Fronchy 1 - 2 Begonya (382888415)

A scorching day at Miguel Fuenllana, where 26210 spectators were in place for today's match. Simion Ioveanu was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Erik Mårtensson and Viktor Csizmazia. Fronchy tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. The following players had been chosen: Martin - Roldán Rendon, Bang Christiansen - Arkhireev, Caínzos, Orsós, Elies, Pedró - Osete, Wittek, Matkócsik.

Begonya decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. Starters: Verlo - Tutu, Osorio, Pizarro, Stratz - Husseiny, Hita, Gil, Ardines, Mihaylov - Baleira.

Begonya were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Fronchy took the lead 8 minutes into the game by 1 - 0, as M. Matkócsik elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. Begonya had to manage with a reduced squad after 23 minutes, as R. Baleira got sent off for a needless foul away from the game's action. The bicycle kick from G. Pedró would have been the Goal of the Year for Fronchy, had it not hit the post. It was obvious that Begonya had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. S. Osorio tied the game at 1 - 1 after 29 minutes, when he converted an incredible pass from the right. R. Orsós dispatched a majestic long shot 30 minutes into the match, but missed the goal by a few metres. The visitors were very close to gaining the lead with a marvellous free kick after 32 minutes, but A. Martin made a beautiful one-handed save. 1 - 1 was the halftime score. Fronchy enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 53 percent of possession.

Usually a powerful player on the field, G. Osete looked kind of pale and tired under the hot sun. The terraces were silenced after 83 minutes when Begonya's P. Hita put the guests ahead 1 - 2, following an attack on the right. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Fronchy, with 53 percent of the ball.

L. Wittek performed admirably for Fronchy. G. Pedró was a disappointment, however. Begonya's top performer was clearly D. Pizarro. However, A. Gil made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 2.
