Forcas 3 - 1 TocameRoke (382929362)

The 17316 spectators at Veiga de Forcas Arena were in for an afternoon of sunshine. Edgardo Palombarini was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Bertil Gröönstedt and Ilie Şuşca. Forcas started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Garriga - Santacatalina, Gil García, Aretio - Irujo, Illuesca Cuesta, Paadín, Eliese Cuesta - Celis, Olivares, Venev.

TocameRoke tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Astorga - Ibarra, Cantó, Garriga - Shoham, Arretxe, Castrelo, Cocido, Holtzman - Grinbooch, Staudteler.

After 9 minutes, TocameRoke's T. Grinbooch made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. Forcas tried to even things up by sending a long ball towards the centrally placed strikers, but the visitors' defence got the best of this rather direct style of play. The crowd roared in delight as R. Aretio finished off a spectacular series of passes through the middle to even the score for Forcas 23 minutes into the match. 1 - 1. 27 minutes into the match, TocameRoke nearly took the lead, as T. Grinbooch broke through on the right. D. Garriga made the save, however. Slack defending gave Forcas a chance to take the lead with 35 minutes played, but S. Celis's cross from the left flank was fumbled in front of the goal and easily dealt with by the opposition. Halftime score was 1 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to Forcas, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

47 minutes of the match played, and a comedy of errors by the home side gave the visitors a chance at the lead, but P. Cantó, after finding himself dashing down on goal from the left with only the keeper to beat, sliced his shot horribly wide. Forcas took the lead 70 minutes into the game by 2 - 1, as S. Celis elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Forcas scored another to make it 3 - 1 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for P. Santacatalina after 71 minutes. After this, you could see that the players of Forcas were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Forcas, with 53 percent of the ball.

Forcas's top performer was clearly D. Olivares. On the other hand, R. Aretio's play was disheartening. TocameRoke's best player was F. Garriga. B. Holtzman was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 1.
