Cambo 2 - 2 moncalierese (381802390)

Dark skies made the crowd of 17168 at ezequiel washington stadium a little nervous, but the rain held off. Lutz Repges was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Anders Johansson and Leho Ojasaar. Cambo decided to use a 2-5-3 set up. They fielded: Toifl - Tschanen, Blatter - Gabbo, Puyol, Kavanagh, Mandal, Fortis - 細谷 (Hosoya), Sil, Kamamoto.

moncalierese had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. The following players had been chosen: Piantadosi - Sejrsen, Lazzara, Negrini - Ferranti, Archi, Crivellari, Krecker - Skogly, Mazal, Friedheim.

After some beautiful movement down the left wing, R. Kavanagh scored for Cambo putting them ahead 1 - 0, after 3 minutes. After 5 minutes, O. Skogly sent the corner kick right to G. Crivellari who headed it sharply past the keeper. 1 - 1! Cambo's opponents know to be wary of S. Kamamoto's speed, but it made little difference as he flew past the defence 6 minutes into the game. Only the keeper could stop him - and he did with a perfectly timed dive! This was a good period for the visitors, with several opportunities to take the lead, particularly when L. Friedheim slipped through the defence on the right to come up alone against B. Toifl, but the home side's keeper showed his lightning reflexes. moncalierese took the lead 25 minutes into the game, making the score 1 - 2 after some elegant movement down the middle. L. Friedheim was the scorer. 33 minutes into the game, E. Mandal came close to levelling the score with a dangerous shot from the centre of the area that went just over the bar. No matter how hard he tried, S. Puyol just couldn't get his shot past the visitors' right side defence after 34 minutes. Cambo's S. Puyol got himself booked for a foul. moncalierese's D. Ferranti had to leave the pitch and there were no more available substitutions! It was 1 - 2 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Cambo, who controlled the ball 60 percent of the time.

F. Fortis was just a finger's breadth away from an equaliser for Cambo with a strike from the left, but A. Piantadosi managed to ward the shot off for a corner. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave G. Gabbo from Cambo a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 58 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! The game was close to savage at times, and Cambo's S. Puyol received a second yellow card after 65 minutes; his ticket out of the game. After 71 minutes, a deliberate handball from Cambo's G. Gabbo was judged to be his second bookable offence, and he was sent off. S. Kamamoto showed the skills that make him a real crowd pleaser as he, after 81 minutes, wove through the guests' entire central defence and put the 2 - 2 equaliser away. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Cambo, with 55 percent of the ball.

The most dominating Cambo player was without a doubt S. Kamamoto. However, F. Fortis made a disastrous appearance. A. Piantadosi performed admirably for moncalierese. G. Lazzara on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 2.
