BlueTornado 8 - 1 dalis (382105545)

9884 spectators arrived at BlueTornado Arena, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Jukka Pöllänen was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Stanislaw Moser and Ulf 'L' Andreasson. A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for BlueTornado. The following players had been chosen: Cataldo - D'Argenio, Novati, Verì - Pettorossi, Masoni, Vergnani, Ciceri - Valsecchi, Folegani, Fortuna.

dalis started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. They fielded: Zanellati - Pepeverde, Occhi, Garella, Lullin - Tolotto, Caligiuri, Grisi, Bottegal - Serratore, Toscano.

BlueTornado took the lead after 16 minutes as a result of P. Ciceri's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0. A. Toscano tied the game at 1 - 1 after 22 minutes, when he converted an incredible pass from the right. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to L. Vergnani, but the BlueTornado player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 2 - 1! After 39 minutes, F. Folegani put BlueTornado ahead 3 - 1 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. After 40 minutes, BlueTornado sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached A. Fortuna, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 4 - 1. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, G. Tolotto got himself booked. The manager of dalis was not happy. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave M. Bottegal from dalis a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 42 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! BlueTornado were forced into a substitution as E. Masoni couldn't continue due to some rough treatment, forcing B. Gamalero to come in off the bench. Halftime score was 4 - 1. BlueTornado enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 78 percent of possession.

Things were going to get worse for the visitors. M. Pettorossi squirmed through their central defence after 54 minutes, increasing the lead to 5 - 1. Coming from the right, P. Ciceri almost managed to score another goal for BlueTornado, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. B. Gamalero's lack of experience almost gave dalis a goal after 66 minutes, but the shot went right into the keeper's arms. BlueTornado put themselves up 6 - 1 when F. Folegani broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. Confident in their lead, BlueTornado's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. With 72 minutes played, BlueTornado's N. D'Argenio almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. BlueTornado's L. Vergnani got himself booked for a foul. A. Fortuna increased the lead for BlueTornado to 7 - 1, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! Things were deteriorating for the away team as BlueTornado scored another to make it 8 - 1 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for A. Fortuna after 81 minutes. At that, A. Fortuna was noted down for a hat trick! BlueTornado had most of the ball, with 81 percent of possession.

L. Vergnani performed admirably for BlueTornado. P. Cataldo turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important dalis player was M. Lullin. C. Zanellati on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 8 - 1.
