Puky-Lua 4 - 0 copacity (382975573)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 33323 to Alitypulú. Raúl Hormigos was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Emilio Murcia and Enrico Schläppi. Puky-Lua decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. Starters: Barbadilla - Yanke, Rodríguez, Cancino, Vikling - Tjäderbrant, Ilasa, Manda, Solsona, Blaa - Veguri.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for copacity. The following players had been chosen: Herreros de Tejada - Echezarreta, Biniecki, Chapron - Almonte, Bacciardi, Boury, Somogyi, Gabrielsson - Mazzurana, Castillejos.

It was an obvious ambition of Puky-Lua to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. Today, copacity's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. Puky-Lua had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. Puky-Lua broke through on the left 31 minutes into the game, with A. Veguri firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. The visitors almost came back with an equaliser 36 minutes into the match after a good combination down the middle, but when C. Bacciardi tried to finish the attack, he couldn't deliver the shot hard enough to seriously challenge the keeper. copacity's V. Chapron was shown a yellow card after 37 minutes for slicing down an opponent. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Puky-Lua's K. Blaa increasing the lead to 2 - 0. copacity's D. Gabrielsson soared above the crowd, but couldn't knock the corner home 40 minutes into the match. V. Mazzurana of copacity received a yellow card after 42 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Puky-Lua's U. Vikling had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 43 minutes having been played. I. Gavarret was the replacement. As the captain was no longer on the pitch, J. Cancino took over the role of being the Puky-Lua captain. Halftime score was 2 - 0. Puky-Lua had most of the ball, with 54 percent of possession.

The referee showed Puky-Lua's I. Gavarret the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Attacking on the wings was the choice for Puky-Lua, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Puky-Lua to 3 - 0 as A. Ilasa finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. The players of Puky-Lua now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. Puky-Lua increased the lead as A. Veguri struck to make the score 4 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. copacity were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. copacity kept trying to force their way through on the right side and C. Bacciardi got his chance after 69 minutes, but the home side's defence held their position and stopped the attack. Puky-Lua claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

A. Veguri performed admirably for Puky-Lua. J. Cancino was a disappointment, however. Most important copacity player was B. Somogyi. On the other hand, V. Mazzurana's play was disheartening. The match ends 4 - 0.
