previous 4/10 next 6/10  Rullus 1 - 4 LPC (382926631)

Clear skies welcomed the 26792 spectators who had made their way to Estadi Rullu's F.C.. Zdzisław Litkowiec was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Lucien Nederlof and Giuseppe Raffa. Fans of both teams had been eagerly awaiting this Catalunya derby and were doing their best to outshout their opponents. Rullus started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Santoro - Sarıbay, Sobeck, Opriţescu - Carnevale, Mar Zueros, Gragnani, Boudier, Izaurralde - Schifano, Lis.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for LPC. Lineup: Grootswagers - Pré, Bech, Stankov - Jasevičius, Escudero, Palamides, Hurrila, Rezbárik - Argüelles, Săvulescu.

LPC tried to focus their attacks down the middle. Many thought E. Carnevale ought to have been awarded a penalty 11 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around J. Grootswagers after a determined run through the middle. After some beautiful movement down the left wing, A. Gragnani scored for Rullus putting them ahead 1 - 0, after 24 minutes. The referee showed Rullus's B. Sobeck the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. J. Bech of LPC had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. T. Koçay came in to finish the match. The visiting team's F. Palamides was able to score the 1 - 1 equaliser with a header 32 minutes into the match, after some good work on the right. Rullus had to make a substitution after 36 minutes. G. Santoro limped off the field and was replaced by W. Durand. LPC players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. LPC took the lead 39 minutes into the game, making the score 1 - 2 after some elegant movement down the middle. X. Argüelles was the scorer. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 2. Possession in this half belonged to LPC, who controlled the ball 56 percent of the time.

With 69 minutes played, LPC put themselves up 1 - 3 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was T. Koçay. After 71 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for X. Argüelles who increased LPC's lead to 1 - 4. W. Durand got a fingertip on X. Argüelles's shot from the left 74 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. LPC had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

Most important Rullus player was R. Lis. However, W. Durand made a disastrous appearance. LPC's best player was F. Palamides. On the other hand, J. Grootswagers's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 4.
