Sanguinarios 1 - 5 Atlético (380448277)

It was an exceptionally sunny day for the crowd of 12000 that came out to Thronum Neptunum Posidon. Lasse Järvenpää was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Tommy Christiansson and Robin Kämpfen. Sanguinarios had chosen a strategic 5-3-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Vilaespasa - Trangoni, Caldeira, Pék, Kuki, Ohllius - Gosch, Rojas, Godínez - Esquivel, Obregón.

Atlético tactics involved an interesting 3-4-3 combination. The following players took the field: Schöfl - Witaszek, Horváth, Alvariños - Chacón, Picart, Leblanc, Jaśkiewicz - Corona, Mosch, Macedo.

Sanguinarios used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. P. Alvariños gave the visitors the lead 22 minutes into the match to make it 0 - 1. The goal was scored from the penalty spot after a handball in the penalty area. With the scoreboard showing that 26 minutes had been played, Atlético nearly put themselves up another goal after Q. Macedo came through on the left. Fortunately for the home crowd, the keeper made the save. Given a free kick close to the byline, Atlético tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let Q. Macedo slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 0 - 2, 27 minutes into the game. The home crowd was given a certain amount of consolation when J. Esquivel scored after a brilliant midfield combination through the centre, reducing the lead to 1 - 2. With 31 minutes played, C. Obregón of Sanguinarios fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 2. Atlético enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 63 percent of possession.

With 57 minutes played, Atlético put themselves up 1 - 3 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was M. Picart. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Atlético coach let G. Kowohl replace D. Chacón after 60 minutes. The coach of Atlético was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 60 minutes, A. Ortega came on for M. Picart. S. Jaśkiewicz left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 65 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. N. Perri was the replacement. After 76 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for P. Alvariños who increased Atlético's lead to 1 - 4. The home crowd was not impressed when P. Mosch came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 78 minutes. Atlético were now up 1 - 5. After this, you could see that the players of Atlético were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. The home crowd cheered when, after 80 minutes, P. Mosch's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave F. Horváth from Atlético a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 84 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! C. Caldeira of Sanguinarios had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. N. Ansari came in to finish the match. Atlético claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 66 percent.

Most important Sanguinarios player was J. Esquivel. J. Ohllius was a disappointment, however. P. Mosch performed admirably for Atlético. P. Schöfl on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 5.
