Nutella 2 - 1 Tigerix (381668327)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 48606 to Black Box. Luca Armand was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Heinz Dornbach and Enrico Piscopo. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Nutella. Starters: Pipeleers - Tauber, Bombardiello, Kölln - Riccardo, Reixachs, Froemmel, Calheiros, Iisakka - Fañanas, Minnie.

Tigerix started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Ferraiuolo - Frostenstedt, Mondino, Morawiak - Veldt, Vanegas, Sekula, Mohn, Teräsvaara - Elstal, Huhtala.

19 minutes into the game, H. Teräsvaara finished off a Tigerix left wing counterattack, making the score 0 - 1. Nutella tried to even things up by sending a long ball towards the centrally placed strikers, but the visitors' defence got the best of this rather direct style of play. With a shot curled in from just outside the middle of the penalty area after 23 minutes played, R. Calheiros of Nutella made the score 1 - 1. Halftime score was 1 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Nutella, with 51 percent of the ball.

M. Iisakka would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. E. Abbatangelo entered the game for Nutella as the match clock showed 46 minutes. 66 minutes into the game, H. Teräsvaara almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. Nutella showed their counterattack skill 67 minutes into the match by breaking through the middle, with M. Minnie scoring uncontested for 2 - 1. Tigerix had a chance to level the score as T. Huhtala suddenly found himself free in the middle of the box with only the keeper to beat, but he misjudged the finish, and only managed to hit the bar. Possession of the ball saw an equal split between the teams during the forty-five minutes.

Nutella's best player was M. Pipeleers. On the other hand, E. Abbatangelo's play was disheartening. The most dominating Tigerix player was without a doubt T. Huhtala. However, U. Ferraiuolo made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 1.
