Mouse 0 - 10 PRIMATAS (380448788)

12000 fans braved the pouring rain at Mouse Green Arena. Jorge Cassiano was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Kor Stuifzand and Noé Jurado. Mouse had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. They fielded: Paulista - Paixão, Cardosinho, Brito Silva, Pazes - Camarguinho, Negão, Indaiá, Carioca - Cenoura, Couto Bueno.

PRIMATAS started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Ifrach - Réa, Trojan, Félix - Cicarello, Dikeakos, Iwanów, Álvarez - Durán, Piedade, Aškrabić.

PRIMATAS were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. It was a bad day for the usually speedy R. Cicarello. The mud seemed to slow him down. The terraces were silenced after 15 minutes when PRIMATAS's L. Durán put the guests ahead 0 - 1, following an attack on the right. The rain made it hard for players like L. Paixão to show their technical control of the ball on this soggy day. PRIMATAS were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. PRIMATAS increased their lead after 26 minutes when A. Aškrabić broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 2, much to the home crowd's dismay. After this, you could see that the players of PRIMATAS were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Players in PRIMATAS heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. A drive down the left side allowed Z. Piedade to get in close and score another goal for PRIMATAS after 29 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 3. E. Dikeakos caused mayhem in his own defensive line with some mad dribbles within his own penalty zone, but Mouse's J. Carioca's shot went just wide. The home crowd was not impressed when E. Dikeakos came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 36 minutes. PRIMATAS were now up 0 - 4. L. Paixão of Mouse was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. With 39 minutes played, PRIMATAS put themselves up 0 - 5 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was A. Aškrabić. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 5. PRIMATAS had most of the ball, with 86 percent of possession.

The coach of PRIMATAS was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, K. Serafidis came on for A. Aškrabić. Content with how the game was proceeding, the PRIMATAS coach let G. Bazzani replace L. Durán after 46 minutes. Attacking on the wings was the choice for PRIMATAS, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. A. Álvarez of PRIMATAS took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 48 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 6. After 55 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed R. Cicarello to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 7. Z. Piedade wanted to play on, but the PRIMATAS coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 60 minutes into the game by J. Varela. With 63 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed J. Varela of PRIMATAS to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 8. PRIMATAS had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. Some fine movement on the left led to a PRIMATAS goal after 74 minutes, making it 0 - 9. J. Varela was noted down as the scorer. G. Bazzani increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 10. PRIMATAS claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 89 percent.

Mouse's top performer was clearly V. Pazes. On the other hand, J. Carioca's play was disheartening. K. Serafidis performed admirably for PRIMATAS. J. Varela on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 10.
