Avantul 2 - 3 4-US (380780881)

33605 spectators arrived at Laguna albastră, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Sobiesław Oziemski was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Ferran Cruells and Stanislaw Moser. Avantul started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Bartoš - Sobkowicz, Spronsen, Ayroldi - Popa, Yankov, Gaită, Šoštar, Donaldson - MacGaw, Monteira.

4-US had chosen a strategic 2-5-3 formation. Lineup: Balog - Porras, Viertola - Vasold, Valsania, Hartlander, Šeipunas, Dekoninck - Bonvalot, Michelbach, Moore.

4-US's goal to make the score 0 - 1 came via a questionable penalty, but I. Porras struck it home without a second thought. After 23 minutes, 4-US's I. Porras burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. 4-US came close to extending their lead as D. Michelbach delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 29 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. A. Donaldson has acquired a talent for predicting the movements of the opposing defence over the years and this almost resulted in a goal 31 minutes into the match. Avantul's H. Sobkowicz refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 36 minutes. It was 0 - 2 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to 4-US, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

The visitors added to their lead 50 minutes into the game, after a sensational penalty kick by 4-US's I. Porras slid just past the home keeper. 0 - 3. This third goal completed a hattrick for I. Porras. Confident in their lead, 4-US's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. After 56 minutes, A. Šoštar sent the corner kick right to K. Spronsen who headed it sharply past the keeper. 1 - 3! 4-US's T. Viertola got himself booked for a foul. 63 minutes into the game Avantul broke through on the left wing and D. Popa managed to reduce the lead to 2 - 3. 4-US claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 56 percent.

The most dominating Avantul player was without a doubt A. MacGaw. However, V. Bartoš made a disastrous appearance. J. Bonvalot performed admirably for 4-US. A. Balog was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 3.
