Cthonian 0 - 10 Lionheart_05 (380119336)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Cthonian Perverts Arena saw a crowd turnout of 12000. Gyõzõ Pálinkó was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jonáš Nejedlo and Børge Dalsgård. Cthonian decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. The following players took the field: Paredes - Colunga, Alvarado, Lara, Ribadeneira - Corrales, Gutiérrez, Mantilla, Villa - Laso, Dou.

A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Lionheart_05. The following players had been chosen: Veintimilla - Burkel, Lvovich, Beke - Iivonen, Bred, Cana Galindo, Abenia - Mina, Herrera, de la Sierra.

Lionheart_05 used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 11 minutes allowed N. Cana Galindo to score for Lionheart_05. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. The referee signalled a penalty 18 minutes into the game following an offence which looked like it was outside the box. H. Mina knocked it home to make the score 0 - 2. The players of Lionheart_05 now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. A superb free kick by Cthonian's P. Colunga after 19 minutes looked like it'd reduced the lead after it hit the underside of the bar and bounced down over the line, but to the fury of the home crowd the linesman missed it - no goal! After 29 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed R. Herrera to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 3. The referee showed Lionheart_05's V. Lvovich the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Lionheart_05's J. Iivonen had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 34 minutes having been played. W. Ordoñez was the replacement. The visitors' H. Mina took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 37 minutes into the match. 0 - 4 for Lionheart_05. Lionheart_05 had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. After 39 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave V. Lvovich a chance to increase the lead for Lionheart_05, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 5. 0 - 5 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Lionheart_05, with 78 percent of the ball.

The Lionheart_05 players could smell victory in the air. R. de la Sierra wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for R. Machado after 46 minutes. R. Herrera received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 52 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 6. The Lionheart_05 fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for Lionheart_05, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. After 53 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for R. Abenia who increased Lionheart_05's lead to 0 - 7. After 68 minutes, Lionheart_05's V. Lvovich burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 8. After 75 minutes, Lionheart_05's R. Abenia burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 9. The visitors' V. Lvovich took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 81 minutes into the match. 0 - 10 for Lionheart_05. That made three goals for V. Lvovich and he was marked down for the hat trick. After 84 minutes Cthonian's P. Paredes contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. Lionheart_05 enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 83 percent of possession.

Cthonian's best player was J. Laso. On the other hand, P. Paredes's play was disheartening. The most dominating Lionheart_05 player was without a doubt R. Herrera. I. Veintimilla turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 10.
