previous 2/4 next 4/4  Font 0 - 1 OnceBenzemas (382983696)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 22587 to Estadi de La Platón. Sverre Krogsdal was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Máté Csuhay and Oskar Fijak. Font decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Kavouroglou - Sans, Drozdek, Hurtado - Boronat, Piemontese, Kierdziołek, Esteban, Costa - Haggenmüller, Kadem.

A 5-3-2 alignment was the formation of choice for OnceBenzemas. The following players took the field: Curaqueo - Ludvigsen, Pakieła, Aranzadi, Mogliati, Llambrich - Casademunt, Loomans, 祥玉 (Xiangyu) - Robertsson, Margueritte.

The wings were the focus of most of Font's attacks today. For their match strategy, OnceBenzemas had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. After 14 minutes, D. Margueritte sent the corner kick right to A. Robertsson who headed it sharply past the keeper. 0 - 1! After 16 minutes, P. Drozdek got through on the right and was very close to equalising for the home side, but didn't get the shot away. OnceBenzemas's defence sent a ball soaring up the middle on a beautiful counterattack with 17 minutes gone, but D. Margueritte's finish was met by the reaching hands of the keeper. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to Font, who controlled the ball 64 percent of the time.

The OnceBenzemas players could smell victory in the air. D. Margueritte wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for M. bin Abdul Hamid after 57 minutes. With 57 minutes played, after a good run down the left, F. Esteban went down looking for a penalty after a challenge from the visitors' right fullback, but the referee waved play on, and later warned him for diving. Coming in from the right, OnceBenzemas had a good opportunity to convert on a counterattack after 58 minutes, but F. Casademunt's attempt to finish was easily stopped. Content with how the game was proceeding, the OnceBenzemas coach let P. Halkjær replace A. Robertsson after 60 minutes. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave A. Boronat from Font a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 74 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! With 77 minutes gone, D. Llambrich suddenly found himself completely free on the right wing when a counterattack by OnceBenzemas caught their opponents by surprise. Only a great save by the opposing keeper prevented him from scoring. 88 minutes into the game, OnceBenzemas had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to inadequate. Font claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 60 percent.

Font's best player was M. Costa. S. Hurtado was a disappointment, however. The most dominating OnceBenzemas player was without a doubt 何. 祥玉 (Xiangyu). P. Halkjær on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 1.
