UCR 3 - 2 socialblanco67 (381815321)

Dark skies made the crowd of 24338 at CURVA SUD CREMONA a little nervous, but the rain held off. Freek Ronsse was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Aleksandar Tadić and José Aris. UCR tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Fleurence - Linna, Gryczka, Hovda - van Heel, Harunzhy, Reátegui, Leirvik, Seweryniak - Trombone, Vettorato.

socialblanco67 decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. The following players took the field: Hörblad - Theurillat, Echacán, Valdés, Screen - Parhon, Batalha, Lundt, Malaguti - Ducatez, Labourel.

socialblanco67 seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 3 minutes allowed K. Lundt to score for socialblanco67. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. I. Braendlein was called on to replace socialblanco67's N. Theurillat after 38 minutes following a nasty collision. 44 minutes into the match, UCR's C. Vettorato maneuvered his way around the opposition on the left flank, delighting the crowd with his twists and turns. The effort paid off as the ball found the back of the net, evening the score at 1 - 1. UCR's C. Vettorato tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. It was 1 - 1 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by UCR, with 52 percent of the ball.

After some beautiful movement down the left wing, M. Seweryniak scored for UCR putting them ahead 2 - 1, after 47 minutes. UCR will have to do without J. Reátegui for a time, due to a bad foot injury at the 53 minute mark. He was substituted by F. Del Nero. socialblanco67 levelled the score after 71 minutes to make it 2 - 2, as P. Labourel struck home after a fine midfield combination through the centre, which left him completely unmarked. They were singing the praises of R. Gryczka 73 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 3 - 2 to UCR. 79 minutes into the match, G. Leirvik could have extended the lead, but his powerful free kick went just over the bar. socialblanco67 had most of the ball, with 51 percent of possession.

The most dominating UCR player was without a doubt C. Vettorato. On the other hand, F. Del Nero's play was disheartening. socialblanco67's best player was K. Lundt. M. Hörblad was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 2.
