Couto 0 - 4 F.C.B (382943082)

A brilliantly sunny day had enticed a crowd of 30344 to O Couto Da Alon. Semir Zupanec was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Ludovico Arechavaleta and Roy Waters. Couto decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. Lineup: Szewczuwianiec - Graas, Ouzounis, Bachs, Farnung - Solé, Laukkonen, Guedes, Vintilă, Moyano - Silva Mitjans.

F.C.B had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Priego - Álvarez, Barro, Martínez - Iturbide, Alegre, Lapeña Gómez, Villars, Yáñez - Ribas, Duarte.

F.C.B saw most attack opportunities on the wings. After 18 minutes, F.C.B's A. Duarte made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. Couto's S. Laukkonen startled G. Silva Mitjans with an unexpected pass. Unfortunately, the receiver was too stunned by the play to convert the perfect setup into a goal. With the scoreboard showing that 27 minutes had been played, F.C.B nearly put themselves up another goal after C. Lapeña Gómez came through on the left. Fortunately for the home crowd, the keeper made the save. 33 minutes in, Couto's G. Silva Mitjans received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. With 35 minutes played, F.C.B put themselves up 0 - 2 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was A. Duarte. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 2. Possession in this half belonged to F.C.B, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

After 46 minutes, Couto switched S. Laukkonen with R. Gołata, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. 57 minutes into the game, B. Yáñez had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came R. Énekes. O. Álvarez found it hard to catch his breath today in the stifling heat. The crowd groaned when G. Silva Mitjans, having maneuvered his way down the right, fired the ball just wide and missed a great opportunity to reduce the deficit for Couto. F.C.B increased their lead after 76 minutes when A. Duarte broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 3, much to the home crowd's dismay. That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for A. Duarte. A. Duarte increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 4. At this point, it was obvious that the players of F.C.B lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. F.C.B had most of the ball, with 53 percent of possession.

Couto's best player was G. Silva Mitjans. I. Szewczuwianiec on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important F.C.B player was P. Villars. O. Álvarez was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 4.
