ERVORTICE 1 - 1 RealCarrassi (381686645)

27250 punters turned up at Tana dei Lupi, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Kim Risskog was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Gernot Riml and Jonas Beumkes. ERVORTICE had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players took the field: Aguilar - Saccu, Pérez Torres, Gasser - Spaden, Galfrè, Cavoni, Zanzottera, Vázquez - Palagyi, Loccioni.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for RealCarrassi. Lineup: Enriques - Chahar Rahi, Antal, Biagiotti, Krzyżaniak - Abrahamsohn, Mansour, Öllern, Guerrera - Cecchinato, Budassi.

D. Palagyi really should have scored when he was chosen by fate to confront a wide open goal following a great play by D. Cavoni after a corner. The visiting M. Chahar Rahi was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 18 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. ERVORTICE enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

After 46 minutes, ERVORTICE switched V. Loccioni with S. Rønningen, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. 49 minutes in, and ERVORTICE were able to score the equalising goal to make it 1 - 1 when S. Rønningen picked up a pass coming in from the right and chipped it past the away team's keeper. 67 minutes had elapsed when a great chance for ERVORTICE to take the lead after a good cross from the right found N. Saccu alone with the keeper, but he chipped it to the wrong side of the post. ERVORTICE's G. Zanzottera got himself booked for a foul. In a fantastic display of determination, RealCarrassi's L. Biagiotti forced himself to his feet, after an opponent viciously knocked him down. ERVORTICE claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 53 percent.

G. Zanzottera performed admirably for ERVORTICE. D. Spaden was a disappointment, however. RealCarrassi's best player was C. Cecchinato. On the other hand, M. Chahar Rahi's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 1.
