Gava 0 - 0 Pickway (382921058)

21118 punters turned up at La Bobila, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Şeref Kırcaalili was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Luka Schuerer-Waldheim and Nico Duss. All of Catalunya was shut down for the day, as fans of both clubs came to the derby. Gava had chosen a strategic 5-4-1 formation. Lineup: Kontoulis - Ezquieta, Valdeón, Soares, Mier Marín, Pareja - Castelló, Agelet, Pirez, Lemmerer - Herrasti.

Pickway decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Starters: Vitón - Hoff, van der Zwan, Torra - Skiri, Cannadine, Bozok, Wennholt, Dell'Anna - Pineda, Citjo.

Gava were relying on their ability to counter-attack. This was a good period for the visitors, with several opportunities to take the lead, particularly when A. Pineda slipped through the defence on the right to come up alone against S. Kontoulis, but the home side's keeper showed his lightning reflexes. With 12 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of Gava resulted in a counterattack that set G. Agelet free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save. Pickway's S. Hoff got himself booked for a foul. With 31 minutes played C. Valdeón almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. When S. Hoff made yet another studs-first tackle after 38 minutes, the referee was obliged to book the Pickway player for the second time, sending him off the pitch. 0 - 0 was the score after the first half. Pickway claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.

Gava's S. Castelló tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. Gava created a good opportunity to score 89 minutes into the match when S. Castelló's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. After a fine move down the middle D. Herrasti nearly gave the home side a goal after 89 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. Possession in this half belonged to Gava, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

Gava's best player was R. Pirez. M. Lemmerer was a disappointment, however. A. Pineda performed admirably for Pickway. On the other hand, R. Dell'Anna's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 0.
