Divina 0 - 3 Nicorazia (381820927)

Dark skies made the crowd of 10607 at Harem a little nervous, but the rain held off. Ed Landuyt was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Helmut Euwe and David Arellano. Divina tactics involved an interesting 3-4-3 combination. The following players had been chosen: Jaržemskas - Bellissimo, Hizurun, Machado - Dorio, Reniu, Achurra, Rossi - Juhana, Di Rocco, Vieira.

Nicorazia had chosen a strategic 5-4-1 formation. Starters: Arcella - Măgirescu, Raposo, Polyantsev, Bilertas, Goldschmidt - Lallement, Parra, Tohmo, Bouw - Delaportella.

Today, Nicorazia's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. A free kick aimed at the keeper's far post almost gave Nicorazia the lead 2 minutes in, but the ball just wasn't able to squirm its way through the defensive wall. After 22 minutes, Nicorazia were awarded a free kick. Rather than shooting straight at goal, the taker went for an indirect variant which seemed to take his team mates a bit by surprise. A. Polyantsev did attempt a finish, but from an awkward position, sending the ball into the away fans. Attacking on the wings was the choice for Nicorazia, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. Divina's E. Rossi had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 27 minutes having been played. P. Strumidło was the replacement. P. Achurra became the new Divina captain. The terraces were silenced after 31 minutes when Nicorazia's A. Delaportella put the guests ahead 0 - 1, following an attack on the right. Divina's P. Strumidło was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 34 minutes. Halftime score was 0 - 1. Nicorazia enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 66 percent of possession.

The coach of Nicorazia was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, G. Steimer came on for G. Goldschmidt. 68 minutes into the match, A. Polyantsev came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. A well placed corner kick from J. Tohmo was followed by G. Raposo's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for Nicorazia, the score now 0 - 2. The home crowd was not impressed when A. Polyantsev came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 76 minutes. Nicorazia were now up 0 - 3. Nicorazia claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 65 percent.

Most important Divina player was J. Vieira. P. Strumidło turned in a dismal performance, however. A. Bouw performed admirably for Nicorazia. G. Steimer was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 3.
