Comano 1 - 2 Ohtizity (381724895)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 31318 to bridge of the arch. Bernabé De Las Casas was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Tommi Alaranta and Øyvind Eriksen. A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Comano. The following players had been chosen: Salaorni - D'Angelantonio, Arcuanto, Hawkins - Vestri, Arca, Di Silvestro, Consiglio - Solmi, van Zundert, Yousif.

Ohtizity tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. They fielded: Bercan - Medeot, Rohrer, Podskalský - Gomes, Paritario, Bettini, Belsky Crespo, Stieglbauer - Cruz, Monte.

With 4 minutes played, G. Solmi of Comano fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. Ohtizity's P. Podskalský managed to lose the defenders as he advanced down the right wing and scored, putting the visitors ahead after 8 minutes. 0 - 1. D. Rohrer of Ohtizity was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. 0 - 1 was the score after the first half. Comano claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 57 percent.

Unhappy with the result so far in the game, the Comano manager used a brief break in play after 50 minutes to give the players new directives. 62 minutes into the game, U. Di Silvestro came close to levelling the score with a dangerous shot from the centre of the area that went just over the bar. After 66 minutes, a deliberate handball from Comano's G. Solmi was judged to be his second bookable offence, and he was sent off. Comano had to make a substitution after 72 minutes. M. Arca limped off the field and was replaced by B. Korać. The crowd chanted their encouragement as Comano's C. Consiglio came in from the right after 84 minutes and put the ball in the net to level the score at 1 - 1. The referee showed Comano's A. Yousif the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. The player down was T. Paritario. The Ohtizity bench looked worried for a while, but in the end he managed to get up. The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of Ohtizity's D. Rohrer after 87 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 1 - 2 lead. Possession in this half belonged to Comano, who controlled the ball 55 percent of the time.

Comano's best player was B. van Zundert. B. Korać on the other hand, had a terrible day. Ohtizity's top performer was clearly C. Monte. On the other hand, G. Gomes's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 2.
