Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 43672 to
Random arena.
Luis Pürro was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Asmo Ylitalo and
Dinos Katsanevas.
Studenci decided to use a 2-5-3 set up.
The following players took the field: Domínguez - Vičar, Keren - Valsecchi, Melamed, Nourisson, Kuba, Richardson - Afrazandeh, Alberti Rovira, Collet.
Smrkci had chosen a strategic 2-5-3 formation.
Lineup: Eckhoff - Korolovszky, Leszkoven - Puelma, Koron, Bratko, Kozole, Defaye - Košenina, Osmolak, Fusé.
Studenci broke through on the left 13 minutes into the game, with
M. Collet firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead.
G. Puelma of Smrkci received a yellow card after 17 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour.
20 minutes into the match the visitors levelled the score at 1 - 1 as
S. Košenina struck home from a rebound off the crossbar, following a shot from the right.
At 24 minutes played,
D. Alberti Rovira came in from the right with the intention of giving Studenci the lead, but his rocket of a shot rattled the crossbar.
G. Puelma gave the visitors the lead 39 minutes into the match to make it 1 - 2. The goal was scored from the penalty spot after a handball in the penalty area.
Studenci's
N. Richardson made a successful breakthrough on the left after 41 minutes and should have levelled the score, but instead he clipped it over the bar.
After 42 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed
S. Osmolak to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 1 - 3.
The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 3.
Possession in this half belonged to Studenci, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.
A. Afrazandeh of Studenci was able to make an impressive rush past the sluggish
O. Leszkoven, which resulted in a goal making the score 2 - 3.
Studenci's
M. Collet put his head to a high ball coming in from the right after 72 minutes, but the ball went wide.
Studenci's
K. Kuba made an attempt at equalising 82 minutes into the match, coming in from the right, but the ball hit the post and the defence easily cleared the rebound.
Studenci had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.
The most dominating Studenci player was without a doubt
D. Alberti Rovira.
N. Richardson was a disappointment, however.
Most important Smrkci player was
S. Osmolak.
S. Košenina on the other hand, had a terrible day.
The match ends 2 - 3.
