farma1 0 - 7 siberia (381752293)

Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 12000 at farma1 Arena today. Roberto Garrido was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Lewis Thomas and Jan Jacobsen. farma1 started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Bavaro - Righi, Marin, Olmi, Cagnoni - Chiaverotti, Camisassa, Letizia, Cornaggia - Abrusci, Gambini.

siberia decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Liesting - Karamitrousis, López, Rietiker - Guart, Saseta, Cazzulati, Stori, De Schamphelaere - Bokhall, Horváth.

The wings were the focus of most of siberia's attacks today. F. Rietiker delivered a good free kick from an excellent position 9 minutes into the game, but luck wasn't on siberia's side this time and the ball went wide. 10 minutes into the game, F. Rietiker was a hair's breadth away from giving siberia the lead with a shot from over on the left. A prompt block by G. Bavaro saved the home team that time. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave A. Cornaggia from farma1 a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 28 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! F. Camisassa behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 32 minutes as he gave the ball away to M. Saseta. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. siberia took the lead after 33 minutes making the score 0 - 1. J. Horváth placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. farma1's W. Chiaverotti refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 35 minutes. After 37 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave J. Bokhall a chance to increase the lead for siberia, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 2. farma1's M. Olmi was shown a yellow card after 38 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Ó. López of siberia took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 41 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 3. It was 0 - 3 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to siberia, who controlled the ball 84 percent of the time.

The home crowd was not impressed when Ó. López came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 49 minutes. siberia were now up 0 - 4. The referee showed siberia's A. Stori the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. With 68 minutes played, siberia put themselves up 0 - 5 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was J. Horváth. By now, the players in siberia felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. After 74 minutes siberia's F. Cazzulati limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. 78 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 6 as F. Rietiker finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. With 83 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed J. Horváth of siberia to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 7. That made three goals for J. Horváth and he was marked down for the hat trick. siberia claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 86 percent.

farma1's best player was W. Chiaverotti. G. Bavaro turned in a dismal performance, however. siberia's top performer was clearly J. Horváth. On the other hand, A. De Schamphelaere's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 7.
