previous 1/10 next 3/10  Madrid 1 - 0 kwai (382895765)

Clouds darkened the skies at La Jara's Hell as 46600 spectators turned up for the match. Patricio Baak was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Pietro Vandini and Thomas Gillig. Madrid had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Tarnow - Rodríguez Aznar, Canares, Chocopino - Tutuk, Varela, Smed, Kloiber, Rolfsson - Veidis, Kofinas.

A 5-3-2 alignment was the formation of choice for kwai. Starters: Şutru - Vale e Azevedo, Valles Pla, Laufen, Areaga, Cacique - Rubianes, Formentin, Zúñiga Velasco - Becker, Pol.

For their match strategy, kwai had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. Many thought P. Rolfsson ought to have been awarded a penalty 16 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around C. Şutru after a determined run through the middle. kwai were able to mount several counterattacks, such as the impressive one after 23 minutes, but J. Valles Pla lofted a free kick over the crossbar. A counterattack by kwai after 29 minutes could have resulted in a goal, but D. Pol, coming in on the left, couldn't get the shot off. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, D. Pol got himself booked. The manager of kwai was not happy. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to Madrid, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

Priding himself in being an active coach, the Madrid manager gave new instructions to his players after 64 minutes. R. Veidis gave Madrid the lead with a beautiful free kick after 73 minutes. 1 - 0! Madrid's R. Kloiber left the field after 80 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was V. Redondo. Madrid had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

Madrid's best player was G. Canares. F. Tarnow on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important kwai player was J. Rubianes. However, K. Areaga made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 0.
