Pidiemme 6 - 1 Maravilia (381988431)

The 8388 spectators at Comunale P.d.M. were in for an afternoon of sunshine. Dimitry Pister was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jan-Nikolaus Lücke and Rutgerus Kemna. Pidiemme tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: van Gijzel - Pantaleon, Caviglia, Mirabella - Şahin, Díaz de Abadillo, Ipach, Guerradell, Casanova - Momentè, Maniero.

Maravilia had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. Starters: Gai - Toretto, Günan, Limor, Corull - van der Lans, Ravid, Lio, Restaino - Hooghe, Mandić.

The wings were the focus of most of Pidiemme's attacks today. Maravilia used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. A corner kick created great disorder in the penalty area with a goal nearly scored by U. Limor. At last, Maravilia's J. Corull was able to backheel the ball in. 0 - 1. With a shot curled in from just outside the middle of the penalty area after 10 minutes played, Ö. Şahin of Pidiemme made the score 1 - 1. Pidiemme took the lead 20 minutes in, as O. Momentè broke through on the left and put the 2 - 1 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. Coming in from the right, Pidiemme had a good opportunity to convert on a counterattack after 24 minutes, but R. Mirabella's attempt to finish was easily stopped. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Pidiemme to 3 - 1 as P. Maniero finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. T. Reinking was called on to replace Pidiemme's G. Guerradell after 33 minutes following a nasty collision. Pidiemme's A. Casanova got himself booked for a foul. Maravilia were forced into a substitution as Z. Mandić couldn't continue due to some rough treatment, forcing S. Siciliani to come in off the bench. 3 - 1 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to Pidiemme, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

After 52 minutes of play, Pidiemme's G. Pantaleon unexpectedly struck an inside out ball from no angle at all and P. Maniero slotted it into the net for 4 - 1. It was obvious that Pidiemme had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. After 60 minutes, A. Casanova put Pidiemme ahead 5 - 1 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. 61 minutes into the game, T. Hooghe had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came L. Tabell. Pidiemme had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. The Pidiemme players could smell victory in the air. O. Momentè wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for D. Gravagnoli after 65 minutes. Pidiemme managed to extend their lead to 6 - 1 when Ö. Şahin cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. The coach of Pidiemme was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 75 minutes, D. Helnes came on for R. Mirabella. P. Maniero unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. Maravilia's G. Lio was shown a yellow card after 84 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Pidiemme had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

Most important Pidiemme player was P. Maniero. D. Caviglia turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating Maravilia player was without a doubt G. Lio. However, G. Toretto made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 6 - 1.
