Mourners 0 - 6 Luizao (382906406)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Gallaical Stadium saw a crowd turnout of 12000. Kimmo Niittumäki was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Kai-Detlef Hüging and Siegbert Weiss. Mourners started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Landacaranda - Tudo, Galdo, Miolans, Montabes - Sirvent, Juara, Naranjo Cortés, Montero Escobar - Lohan, Calcina.

A 4-5-1 alignment was the formation of choice for Luizao. Starters: Pulido - Cameselle, Della Rosa, Amazonense, Echeverz - Federan, Castiçal, Mæhlum, Liljenén, Moro - Rigo.

A mistake by the home side's central defence after 24 minutes allowed D. Federan to score for Luizao. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. With the scoreboard showing that 26 minutes had been played, Luizao nearly put themselves up another goal after C. Mæhlum came through on the left. Fortunately for the home crowd, the keeper made the save. Some things can only be learned through experience, and P. Amazonense should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting Mourners a goal with 32 minutes of the match played. A. Miolans of Mourners was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. 36 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 2 as U. Cameselle finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. After 38 minutes, Luizao's D. Castiçal burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 3. By now, the players in Luizao felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. J. Rigo received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 40 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 4. The Luizao fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 4. Luizao claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 85 percent.

An amazing free kick flew past the home keeper 63 minutes into the match, putting Luizao ahead 0 - 5. D. Liljenén was the scorer. After 76 minutes a well-practised indirect free kick routine by Luizao was easily anticipated by the defenders. The players forward were so well marked, they were left with few viable options. With 79 minutes played, J. Rigo nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. C. Mæhlum came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over F. Landacaranda but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. With 85 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed C. Mæhlum of Luizao to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 6. Possession in this half belonged to Luizao, who controlled the ball 88 percent of the time.

P. Montero Escobar performed admirably for Mourners. F. Landacaranda was a disappointment, however. Most important Luizao player was D. Castiçal. On the other hand, F. Moro's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 6.
