previous 8/10 next 10/10  Barça 0 - 3 FCBlueAngels (379874938)

Clouds darkened the skies at Nou Camp as 2799 spectators turned up for the match. Mats Kristiansson was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Toni Hooman and Rene Rye-Nielsen. A 5-3-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Barça. The following players had been chosen: Gaudêncio - Camps, Schultmaister, Soffritti, Barberà, Mens - Kopiecki, Olszacki, Cierpioł - Martín, Charłampowicz.

FCBlueAngels had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. The following players took the field: Dimitrov - Grigorescu, Ben-Baruch, Botto - Pander, Brito Pinto, Sensale, Dunbar - Joniņš, Idiolo, Koynarski.

Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Barça. FCBlueAngels clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. After 3 minutes Barça tried to exploit their counterattacking skills, unfortunately, S. Mens's shot sailed wide after his break down the right. FCBlueAngels had several good opportunities to take the lead, especially 9 minutes in when V. Joniņš came up alone against D. Gaudêncio who managed a block. Barça's defence sent a ball soaring up the middle on a beautiful counterattack with 10 minutes gone, but A. Martín's finish was met by the reaching hands of the keeper. The visiting V. Joniņš was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 20 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. Halftime score was 0 - 1. FCBlueAngels claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 72 percent.

After 81 minutes, FCBlueAngels's V. Grigorescu burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. The visitors added to their lead 83 minutes into the game, after a sensational penalty kick by FCBlueAngels's J. Dunbar slid just past the home keeper. 0 - 3. F. Pander was, after 85 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper D. Gaudêncio made the save. FCBlueAngels had most of the ball, with 69 percent of possession.

Barça's best player was M. Soffritti. G. Camps was a disappointment, however. The most dominating FCBlueAngels player was without a doubt V. Dimitrov. J. Dunbar on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 3.
