FENIX-DELTA 2 - 0 Corleone (379750024)

2462 spectators had found their way to FENIX Arena, despite the heavy rain. Jérémie Couto was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Niels Mühlhans and Alessandro Cherchi. FENIX-DELTA decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. The following players had been chosen: Teixeira - Bettingen, D'Adorante, Gozzi - Govi, Tuttolomondo, Seccarecci, Sidarchuk - Hoz, Cruciani, Bastianelli.

A 4-5-1 alignment was the formation of choice for Corleone. Lineup: Goijers - Barrevoets, Kerkhof, Maury, Voogd - Ortiz, Erenstein, Eggers, Chardon, Torres - Börjesson.

The wings were the focus of most of Corleone's attacks today. 9 minutes into the game, Corleone seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to inadequate. FENIX-DELTA took the lead 18 minutes into the game by 1 - 0, as M. Sidarchuk elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. G. Seccarecci did not have a good day today, often losing his footing on the muddy pitch. M. Hoz should probably have put his team up another goal after 22 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by A. Goijers kept the visitors in the game. The game was characterised by rough play and many physical challenges on the wet field, but R. Torres showed great heart and had a good game. Halftime score was 1 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by FENIX-DELTA, with 73 percent of the ball.

The coach gave his players an extra tactical briefing during the break, and after that Corleone had solid organisation. After 64 minutes, FENIX-DELTA's M. Cruciani found the back of the goal with a beautiful free kick. 2 - 0. After this, you could see that the players of FENIX-DELTA were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. FENIX-DELTA's G. D'Adorante swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. Corleone almost scored after a counterattack 72 minutes into the match, but R. Torres took a shot from the left that landed harmlessly in the side of the net. 79 minutes in, Corleone appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only weak. FENIX-DELTA had most of the ball, with 75 percent of possession.

G. Seccarecci performed admirably for FENIX-DELTA. However, L. Teixeira made a disastrous appearance. Corleone's top performer was clearly J. Börjesson. J. Barrevoets was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 0.
