Solana 0 - 1 Colgados (382904883)

A scorching day at La Morrilla Arena, where 36539 spectators were in place for today's match. Vasily Baranov was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Stefan N. Hansson and Grigoris Gagalidis. Solana decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Starters: Hegedűs - Wade, Todea, Koneczna - Neil, Trimone, Nessquist, Viscasillas, Dorosiński - Daskalos, Ortiz.

Colgados started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Fontaneda - Peres, Tacuba, Salcedo - Cózar, Sotelo, Albuquerque, Santacruz, Moreno Cala - Narbona Sales, Atmetllé.

16 minutes into the game, J. Narbona Sales was a hair's breadth away from giving Colgados the lead with a shot from over on the left. A prompt block by P. Hegedűs saved the home team that time. The referee showed Solana's N. Daskalos the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. I. Ortiz's experience almost gave Solana a goal after 32 minutes but the keeper made a great save. Slack defending gave Solana a chance to take the lead with 39 minutes played, but I. Ortiz's cross from the left flank was fumbled in front of the goal and easily dealt with by the opposition. W. Dorosiński was doing a great job on his wing, sending in brilliant passes to his teammates in the middle, but I. Neil seemed unable to profit from this excellent service. Solana were very close to putting themselves one up after 41 minutes as I. Ortiz got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. It was 0 - 0 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Solana, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 57 minutes into the match, and J. Narbona Sales wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 0 - 1 for the visitors. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave D. Albuquerque from Colgados a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 68 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! The visitors almost increased their lead after 80 minutes when a sweetly hit free kick looked like it was heading for the top corner. However the keeper managed to get a fingertip to it, sending it over the bar. Some fine passing in the middle of the pitch, carving open the away defence, should have led to a goal for Solana, but I. Neil's shot went over the bar. Solana claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 58 percent.

Solana's top performer was clearly N. Daskalos. On the other hand, P. Hegedűs's play was disheartening. Most important Colgados player was J. Atmetllé. However, V. Salcedo made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 1.
