Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 62000 at
New Campillo Stadium today.
Andrea Rossi was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Thomi Marfia and
Johnny Hartmann.
Dinamo decided to use a 3-5-2 set up.
Lineup: Sitjà - Albin, Arrabal, Estadell - Mendez Nuñez, Puig Cerda, Salvador, Ezaval, Moshe - Landín, Ganogald.
Cervezas started off with a 4-5-1 lineup.
The following players took the field: Šrajber - Goyeneta, Salcedo, Pollaci, Sichis - Kilsgaard, Gaibor, Ocaña, Fjelde, Gaist - Garus.
Cervezas immediately set off using their skill at pressing their opponents.
Dinamo were very close to putting themselves one up after 2 minutes as
B. Landín got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide.
Dinamo had to make a substitution after 23 minutes.
K. Puig Cerda limped off the field and was replaced by
M. Saalburg.
M. Saalburg was handed the Dinamo captain's armband.
A well placed corner kick from
B. Landín was followed by
G. Arrabal's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for Dinamo, the score now 1 - 0.
After 43 minutes,
A. Ezaval put Dinamo ahead 2 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing.
2 - 0 was the score after the first half.
Dinamo enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of possession.
B. Moshe had a fantastic opportunity to put Dinamo up another goal 50 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar.
After 70 minutes, Cervezas switched
N. Pollaci with
S. Kozu, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch.
The Cervezas captaincy was handed to
F. Kilsgaard.
B. Landín should probably have put his team up another goal after 76 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by
T. Šrajber kept the visitors in the game.
As the game started to slip away for Cervezas, the manager decided to change the tactical approach.
Dinamo claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 60 percent.
B. Landín performed admirably for Dinamo.
M. Saalburg on the other hand, had a terrible day.
Most important Cervezas player was
I. Garus.
On the other hand,
S. Kozu's play was disheartening.
The match ends 2 - 0.
