VivaElVino 2 - 1 Cervecera (382899337)

35476 punters turned up at El Bodegón, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Onat Türkeş was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Kamil Kud and Friedger Güntherodt. VivaElVino had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. The following players took the field: Berhoff - Šaletić, Boğataş, Rutsch - Gálvez, Waarland, Yahlaoui, Lauret - Proveniers, Billerbeck, Tapuchi.

Cervecera tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. Lineup: Fitó - Vangen, Ramos, Vig, Povlsen - Duus, Imbroda, Domokos, Senner - Kaewsang, Maquaire.

With the clock showing 12 minutes played, a great pass from the defensive line of Cervecera resulted in a counterattack that was smoothly brought under control by M. Domokos in the centre of the opposition's penalty area, but his finish went high. VivaElVino could have put themselves ahead after 29 minutes but F. Rutsch missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. The corner kick from S. Kaewsang was powerfully met by the head of A. Vig to make the score 0 - 1. VivaElVino's S. Boğataş was shown a yellow card after 41 minutes for slicing down an opponent. It was 0 - 1 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to VivaElVino, who controlled the ball 55 percent of the time.

The VivaElVino coach was desperate to reverse his team's fortunes in the game, and ordered his team to change strategy. Due to some great work on the right wing VivaElVino's S. Tapuchi was able to even the score after 56 minutes to make the score 1 - 1. After 70 minutes, the VivaElVino coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving A. Lauret off the field. M. Hois took his place. N. Billerbeck gave VivaElVino the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 2 - 1 A. Gálvez wanted to play on, but the VivaElVino coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 77 minutes into the game by R. Keist. VivaElVino claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 58 percent.

Most important VivaElVino player was N. Billerbeck. M. Berhoff turned in a dismal performance, however. Cervecera's top performer was clearly B. Imbroda. G. Senner on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 1.
