Laguna 0 - 2 C.F.Deportivo (380027553)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Laguna Arena saw a crowd turnout of 923. Viktor Crameri was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Ari Puputti and Spiros Varsamis. Laguna tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Gorecki - Ros, das Pontes, Albàs - Reuther, Gabancho, Munné, Marín Díez, Enveij - Maceda, Cervo.

C.F.Deportivo had chosen a strategic 5-4-1 formation. The following players took the field: Blancquaert - Adam, Batory, Verhavert, Sartor, Díaz de Pimienta - López Blanco, 孝华 (Xiaohua), Koskenranta, Kjær - Reccia.

Laguna made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left X. Cervo completely alone with keeper A. Blancquaert, who made a spectacular block. 10 minutes in, Laguna's J. Marín Díez received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. C.F.Deportivo had several good opportunities to take the lead, especially 16 minutes in when 潘. 孝华 (Xiaohua) came up alone against B. Gorecki who managed a block. A. Adam behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 17 minutes as he gave the ball away to R. Reuther. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. J. Díaz de Pimienta gave the visitors the lead 35 minutes into the match to make it 0 - 1. The goal was scored from the penalty spot after a handball in the penalty area. 0 - 1 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to C.F.Deportivo, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

M. Gabancho really should have scored when he was chosen by fate to confront a wide open goal following a great play by J. Marín Díez after a corner. C.F.Deportivo made sure of not letting X. Cervo succeed with his speed. When an opportunity appeared for him, as it did 82 minutes into the game, speedy J. Verhavert came to the rescue and stopped the attack. The referee signalled a penalty 86 minutes into the game following an offence which looked like it was outside the box. J. Díaz de Pimienta knocked it home to make the score 0 - 2. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, F. Ros got himself booked. The manager of Laguna was not happy. After 87 minutes of game time, P. Sartor had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but B. Gorecki was in the right place and tipped the ball over for a corner. The visitors almost increased their lead after 88 minutes when a sweetly hit free kick looked like it was heading for the top corner. However the keeper managed to get a fingertip to it, sending it over the bar. C.F.Deportivo enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 53 percent of possession.

The most dominating Laguna player was without a doubt X. Cervo. R. Reuther on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important C.F.Deportivo player was P. Koskenranta. A. López Blanco turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 2.
