NANDO-199 3 - 0 Scanzano (381876172)

19100 spectators had come to NANDO STADIUM this cloudy day. Fredrik Sahlhult was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Giorgio Lora and Vittorio Giacomelli. NANDO-199 decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Alaminos - Westerbeek, Dose, Geissberger - Pilch, Lunde, Valerija, Rodbertus, Dudek - Pequeno, Cortiñas.

A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Scanzano. The following players had been chosen: Zadworny - Almeida, Pereira, Dogomar - Zucchini, Tejera, Chapelle, Mollica - Stasiak, Dimartino, Hostenbach.

Scanzano mostly relied on their long range shooting ability. NANDO-199 created a good opportunity to score 14 minutes into the match when J. Pequeno's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. NANDO-199's J. Pequeno proved that he's been around on a football pitch before, when he took advantage of a few moments of confusion in the opposition's defensive line and elegantly scored for 1 - 0. It was obvious that the tactic of the day for Scanzano was to go for long shots, but in order to score they have to do better than the shooting attempt from M. Dogomar after 36 minutes, which was a total failure. Scanzano's G. Mollica got himself booked for a foul. NANDO-199's J. Pequeno increased the lead to 2 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 40 minutes. After this, you could see that the players of NANDO-199 were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. NANDO-199's R. Geissberger placed the ball right at his teammate's feet after a corner, but F. Rodbertus couldn't finish. NANDO-199's W. Dudek was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 42 minutes. R. Dose received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 44 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. 2 - 0 was the halftime score. NANDO-199 had most of the ball, with 68 percent of possession.

With 55 minutes played, NANDO-199's I. Cortiñas almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. With 57 minutes played, NANDO-199 put themselves up 3 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to P. Valerija, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. I. Cortiñas could have increased the lead after 73 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. J. Pilch had a fantastic opportunity to put NANDO-199 up another goal 80 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. NANDO-199 enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 68 percent of possession.

NANDO-199's best player was I. Cortiñas. P. Alaminos on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Scanzano player was without a doubt B. Hostenbach. However, A. Almeida made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 3 - 0.
