Ploiesti 6 - 0 FC-Barcelona-77 (380877936)

27304 punters turned up at Nou Camp, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Thomas Oskarsson was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Kenan Cansever and Mark Futterknecht. Ploiesti decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Gagea - Bodaan, Duvgård, Iordache - Tobiassen, Ferrara, Gravagnuolo, Massallé, Boye - Sarracino, Yousef.

FC-Barcelona-77 had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. They fielded: Cabrera - Steinecke, Knasiak, Paraprastanitis - Zăvoiu, Bragadini, Noapteş, Orsós - Kiss, Prigoană, Paiva Souza.

Ploiesti mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. FC-Barcelona-77 tried to focus their attacks down the middle. With 3 minutes played, E. Boye of Ploiesti fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. They were singing the praises of P. Sarracino 6 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 1 - 0 to Ploiesti. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave E. Tobiassen from Ploiesti a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 18 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! L. Kiss of FC-Barcelona-77 had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. I. Zală came in to finish the match. With 26 minutes played, Ploiesti's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to P. Sarracino he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 2 - 0. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Ploiesti to 3 - 0 as A. Massallé finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. It was 3 - 0 at the break. Ploiesti claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 73 percent.

E. Boye increased the lead for Ploiesti to 4 - 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! After this, you could see that the players of Ploiesti were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Ploiesti were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. Ploiesti increased the lead as H. Yousef struck to make the score 5 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. There was concern in the stands when, at the 74 minute mark, Ploiesti's D. Gagea hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. 75 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as O. Gravagnuolo broke through, making the score 6 - 0 for Ploiesti. Ploiesti enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 70 percent of possession.

Ploiesti's best player was P. Sarracino. However, T. Bodaan made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating FC-Barcelona-77 player was without a doubt T. Paiva Souza. V. Cabrera on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 6 - 0.
