from the right. The guests took the lead 25 minutes into the match, after a right-side attack resulted in N. Lamoratta scoring to make it 1 - 2. Atletico's G. Nitti was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 26 minutes. After 32 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed E. Del Pia to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 1 - 3. 38 minutes into the match, M. Forgione came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. F.C.Ghevio's G. Pompole got himself booked for a foul. The referee showed Atletico's I. Mihăilă the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. The home team's supporters got excited again when E. Tausig broke through the visitors' central defence and caught their keeper off guard, making it 2 - 3. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 3. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by F.C.Ghevio, with 61 percent of the ball.

A drive down the left side allowed G. Di meo to get in close and score another goal for F.C.Ghevio after 51 minutes, taking the score to 2 - 4. O. Chiru received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 67 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. Always a threat, E. Del Pia tore past his marker and placed the ball right at the feet of the waiting G. Pompole who should have easily scored for F.C.Ghevio, but the ball went wide. After the ball was lifted in from the left, G. Pompole was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 84 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. F.C.Ghevio had most of the ball, with 62 percent of possession.

I. Mihăilă performed admirably for Atletico. S. Linsten turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating F.C.Ghevio player was without a doubt G. Di meo. On the other hand, C. Panella's play was disheartening. The match ends 2 - 4.
