Camillo 2 - 2 Aloic (382040477)

The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 12000 had shown up at RedMillo Arena for the match. Dara Guilpain was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Burkhart Völzke and Sang-Hoon Bang. Camillo had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. Starters: Yousef - Gastealzategui, Manzur, Vaimare - Bečička, Tudorache, Cigoli, Sabiniarz - Loric, Vino, Mariën.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Aloic. The following players took the field: Resende - Åhin, Al-Najjar, Friesen-Miltitz - Eito, Franco, Farkas, Sprotte, Bogatu - van Wijngaarden, Cornu.

Today, Camillo's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. Aloic saw most attack opportunities on the wings. Players in Aloic heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. K. Cornu had a good opportunity to give Aloic the lead as he charged down the right and struck the ball towards the top corner, but the home team's goalkeeper made the save. The home crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief when M. Farkas was unable to put the ball in the net after his show of skill down the left 32 minutes into the match. He was seen beating the pitch in frustration at missing such a good chance to give his team the lead! After 33 minutes a well-practised indirect free kick routine by Camillo was easily anticipated by the defenders. The players forward were so well marked, they were left with few viable options. There was concern in the stands when, at the 35 minute mark, Aloic's M. Al-Najjar hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. Camillo took the lead 38 minutes in, as C. Vino broke through on the left and put the 1 - 0 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. 39 minutes into the match the visitors levelled the score at 1 - 1 as E. Eito struck home from a rebound off the crossbar, following a shot from the right. 1 - 1 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Aloic, with 58 percent of the ball.

51 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Aloic substitution. I. Siozos came on for K. Cornu. A. Loric was the first to reach the corner kick, but his header was blocked by the keeper. However, Camillo's M. Gastealzategui managed to get hold of the rebound and tucked the ball into the empty net. 2 - 1 The visitors' L. Bogatu came close to levelling the score after 69 minutes with a free kick that went just wide of the top left corner. Aloic's J. van Wijngaarden was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 71 minutes. M. Sprotte tied the game at 2 - 2 after 74 minutes, when he converted an incredible pass from the right. 79 minutes into the game, M. Farkas had a great chance to put his team ahead, but his kick from the left went wide. A. Manzur of Camillo was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Aloic claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 58 percent.

Camillo's best player was C. Vino. On the other hand, P. Sabiniarz's play was disheartening. J. van Wijngaarden performed admirably for Aloic. J. Resende was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 2.
