RABID 7 - 1 Blazers91 (382132289)

9284 spectators had come to Cronenberg Arena this cloudy day. Fredy Kronegger was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jarle Øyen and Corentin Benazet. RABID started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Mereta - Borges, Fafalitis, Hani - Pires, Negri, Fernández, Wojdat - Urbansson, Kujawiński, Pitault.

Blazers91 decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. Lineup: Scolaro - Gleria, Risaliti, Ciotti, Bergo - Telani, Travaglio, Giuffrida, Tessarin - Bruscolotti, Viani.

Today, RABID's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. A corner kick created great disorder in the penalty area with a goal nearly scored by E. Bruscolotti. At last, Blazers91's S. Telani was able to backheel the ball in. 0 - 1. Unhappy with the result so far in the game, the RABID manager used a brief break in play after 4 minutes to give the players new directives. W. Borges behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 21 minutes as he gave the ball away to E. Tessarin. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. After 25 minutes, J. Fernández made a dash down the middle past the away team's defenders to score the goal that made it 1 - 1. A scuffle developed as players from both sides clashed following a tussle in the centre of the field 35 minutes into the match. After regaining order and consulting his linesman, the referee called Blazers91's S. Giuffrida to one side and produced a red card for the player. RABID took the lead 36 minutes in, as L. Urbansson broke through on the left and put the 2 - 1 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. RABID managed to extend their lead to 3 - 1 when J. Fernández cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. With 39 minutes played, S. Telani of Blazers91 fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. The visitors got a chance to pulling one back after 40 minutes, due to a defensive blunder leaving G. Bergo completely unmarked. His strike was pathetic though, easy prey for the home side's keeper. After 43 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and J. Wojdat gave the RABID supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 4 - 1. At this point, it was obvious that the players of RABID lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. 4 - 1 was the score after the first half. RABID enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 72 percent of possession.

As H. Hani had, completely unprovoked, swept the legs out from under an opponent in front of a linesman, the referee gave the RABID player a red card without batting an eyelid. Cheers filled the stadium as W. Borges broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 5 - 1 to RABID. B. Kujawiński increased the lead for RABID to 6 - 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! RABID put themselves up 7 - 1 when J. Fernández broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. That made three goals for J. Fernández and he was marked down for the hat trick. RABID claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 73 percent.

Most important RABID player was B. Kujawiński. C. Mereta on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Blazers91 player was without a doubt E. Bruscolotti. However, M. Scolaro made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 7 - 1.
