jamamoto 0 - 9 Smaraci (382576819)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 12000 to sasuke arena. Morgan Provenzano was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Daniel Hedemann and Giorgio Stasi. jamamoto decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. They fielded: Bögre - Jekić, Maljević, Kérchy, Llubani - Ilić, Stanković, Ninković, Roczkó - Duvančić, Stokić.

A 4-3-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Smaraci. Starters: Međedović - Obrenović, Ruupunen, Zafirović, Sanz Escribano - Jozić, Ðorđević, Isailović - Stikić, Mikulić, Cvijić.

After 2 minutes, Smaraci's Ð. Jozić made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. With the scoreboard showing that 15 minutes had been played, Smaraci nearly put themselves up another goal after K. Mikulić came through on the left. Fortunately for the home crowd, the keeper made the save. Smaraci increased their lead after 22 minutes when S. Ðorđević broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 2, much to the home crowd's dismay. M. Grbić was called on to replace jamamoto's Ð. Duvančić after 23 minutes following a nasty collision. 28 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 3 as M. Stikić finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. After 31 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave T. Ruupunen a chance to increase the lead for Smaraci, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 4. Confident in their lead, Smaraci's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Halftime score was 0 - 4. Smaraci claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 75 percent.

K. Mikulić received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 62 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 5. The Smaraci fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. With 70 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed S. Ðorđević of Smaraci to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 6. The visitors' K. Mikulić took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 75 minutes into the match. 0 - 7 for Smaraci. After 79 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for T. Ruupunen who increased Smaraci's lead to 0 - 8. D. Isailović increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 9. Smaraci had most of the ball, with 80 percent of possession.

jamamoto's best player was E. Roczkó. R. Bögre on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Smaraci player was K. Mikulić. D. Zafirović was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 9.
