Garlasco 1 - 0 Gibboni (381804752)

Dark skies made the crowd of 20000 at F.C. Garlasco Park a little nervous, but the rain held off. Ruggiero Rominger was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Călin Anghelescu and Oleg Nicolaescu. Garlasco started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Lineup: Sene - Møller Hansen, Çalıkbey, Ferreira - Popescu, Kiedrzyn, Georgiev, Fontava, Penders - Oğuzkan, Wolfsen.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Gibboni. Starters: Laguda - Schröder, Marre, Josefsson, Langlais - Selvini, Hond, Gazzola, Krutkin - Černokus, Rozenbergs.

At 11 minutes played, M. Fontava came in from the right with the intention of giving Garlasco the lead, but his rocket of a shot rattled the crossbar. Gibboni's M. Josefsson had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 24 minutes having been played. L. Williams was the replacement. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Garlasco, with 63 percent of the ball.

With 57 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as M. Fontava flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. An equalising goal was close at hand, but J. Rozenbergs clipped a free kick just wide of the goal. Gibboni's V. Krutkin got himself booked for a foul. A loud groan was heard from the fans of Garlasco, as S. Çalıkbey left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. D. Andriopoulos took his place on the field. M. Fontava had a fantastic opportunity to put Garlasco up another goal 79 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. 80 minutes into the game, G. Laguda had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came D. Nangeroni. A. Wolfsen could have increased the lead after 85 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. Gibboni's E. Selvini was shown a yellow card after 86 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Possession in this half belonged to Garlasco, who controlled the ball 65 percent of the time.

Garlasco's top performer was clearly M. Fontava. D. Andriopoulos was a disappointment, however. Most important Gibboni player was G. Gazzola. However, D. Nangeroni made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 0.
