Juventus 8 - 0 Bucuresti (380803573)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and TINERETULUI saw a crowd turnout of 41177. Teemu Kärki was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Adolfs Janulavicus and Olexiy Nepiypyvo. Juventus had chosen a strategic 2-5-3 formation. The following players took the field: Deebank - Henestrosa, Radošević - Benites, Stoian, Căpraru, Raţiu, Gliga - Eckell, Delo, Simonetti.

Bucuresti decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Pelle - Cătescu, Cheregi, Jávorszki, Tudoreanu - Bărar, Indre, Stănescu, Diaconescu - Uilăcan, Haşcu.

Juventus were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Juventus fans held their breath as B. Căpraru scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 1 - 0! Juventus's E. Stoian saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 16 minutes. With 21 minutes played, B. Căpraru could have brought this one home for Juventus as he charged up on the left, but his hooked ball went just a bit too high. Cheers filled the stadium as H. Eckell broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 2 - 0 to Juventus. After this, you could see that the players of Juventus were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Juventus's G. Simonetti increasing the lead to 3 - 0. 37 minutes into the game, Juventus had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to solid. 3 - 0 was the score after the first half. Juventus enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 84 percent of possession.

A review of the gameplan helped Juventus get back to a excellent organisation when the referee blew his whistle again. H. Eckell should probably have put his team up another goal after 49 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by A. Pelle kept the visitors in the game. Juventus managed to extend their lead to 4 - 0 when E. Stoian cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. R. Benites's early cross saw the defenders caught out of position and the alert G. Simonetti was able to pounce and roll the ball past the hapless goalkeeper to score for Juventus. 5 - 0. Juventus's R. Benites struck his penalty well enough to beat the goalkeeper and extend the home team's lead to 6 - 0 after 66 minutes. Players in Juventus heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. R. Benites increased the lead for Juventus to 7 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! With 72 minutes played, Juventus put themselves up 8 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to L. Radošević, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. 74 minutes in, Juventus's H. Eckell received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. T. Delo left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 75 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. D. Mihai was the replacement. Bucuresti were forced into a substitution as R. Haşcu couldn't continue due to some rough treatment, forcing I. Onacă to come in off the bench. The Juventus players could smell victory in the air. B. Căpraru wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for 孟. 小川 (Ogawa) after 79 minutes. S. Deebank became the new Juventus captain. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Juventus coach let A. Fotescu replace L. Radošević after 80 minutes. Juventus claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 85 percent.

Juventus's top performer was clearly E. Stoian. On the other hand, 孟. 小川 (Ogawa)'s play was disheartening. Bucuresti's best player was I. Onacă. A. Pelle turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 8 - 0.
