Machacon 2 - 3 Vasko (382891435)

40478 spectators arrived at GALISHOW, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Dennis Clephas was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Gabriel Fabião and Guillermo Ocampo. Machacon had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Misurati - Rufach, Keblis, Cecil - Puerto, Mar, Güney, Avınca, Cicatelli - Laublaus, Mozzoni.

A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Vasko. Starters: 淡安 (Danan) - Rösler-Schmidt, Boykov, Berensztajn - Schattenhofer, Schroeckenfuchs, Heke, Duysal - Utterstedt, Monterroso, Hoogendoorn.

Machacon had a chance to take the lead after R. Mozzoni's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 11 minutes. With 40 minutes played E. Mar almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. Machacon's A. Rufach was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 41 minutes. After 42 minutes, a long pass from Vasko's E. Duysal caught the defence out of position. X. Monterroso collected the ball, and with the goal at his mercy calmly rolled the ball just inside the post. 0 - 1. After 43 minutes of play, the free-spirited E. Duysal decided to go for goal as he struck the ball from the corner of the pitch. The ball hit a defender in the face and bounced out of play. With a shot curled in from just outside the middle of the penalty area after 44 minutes played, S. Cicatelli of Machacon made the score 1 - 1. After 44 minutes, Vasko sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached J. Hoogendoorn, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 1 - 2. Halftime score was 1 - 2. Machacon claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 52 percent.

After 82 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for H. Utterstedt who increased Vasko's lead to 1 - 3. One of many good crosses from L. Puerto on the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by M. Laublaus, who scored for Machacon. 2 - 3 Possession in this half belonged to Machacon, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

Machacon's best player was M. Laublaus. S. Cicatelli on the other hand, had a terrible day. X. Monterroso performed admirably for Vasko. T. Rösler-Schmidt turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 2 - 3.
