Oracolo 6 - 1 A.C.NDRU (381663295)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 47776 to La Tana dell'Orso. Renaud Bargain was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Ivo Pešl and Santiago Delgado. Oracolo decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Quadrio Aristarchi - Dominici, Caluri, Van Linden - Marinoni, Crevola, Durrant, Paridi, Gaccioli - Tokuda, Crivellaro.

A.C.NDRU tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Bove - Sordini, Iragorri, Candia - Collaro, Gottarelli, Buratti, Perrella, Lacrimini - Onto, Gogoncea.

19 minutes in, the referee awarded Oracolo a penalty. L. Crivellaro coolly slotted it home for a 1 - 0 lead. An accurate cross from G. Marinoni of Oracolo was met with a wonderful glancing header from L. Crivellaro, hitting the inside base of the post before nestling into the back of the net for 2 - 0. Oracolo increased the lead as M. Crevola struck to make the score 3 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. By now, the players in Oracolo felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. P. Paridi should probably have put his team up another goal after 34 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by P. Bove kept the visitors in the game. V. Onto hit the corner kick straight to the keeper, but it was mishandled, giving A.C.NDRU's M. Gogoncea an easy chance to knock it in for 3 - 1. Cheers filled the stadium as A. Durrant broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 4 - 1 to Oracolo. Halftime score was 4 - 1. Oracolo had most of the ball, with 75 percent of possession.

Coming from the right, P. Paridi almost managed to score another goal for Oracolo, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. 48 minutes into the game A.C.NDRU managed a counterattack, but V. Onto took a soft shot from the left flank that was easy prey for the alert keeper. Oracolo solidified their lead at the 75 minute mark, as R. Van Linden dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 5 - 1. M. Tokuda unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. With 79 minutes played, Oracolo put themselves up 6 - 1 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to R. Van Linden, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. Oracolo enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 76 percent of possession.

Oracolo's best player was L. Crivellaro. M. Crevola was a disappointment, however. The most dominating A.C.NDRU player was without a doubt V. Onto. G. Lacrimini turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 6 - 1.
