Rectimec 0 - 5 Vélez (380482676)

13639 punters turned up at La Cacerola, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Rudi Fler was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Maximiliano Erico and Rodney Drouot. Rectimec had chosen a strategic 5-4-1 formation. The following players had been chosen: Ljungbeck - Saracina, Grinwis, Király, Vágréti, Dell'Oca - Iturralde González, Rieper, Huret, Fischetti - Poleszak.

Vélez decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: De la Espriella - Casper, Overweg, Rebreanu - Pinto, Camarinha, Faragó, Saban, Ivšak - Bonde Nielsen, Mirabal.

Rectimec used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. With the clock showing 32 minutes played, a great pass from the defensive line of Vélez resulted in a counterattack that was smoothly brought under control by A. Bonde Nielsen in the centre of the opposition's penalty area, but his finish went high. We may never know what C. Casper was thinking when he tried to pass the ball through a crowd of opponents. Luckily for him, Rectimec's V. Fischetti somehow missed the wide open net. Vélez took the lead after 41 minutes making the score 0 - 1. A. Saban placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. A. Saban received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 43 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 2. The Vélez fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. It was 0 - 2 at the break. Vélez had most of the ball, with 59 percent of possession.

Á. Camarinha neatly controlled the ball after a short corner, and knocked it on to A. Mirabal who had the whole net open before him, but only managed to hit the post. 60 minutes in, Rectimec's H. Grinwis received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Vélez's A. Pinto was dominating his wing and kept sending fine balls into the opposition's box - A. Bonde Nielsen managed to volley one of them into the net to make it 0 - 3 after 76 minutes. Vélez increased their lead after 79 minutes when A. Bonde Nielsen broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 4, much to the home crowd's dismay. Confident in their lead, Vélez's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. A couple of inches to the right and D. Iturralde González's free kick 87 minutes into the match would have resulted in the goal of the year for Rectimec. Some fine movement on the left led to a Vélez goal after 88 minutes, making it 0 - 5. A. Mirabal was noted down as the scorer. Vélez enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 60 percent of possession.

Most important Rectimec player was K. Huret. However, D. Iturralde González made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Vélez player was without a doubt S. Ivšak. On the other hand, C. De la Espriella's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 5.
