XINXAN 6 - 0 me262 (382936682)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 38191 to NOHARA ESTADIUM. Morris Clos was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Gigi Petre and Paweł Węgielewski. XINXAN had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: 云五 (Yunwu) - Domezain, Górszczyk, Sánchez Gil - Tammearu, Siliņš, Langelund, Sanderson, Nucera - Rood, Accogli.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for me262. Starters: Gorostidi - López, Duany, Prada, de la Viña - Medina Espino, Castellet, Gratacós, Lopez García - Grima, Isasi.

Today, XINXAN's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. me262 clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. XINXAN took the lead 14 minutes in, as J. Sanderson broke through on the left and put the 1 - 0 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. With 29 minutes played, XINXAN put themselves up 2 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to J. Sanderson, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. XINXAN's M. Rood struck his penalty well enough to beat the goalkeeper and extend the home team's lead to 3 - 0 after 31 minutes. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in XINXAN's M. Rood increasing the lead to 4 - 0. The players of XINXAN now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. The teams went for the halftime break at 4 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by XINXAN, with 57 percent of the ball.

It was obvious that XINXAN had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. V. Accogli increased the lead for XINXAN to 5 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! 69 minutes in, me262's G. López received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. XINXAN were forced into a substitution as V. Tammearu couldn't continue due to some rough treatment, forcing L. Mulač to come in off the bench. XINXAN put themselves up 6 - 0 when L. Mulač broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. M. Lopez García of me262 was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. me262's G. López had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 84 minutes having been played. F. Lira was the replacement. The crowd roared its approval when 钱. 云五 (Yunwu) somehow managed to block a shot which seemed to be a certain goal by me262's T. Gratacós 87 minutes into the game. XINXAN had most of the ball, with 57 percent of possession.

XINXAN's top performer was clearly M. Rood. However, L. Mulač made a disastrous appearance. me262's best player was A. Medina Espino. F. Lira turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 6 - 0.
