Marítim 5 - 0 Salamon (382898958)

33339 spectators arrived at Manigan, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Manuel Rubio Llorente was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Fahrettin Sevener and Tonni Lyngaa. Marítim decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. The following players had been chosen: Pidal - Celeban, Munill, Solís - Gilimón, Bustelo, Oltean, Mantas - Copermans, Luyckfasseel, Jaroń.

Salamon started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Permanyer - Altimirs, Isasa, Maestro González - Neves, González-Cavada, Granatiero, Cebreiros, Jevstegnejevas - Schiatti, Losada Pastor.

Going for long shots seemed to be the strategy in use by Salamon. E. Copermans's speed was clear to see after 22 minutes, as he darted down the wing and released W. Jaroń who placed the ball into the back of the net to make the score 1 - 0. The visitors' G. Schiatti came close to levelling the score after 27 minutes with a free kick that went just wide of the top left corner. Marítim solidified their lead at the 37 minute mark, as A. Celeban dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 2 - 0. 38 minutes into the game, M. Munill had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came R. García Gallego. Marítim's G. Luyckfasseel had an excellent opportunity after 41 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! With the clock showing 42 minutes played, a great pass from the defensive line of Salamon resulted in a counterattack that was smoothly brought under control by F. Losada Pastor in the centre of the opposition's penalty area, but his finish went high. After 43 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and G. Oltean gave the Marítim supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 3 - 0. By now, the players in Marítim felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. E. Copermans unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. It was 3 - 0 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Marítim, who controlled the ball 56 percent of the time.

The Marítim coach was visibly pleased with the score so far, but still ordered a few tactical changes 70 minutes into the game. In an effort to secure the lead, Marítim changed their tactic after 75 minutes. After 75 minutes, Marítim raised their score by one when G. Gilimón's dangerous low cross was cleverly tucked in at the near post by W. Jaroń. 4 - 0. The home side's W. Jaroń came close to extending the lead 82 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but Q. Permanyer managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. 85 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as R. García Gallego broke through, making the score 5 - 0 for Marítim. Marítim had most of the ball, with 57 percent of possession.

The most dominating Marítim player was without a doubt M. Pidal. R. García Gallego on the other hand, had a terrible day. Salamon's top performer was clearly G. Schiatti. A. Jevstegnejevas was a disappointment, however. The match ends 5 - 0.
