Tigres 0 - 1 supercat (382951339)

Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 17993 at Tigres del Teide Arena today. Mick Nielsen was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Norvilas Raišuotas and Olof Kjellwald. Tigres had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. Lineup: Azkuena - Ilionescu, Solorzano, Alzamora, Violeiro - Moreno Díaz, Topf, Moreirinha, Ruibal, Jalón - Palacio.

supercat decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Segel - Pataki, Peterka, Vaižmužis, Gándara - Herics, Velea, Velardo, Krashi - Prorok, Pedrosa.

G. Azkuena looked great 2 minutes into the match after stopping a shot from the middle of the penalty area from the visitors' M. Pedrosa. A swift counterattack by supercat resulted in a free kick that M. Prorok elegantly twisted into the goal - 0 - 1! G. Topf was ever so close to scoring after an excellent corner was beautifully flicked on by J. Jalón, but the ball bounced off the post to safety. 0 - 1 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to Tigres, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

After 78 minutes, X. Solorzano got through on the right and was very close to equalising for the home side, but didn't get the shot away. Tigres had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.

Most important Tigres player was G. Azkuena. However, M. Palacio made a disastrous appearance. B. Velea performed admirably for supercat. H. Gándara turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 1.
