Esportiu 4 - 4 rozambres (382964410)

23564 spectators arrived at Casal Esportiu Arena, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Lasse ''Eppas'' Wästerlius was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Florent Janssen and Jari Muurikka. Esportiu started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Harendarz - Gadanho, Faillon, Rosenbaum - Barea, Feysot, Chabane, Neupert, Hulswit - Samuel, Muc.

rozambres tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Garrigós - Rossdeutscher, Salatino, de Carvalho - Zubzuck, Simonč, Wojteczek, Bachler, Botaya - Petcu, Sinkko.

Esportiu saw most attack opportunities on the wings. Esportiu's C. Muc left the field after 6 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was G. Fernández de Córdoba. Esportiu took the lead after 15 minutes as a result of I. Samuel's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0. After 19 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and I. Samuel gave the Esportiu supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 2 - 0. rozambres managed to reduce the score to 2 - 1 as A. Zubzuck finished off a well-played combination from the left, easily carving through the defence. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave S. Rosenbaum from Esportiu a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 39 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Unfortunately for rozambres, À. Garrigós was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. L. Santos replaced him. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Esportiu, with 51 percent of the ball.

The visiting team's A. Sinkko was able to score the 2 - 2 equaliser with a header 66 minutes into the match, after some good work on the right. A. Sinkko would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. K. Bulliard entered the game for rozambres as the match clock showed 76 minutes. Esportiu took the lead 76 minutes in, as J. Barea broke through on the left and put the 3 - 2 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. rozambres needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 78 minutes T. Bachler made way for C. Vanelli Coralli. rozambres tied it all up, 82 minutes in, after a spectacular goal by S. Simonč, who miraculously broke through the home side's central defence, making it 3 - 3. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 85 minutes allowed K. Bulliard to score for rozambres. The scoreboard now read 3 - 4. Esportiu's G. Fernández de Córdoba put his head to a well placed ball, lifted in from the left, and scored to make the score 4 - 4 with 86 minutes showing on the scoreboard clock. Possession in this half belonged to rozambres, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

Esportiu's best player was K. Chabane. S. Rosenbaum turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating rozambres player was without a doubt E. Salatino. On the other hand, L. Santos's play was disheartening. The match ends 4 - 4.
