Real 0 - 8 corazzata (381936990)

5228 spectators had come to Real Pofi Arena this cloudy day. Manuel Melchiorri was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Mark Howard and Alexander Gerstenfeld. A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Real. Lineup: Megna - Romantini, Murgia, Fabris, Zaniboni - Focardi, Baron, Pistolato, Oddenino - Tarroni, Oliveri.

corazzata decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. Starters: Páez - Corna, Larsen, Hamela - Nicoletti, Godér, Bandini, Shmilovich - Sümerer, Wammer, N'Der.

Right from the start it was obvious that corazzata were expecting an easy victory. It was an obvious ambition of corazzata to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. The visiting W. Hamela was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 7 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. O. Shmilovich received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 19 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 2. The corazzata fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. F. N'Der fired a shot from distance after 25 minutes, but the long shot couldn't find the net for corazzata. The visitors added to their lead 31 minutes into the game, after a sensational penalty kick by corazzata's A. Sümerer slid just past the home keeper. 0 - 3. With 32 minutes played, D. Wammer of corazzata fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. With the scoreboard showing that 33 minutes had been played, corazzata nearly put themselves up another goal after I. Nicoletti came through on the left. Fortunately for the home crowd, the keeper made the save. corazzata made it 0 - 4 as W. Hamela got a touch to the floated corner kick and flicked the ball to I. Nicoletti who whipped a low drive in off the far post. The players of corazzata now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. The visitors almost increased their lead after 40 minutes when a sweetly hit free kick looked like it was heading for the top corner. However the keeper managed to get a fingertip to it, sending it over the bar. Halftime score was 0 - 4. corazzata had most of the ball, with 72 percent of possession.

F. N'Der wanted to play on, but the corazzata coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 67 minutes into the game by F. Alberani. The visitors' D. Wammer took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 69 minutes into the match. 0 - 5 for corazzata. The coach of corazzata was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 70 minutes, A. Yolavuç came on for O. Shmilovich. The home crowd was not impressed when P. Corna came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 76 minutes. corazzata were now up 0 - 6. D. Wammer of corazzata got sent off for kicking the ball after the whistle, a completely uncalled for move, earning him his second yellow card of the game. After 78 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed A. Godér to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 7. corazzata increased their lead after 79 minutes when A. Yolavuç broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 8, much to the home crowd's dismay. corazzata claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 76 percent.

Real's best player was A. Focardi. P. Megna was a disappointment, however. corazzata's top performer was clearly A. Sümerer. On the other hand, A. Yolavuç's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 8.
