1000giri 8 - 2 Correzzana (382084277)

Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 4515 at a casa mia today. Tue Gunnar Kjær was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Kostis Tapinos and Martin Wiking. The derby had been the talk of Lombardia all week and fans of both teams could be seen throughout the stadium. 1000giri had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. The following players took the field: Fasciano - Heck, Gunale, Marinangeli - Campanaro, Teixeira, Reina, Cederle - Castignoli, Travelmann, Steuber.

Correzzana started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Corazzesi - Però, Liserre, Gervasi, Burzachechi - Lucchetta, Casano, Palazzetti, Novelli - Licitra, Enriques.

1000giri fans held their breath as M. Reina scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 1 - 0! G. Mantegazza was called on to replace Correzzana's F. Casano after 8 minutes following a nasty collision. A. Però tied the game at 1 - 1 after 13 minutes, when he converted an incredible pass from the right. Correzzana's G. Mantegazza got himself booked for a foul. V. Castignoli gave 1000giri the lead with a beautiful free kick after 30 minutes. 2 - 1! 35 minutes into the game, 1000giri seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a inadequate level of organisation. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in 1000giri's M. Steuber increasing the lead to 3 - 1. Halftime score was 3 - 1. 1000giri claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 72 percent.

The coach gave his players an extra tactical briefing during the break, and after that 1000giri had solid organisation. After 48 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and A. Marinangeli gave the 1000giri supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 4 - 1. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 49 minutes, 1000giri did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, D. Gunale was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 5 - 1. The players of 1000giri now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. V. Castignoli had a fantastic opportunity to put 1000giri up another goal 52 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. After 58 minutes, Correzzana's A. Burzachechi fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! After 59 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as 1000giri found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to poor. After 63 minutes, A. Però sent the corner kick right to F. Liserre who headed it sharply past the keeper. 5 - 2! With 68 minutes played, 1000giri's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to P. Travelmann he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 6 - 2. The 1000giri players could smell victory in the air. P. Travelmann wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for P. Del Bottegone after 70 minutes. The coach of 1000giri was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 75 minutes, R. Arvesen came on for A. Teixeira. B. Campanaro left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 75 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. D. Pezão was the replacement. Things were deteriorating for the away team as 1000giri scored another to make it 7 - 2 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for D. Pezão after 79 minutes. M. Steuber made a nice dash down the wing after 80 minutes, but was unable to get the cross into the box. A goal kick was awarded. 81 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as P. Del Bottegone broke through, making the score 8 - 2 for 1000giri. 1000giri's A. Marinangeli was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 82 minutes. Possession in this half belonged to 1000giri, who controlled the ball 74 percent of the time.

Most important 1000giri player was V. Castignoli. D. Gunale on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Correzzana player was without a doubt G. Mantegazza. A. Gervasi turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 8 - 2.
