Eliansito 0 - 4 Mortimers (382886254)

The 25928 spectators at El Leirón were in for an afternoon of sunshine. Medard Zálešák was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Elmar Ewers and David R. Vinterbrant. Eliansito decided to use a 2-5-3 set up. The following players took the field: das Neves - Bermeosolo, Towalewski - Rivada, Zarp, Ciaralli, Fernández, Sipina - Velastegui, Cienfuegos, Patrzykont.

Mortimers tactics involved an interesting 4-5-1 combination. Lineup: Miró - Panell, Ibarburen, Carcedo, Pëllumbi - Pardo, Villamarín, Niño, Navarro, Collferrer - Ametller.

Going for long shots seemed to be the strategy in use by Mortimers. Mortimers's defence sent a ball soaring up the middle on a beautiful counterattack with 18 minutes gone, but A. Ibarburen's finish was met by the reaching hands of the keeper. With 20 minutes gone, Mortimers had a free kick in a decent position. Despite this being a great chance for a shot, they tried a cheeky move intended to bypass the defence. However, C. Ametller did not manage to connect with it cleanly and the ball went out. It was obvious that the tactic of the day for Mortimers was to go for long shots, but in order to score they have to do better than the shooting attempt from A. Ibarburen after 27 minutes, which was a total failure. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 35 minutes into the match left Mortimers's E. Navarro completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. 0 - 1 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Mortimers, with 57 percent of the ball.

With 55 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed J. Carcedo of Mortimers to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 2. By now, the players in Mortimers felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. A. Ibarburen found it hard to catch his breath today in the stifling heat. E. Ciaralli got left behind when Mortimers's J. Collferrer made a sudden run forward after 66 minutes, finishing off with a neat strike. 0 - 3! After 71 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave C. Ametller a chance to increase the lead for Mortimers, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 4. Mortimers claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 57 percent.

The most dominating Eliansito player was without a doubt E. Ciaralli. X. Bermeosolo turned in a dismal performance, however. Mortimers's top performer was clearly V. Miró. A. Ibarburen on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 4.
