Kabul 4 - 1 All-stars (381764974)

30389 punters turned up at David Arena, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Magnus Adelskär was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Henrik Wästerer and Riccardo Graffi. Everyone was excited about the upcoming Lazio derby and the crowd was divided evenly. A 4-5-1 alignment was the formation of choice for Kabul. They fielded: Strambini - Baudino, Zacharda, Testa, Ortolani - Attico, De Nunzio, Prunotto, Radwan, Neukert - Fruzza.

All-stars decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. Starters: Illescas - Günthart, Martella, Word - Kreivis, Buendgens, Eugster, Butter - Stumpo, Doellinger, Boujadi.

After a fine move down the middle D. Ortolani nearly gave the home side a goal after 3 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 6 minutes allowed Z. Boujadi to score for All-stars. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. All-stars's O. Martella left the field after 20 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was O. Bayard. S. Testa made a superb strike after 21 minutes with a shot straight in front of the goal after a long ball through the middle, but one of the visitors' defenders got a foot in at the last second and warded it off for a corner. 23 minutes into the game, A. Fruzza came close to levelling the score with a dangerous shot from the centre of the area that went just over the bar. It was 0 - 1 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Kabul, who controlled the ball 67 percent of the time.

D. Ortolani was just a finger's breadth away from an equaliser for Kabul with a strike from the left, but S. Illescas managed to ward the shot off for a corner. After a scuffle in the guests' penalty area 73 minutes into the game, the home team was awarded a penalty. A. Fruzza scored to make it 1 - 1. The home side put themselves ahead 2 - 1 after 74 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from A. Radwan, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. In an effort to secure the lead, Kabul changed their tactic after 74 minutes. After 74 minutes, the Kabul players received new instructions from their manager on how to keep in control of the game. C. Baudino left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 74 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. F. Girolamo was the replacement. Kabul's P. Attico refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 78 minutes. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Kabul to 3 - 1 as S. Testa finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. All-stars's D. Kreivis got himself booked for a foul. Cheers filled the stadium as D. Ortolani broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 4 - 1 to Kabul. Kabul had most of the ball, with 72 percent of possession.

The most dominating Kabul player was without a doubt D. De Nunzio. On the other hand, F. Girolamo's play was disheartening. All-stars's top performer was clearly T. Buendgens. However, O. Bayard made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 1.
