Aquile 3 - 1 Wolfcity (381668028)

44140 spectators arrived at il nido dell'Aquila, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Nunzio Haus was the appointed referee. The derby had been the talk of Campania all week and fans of both teams could be seen throughout the stadium. Aquile decided to use a 5-3-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Pasãre - Ramaccioni, Killskog, Zimnis, Marchetti, Vitalone - Mpekos, Pêra, Knorr - Beckbrant, Bujanowski.

Wolfcity tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. Lineup: Carbonaro - Stjärnbo, Benefeldt - De Brauwer, Villamarín, Frosi, Pappagallo, Elkjær - van Wanrooij, Pritulyak, Krist.

Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Aquile. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to M. Bujanowski, but the Aquile player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! The corner kick from M. Bujanowski was powerfully met by the head of F. Pêra to make the score 2 - 0. After this, you could see that the players of Aquile were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. The referee showed Wolfcity's C. De Brauwer the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 12 minutes, Aquile did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, Y. Zimnis was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 3 - 0. The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 0. Aquile enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 53 percent of possession.

Wolfcity breathed new life into the game with an opportunity to reduce the score after 50 minutes, but the home side's defenders cleared the ball on the line, after a long shot coming in from the left rebounded off the crossbar. 52 minutes into the match, the visitors reduced the lead to 3 - 1 as a free kick by J. Krist slunk past the home side's goalkeeper. Wolfcity kept trying to force their way through on the right side and X. Villamarín got his chance after 66 minutes, but the home side's defence held their position and stopped the attack. Aquile's J. Pasãre had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 75 minutes having been played. C. Benetti was the replacement. Possession in this half belonged to Aquile, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

The most dominating Aquile player was without a doubt N. Ramaccioni. On the other hand, C. Benetti's play was disheartening. Wolfcity's top performer was clearly J. Krist. T. Benefeldt was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 1.
