Krt 6 - 2 Franceschi (382000721)

11999 fans braved the pouring rain at KròCol Imperiale. Janno Oriola was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Vito Andrioli and Juan Santiago Ruiz de Galarreta. Fans of both teams had been eagerly awaiting this Emilia Romagna derby and were doing their best to outshout their opponents. A 2-5-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Krt. The following players had been chosen: Stibernitz - Gril, Milojković - Taucher, Mortensen, 福卫 (Fuwei) , Deiana, Montins - Tordoya, Iñigo-Ruiz, Díaz.

Franceschi started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Koume - Castelhano, Matrone, de Theije - Ascone, Mashinin, Montrone, Stolbikov, Danek - Nieć, Kezele.

Krt demonstrated their creative tactics on the field. P. Mashinin didn't let the weather get him down and made some great moves on the pitch in spite of the rain. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 11 minutes into the match left Franceschi's B. Kezele completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. 伊. 福卫 (Fuwei) was struggling to make the ball dance with his usual trickery and panache, and the opposing players had little trouble shutting him down in these muddy conditions. After 24 minutes, T. Taucher made a dash down the middle past the away team's defenders to score the goal that made it 1 - 1. Franceschi's M. Stolbikov was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 29 minutes. Krt took the lead 32 minutes into the game by 2 - 1, as T. Montins elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. Given a free kick close to the byline, Krt tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let A. Tordoya slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 3 - 1, 41 minutes into the game. Confident in their lead, Krt's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Krt's H. Gril had an excellent opportunity after 44 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! 3 - 1 was the halftime score. Krt enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 51 percent of possession.

P. Montrone of Franceschi was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Krt's 伊. 福卫 (Fuwei) increased the lead to 4 - 1, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 64 minutes. Krt solidified their lead at the 68 minute mark, as E. Iñigo-Ruiz dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 5 - 1. P. Montrone of Franceschi got sent off for kicking the ball after the whistle, a completely uncalled for move, earning him his second yellow card of the game. 75 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as A. Tordoya broke through, making the score 6 - 1 for Krt. The home team's fans were upset when, after 79 minutes, the visiting M. de Theije broke through the central defence and kicked the ball past the keeper. 6 - 2 was the score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Krt, with 58 percent of the ball.

Most important Krt player was G. Díaz. However, D. Stibernitz made a disastrous appearance. Franceschi's best player was P. Mashinin. E. Ascone turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 6 - 2.
