Tits 1 - 3 kostn (381376338)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and BT Stadium saw a crowd turnout of 25076. Sidney Leenheer was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Emilio Kattmann and Horacio Aldo Orieta. Tits started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Otto - Álvarez Sánchez, Georgilas, Boekhout - Jesus Soares, Reuven, Mineri, Noel, Cifuentes - Parmala, Chiarito.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for kostn. Starters: Caniglia - Soto Barón, Martínez, O´Caster - Švancara, Farkas, Lienhardt, Breynaert, Trischitta - Nakano, Tijani.

It was an obvious ambition of Tits to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. Tits took the lead after 15 minutes as a result of A. Mineri's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0. kostn's F. Trischitta was dominating his wing and kept sending fine balls into the opposition's box - N. Nakano managed to volley one of them into the net to make it 1 - 1 after 24 minutes. 1 - 2 was the score with 29 minutes played, after V. O´Caster cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for kostn. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, A. Reuven got himself booked. The manager of Tits was not happy. Some fine passing in the middle of the pitch, carving open the away defence, should have led to a goal for Tits, but Z. Noel's shot went over the bar. After 34 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for N. Nakano who increased kostn's lead to 1 - 3. 1 - 3 was the score after the first half. kostn had most of the ball, with 53 percent of possession.

After the ball was lifted in from the left, D. Tijani was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 69 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. Good work by the Tits defensive line after 70 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found P. Parmala alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. N. Nakano could have put his team up another goal 76 minutes into the game, after a rush down the left, but his closing shot hit the post. kostn enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of possession.

C. Jesus Soares performed admirably for Tits. R. Otto was a disappointment, however. kostn's best player was B. Farkas. On the other hand, F. Trischitta's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 3.
