Plutonese 0 - 10 BOBBY (381759439)

12000 spectators had come to San Pluto arena this cloudy day. Jackie Carranza was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Hellmut Rats and Timo Schlieder. Plutonese started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Scaramuzza - Semenzin, Puppa, Lopez, Agresta - Culicchia, Aspero, Spaziani, Candeli - Mazziotti, Carrieri.

BOBBY decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. Starters: López - Ernoyan, Auguets, Elvira, Backár - Guerreiro Alves, Di Bartolo, Cecinato, Andracchio - Kavuľa, Nygård.

The terraces were silenced after 7 minutes when BOBBY's A. Auguets put the guests ahead 0 - 1, following an attack on the right. With 15 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed R. Di Bartolo of BOBBY to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 2. With 18 minutes played, BOBBY put themselves up 0 - 3 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was J. Nygård. J. Nygård increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 4. By now, the players in BOBBY felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. F. Andracchio received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 31 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 5. The BOBBY fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. Halftime score was 0 - 5. BOBBY had most of the ball, with 84 percent of possession.

N. Kavuľa wanted to play on, but the BOBBY coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 46 minutes into the game by S. Pedri. The home crowd was not impressed when S. Pedri came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 47 minutes. BOBBY were now up 0 - 6. The BOBBY free kick 48 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of U. Cecinato, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 0 - 7! After 53 minutes, BOBBY raised their score by one when A. Guerreiro Alves's dangerous low cross was cleverly tucked in at the near post by J. Nygård. 0 - 8. At that, J. Nygård was noted down for a hat trick! After 59 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed S. Pedri to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 9. BOBBY came close to extending their lead as S. Pedri delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 72 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, A. Lopez got himself booked. The manager of Plutonese was not happy. The visitors' R. Di Bartolo took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 74 minutes into the match. 0 - 10 for BOBBY. The BOBBY players could smell victory in the air. J. Elvira wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for F. Campione after 82 minutes. BOBBY enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 87 percent of possession.

A. Mazziotti performed admirably for Plutonese. On the other hand, M. Agresta's play was disheartening. BOBBY's best player was U. Cecinato. F. Andracchio on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 10.
