FC-Palazu 4 - 4 InSaNe (380850360)

21239 spectators arrived at FC-Palazu Mare Arena, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Erik Lauwagie was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Theodor Bălaşa and Mehrshad Ayoubinejad. FC-Palazu had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. Lineup: Saprykin - Zdroba, De Keukelaere, Euler - Baeckmann, Huirravoso, Capellino, Bârlădeanu - Fontenelle, Roncato, Häggblad.

InSaNe started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. Starters: Linkevičius - Lium, Nano, Petracchini - Oliveira, Corrocher, Vieira, Lara - Santos Anjos, Skinderholm, Derbali.

FC-Palazu were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. After 6 minutes of play, X. Fontenelle gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. The referee showed FC-Palazu's P. De Keukelaere the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Some things can only be learned through experience, and W. Euler should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting InSaNe a goal with 18 minutes of the match played. With 19 minutes played, FC-Palazu put themselves up 2 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to X. Fontenelle, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. After this, you could see that the players of FC-Palazu were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. The visitors replied 27 minutes into the game, reducing the home side's lead to 2 - 1, as F. Nano dashed up the middle, easily lobbing the ball over the home team's keeper. It was obvious that FC-Palazu had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. FC-Palazu managed to extend their lead to 3 - 1 when F. Baeckmann cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. With 37 minutes showing on the scoreboard clock, InSaNe showed some good skill and were able to reduce the score to 3 - 2 when C. Oliveira got past the home side's central defenders right in front of the goal. Players in FC-Palazu heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. FC-Palazu increased the lead as S. Roncato struck to make the score 4 - 2 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. 4 - 2 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by FC-Palazu, with 55 percent of the ball.

The coach of FC-Palazu was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 66 minutes, B. Hereş came on for F. Baeckmann. Ater 69 minutes M. Corrocher seized on an opportunistic attack from the right, and scored for InSaNe making it 4 - 3. The visitors refused to give in and, after 80 minutes, K. Skinderholm evened things up as he finished off a perfect pass from the right. 4 - 4 S. Saprykin looked great 83 minutes into the match after stopping a shot from the middle of the penalty area from the visitors' A. Santos Anjos. FC-Palazu enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 59 percent of possession.

Most important FC-Palazu player was X. Fontenelle. J. Huirravoso turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating InSaNe player was without a doubt A. Santos Anjos. However, F. Lara made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 4.
