A.C.Bacco 1 - 1 super8 (381664165)

Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 26330 at Perdinci Bacco Arena today. A.C.Bacco decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Starters: Passot - Karlin, Zanni, Eisenhardt - Benavídez, Pavone, Brienesse, Infrangibilis, Steinheim - Dixon, Ménesi.

super8 tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. They fielded: Juncosa - Tursi, Shpigler - Lardeux, Nieuwenburg, Lahtinen, Caramelo, Maxa - De Vitis, Cavallo, Lucangeli.

super8 were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. H. Eisenhardt gave A.C.Bacco the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0 After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, G. Zanni got himself booked. The manager of A.C.Bacco was not happy. A really bad tackle inside the penalty area 22 minutes into the match gave the referee no other choice but to award the visiting super8 a penalty. I. Shpigler knocked it home. 1 - 1 1 - 1 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by A.C.Bacco, with 53 percent of the ball.

M. Lucangeli would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. X. Chourizo entered the game for super8 as the match clock showed 46 minutes. We may never know what V. Lahtinen was thinking when he tried to pass the ball through a crowd of opponents. Luckily for him, A.C.Bacco's J. Dixon somehow missed the wide open net. 57 minutes had elapsed when a great chance for A.C.Bacco to take the lead after a good cross from the right found J. Dixon alone with the keeper, but he chipped it to the wrong side of the post. Some lightning fast two foot dribbles by J. Dixon left I. Shpigler way behind after 63 minutes, but the shot was just wide. Possession in this half belonged to A.C.Bacco, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

A.C.Bacco's best player was L. Brienesse. G. Zanni was a disappointment, however. Most important super8 player was S. Cavallo. On the other hand, I. Shpigler's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 1.
