Verona 3 - 0 Renghèt (382015448)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Tempio Gialloblu' saw a crowd turnout of 20000. Artur Cardinal was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Rui Baptista and Joe Neal-Sturgess. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Verona. They fielded: Szumowski - Mazeraud, Manduchi, Gawenda - Diaz Casas, Podda, Admella, Netzfang, Risitano - Deliu, Zwoelfer.

Renghèt had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. The following players had been chosen: Reigl - Romanenko, Schjerven, Ichiro - Censi, Marangi, Fredbo, Gallego - Mendes, Hirsikangas, Pewniak.

They were singing the praises of M. Deliu 30 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 1 - 0 to Verona. With 35 minutes played, Verona's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to A. Netzfang he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 2 - 0. Halftime score was 2 - 0. Verona enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 53 percent of possession.

Verona's M. Manduchi swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. Cheers filled the stadium as S. Zwoelfer broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 3 - 0 to Verona. With 65 minutes played, J. Mendes had a fantastic opportunity to reply but his shot flew harmlessly into the side-netting of the goal. K. Szumowski made a brilliant save 68 minutes into the match, blocking a rocket of a shot from A. Hirsikangas on the right hand side. The coach of Verona was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 75 minutes, J. Schlutterbach came on for A. Netzfang. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Verona coach let R. Keup replace G. Risitano after 80 minutes. Neither team was controlling the possession at this point in the match, with the stats showing a 50:50 split.

The most dominating Verona player was without a doubt M. Deliu. K. Szumowski was a disappointment, however. Renghèt's best player was M. Pewniak. C. Reigl on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 0.
