Binifarda 0 - 0 Cedron (382946943)

A brilliantly sunny day had enticed a crowd of 21775 to Binifarda Arena. Lai Joo-Heng was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Viktor Treboux and David Pint. Binifarda tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. They fielded: Bru - Martinsson, Schoel, Kominiak - Shevchuk, Pietrek, Biegstraaten, Gripenin, Kortelainen - Bach, Paulsen.

Cedron decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. Starters: Ardelean - Menchell, Comes, Moñino, Lidón Jiménez - Petre, Dodier, Rubio Marín, Izquierdo, Lechowski - González Sepúlveda.

The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave J. Lechowski from Cedron a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 9 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Due to a severely mistimed tackle, D. Shevchuk of Binifarda spent some time on the grass writhing in agony before he could get up and continue the game. Binifarda had a good opportunity to take the lead as L. Kortelainen came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of D. Ardelean. J. Lechowski of Cedron got sent off for kicking the ball after the whistle, a completely uncalled for move, earning him his second yellow card of the game. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. Binifarda claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 66 percent.

Cedron almost scored after a swift counterattack 56 minutes into the game, but J. Dodier put the shot from the left flank just outside the goal. Binifarda's L. Kortelainen got himself booked for a foul. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Binifarda, with 67 percent of the ball.

B. Pietrek performed admirably for Binifarda. On the other hand, A. Martinsson's play was disheartening. Most important Cedron player was Á. González Sepúlveda. R. Izquierdo was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 0.
