Giraudini 9 - 1 Bianconera (379938479)

766 punters turned up at Giraudini Arena, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Ants Raag was the appointed referee with assistance provided by César Gutiérrez Caviedes and Adelin Bogdan. Giraudini started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Starters: Leibold - Pulver, Turatto, Huber - Comba, Vuillemin, Gemello, Mancini, Fedoseenko - Dolarea, Sanzovo.

Bianconera decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. They fielded: Costaggiu - Caporossi, Ciaccia, Infantino, De Pasquale - Bentivoglio, Fregni, Bucci, Minghetti - Tolu, Tirone.

Giraudini decided to play creatively. After some beautiful movement down the left wing, R. Dolarea scored for Giraudini putting them ahead 1 - 0, after 26 minutes. With 28 minutes played, Giraudini put themselves up 2 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to A. Pulver, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Giraudini to 3 - 0 as V. Turatto finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. Confident in their lead, Giraudini's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. A. Comba increased the lead for Giraudini to 4 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! D. Vuillemin still has a lot to learn. For instance, he should know not to make half-hearted passes in front of R. Bucci, who easily scored for Bianconera, making it 4 - 1. Giraudini managed to extend their lead to 5 - 1 when Z. Sanzovo cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. The teams went for the halftime break at 5 - 1. Giraudini enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 78 percent of possession.

A free kick just outside of the visitors' penalty area after 69 minutes could have resulted in another goal, but S. Costaggiu got a hand out and tipped the ball over the bar. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, V. Turatto got himself booked. The manager of Giraudini was not happy. Giraudini increased the lead as R. Dolarea struck to make the score 6 - 1 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Giraudini scored another to make it 7 - 1 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for D. Mancini after 77 minutes. Cheers filled the stadium as G. Gemello broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 8 - 1 to Giraudini. Giraudini's A. Comba was shown a yellow card after 85 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Z. Sanzovo struck a 30 metre free kick home 86 minutes into the match. 9 - 1 for the home team. Giraudini's G. Gemello got himself booked for a foul. Giraudini claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 77 percent.

Most important Giraudini player was R. Dolarea. D. Vuillemin turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating Bianconera player was without a doubt F. Fregni. R. Caporossi was a disappointment, however. The match ends 9 - 1.
