Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 47359 at
Catalunya independent today.
Guillem Sendarrubias was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Raúl Tapia D'Avila and
Vital Kantz.
MofkeiSs had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation.
The following players had been chosen: Gröhn - Gold, Kopietz, Mentzer - Håland, Viturro, Llimona, Pecina - Gattinger, Palaczky, Montiel.
Celtic started off with a 3-5-2 lineup.
The following players took the field: Procaccianti - Treu, Son, Xarpell - Bejarano, Pujol, Yacobson, Vadillo, Isca - Navarro, Suárez.
MofkeiSs took the lead 6 minutes into the game by 1 - 0, as
R. Montiel elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar.
After 14 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and
M. Håland gave the MofkeiSs supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 2 - 0.
MofkeiSs's
M. Llimona saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 22 minutes.
MofkeiSs were given a gift! The ref dubiously awarded them a penalty 23 minutes into the match, which was neatly put away by
J. Kopietz. 3 - 0 for the home side.
The players of MofkeiSs now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle.
The score became 4 - 0 at 27 minutes into the game, when MofkeiSs were given a penalty which
J. Kopietz blasted straight down the middle giving the keeper no chance!
4 - 0 was the score after the first half.
Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by MofkeiSs, with 56 percent of the ball.
F. Gattinger left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 70 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead.
O. Morales Guzman was the replacement.
MofkeiSs's
S. Mentzer was shown a yellow card after 70 minutes for slicing down an opponent.
Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Celtic's
D. Pujol was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 75 minutes.
R. Fañanas was given a chance to change things around.
Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 77 minutes, Celtic did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker,
L. Xarpell was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 4 - 1.
In the lead, MofkeiSs adjusted their style of play with 85 minutes gone.
Possession in this half belonged to MofkeiSs, who controlled the ball 61 percent of the time.
The most dominating MofkeiSs player was without a doubt
M. Palaczky.
O. Morales Guzman was a disappointment, however.
Most important Celtic player was
B. Son.
However,
A. Bejarano made a disastrous appearance.
The match ends 4 - 1.
