previous 9/10 next 1/10  Team 1 - 0 Furrus (383019355)

30020 spectators had found their way to NingúHiSurtVictoriós Tay Estadi, despite the heavy rain. Bendik Steen was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jaakko Pelto-Timperi and Kars Weenink. Team tactics involved an interesting 3-4-3 combination. Starters: van Boshuizen - Hernando de Soro, Delonge, Ehrmann - Paslavičius, Kang, Pirrello, Martínez Conde - Cuper, Fondevilla, Wolfensberger.

Furrus decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. Lineup: Meli - Art, Circes, Verhoek, Kleparek - Funoll, Candia, Caño, Bueno, Pozo - Celanova.

The strategy for Furrus was to use their ability to press. The boggy pitch disrupted the game, especially for technical players like S. Candia. Team had a good opportunity to take the lead as R. Delonge came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of S. Meli. The pressing tactics used by Furrus were successful as the ball remained close to the half way line at all times. Team's M. van Boshuizen had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 34 minutes having been played. A. Cortecedo was the replacement. With 37 minutes gone, Furrus had a free kick in a decent position. Despite this being a great chance for a shot, they tried a cheeky move intended to bypass the defence. However, J. Funoll did not manage to connect with it cleanly and the ball went out. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Team, with 58 percent of the ball.

The coach of Team wanted to try to change things around after 55 minutes, and gave new tactical instructions. 57 minutes into the game, Team wanted to bring some new energy to their game. E. Paslavičius gave J. García a quick hug as he left the field. A. Fondevilla would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. G. Hofwijks entered the game for Team as the match clock showed 62 minutes. The muddy pitch made the game a gritty affair, which seemed to suit D. Kang just fine. J. García sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from D. Pirrello after 68 minutes of play, making the score 1 - 0. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Furrus's J. Verhoek was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 68 minutes. V. Bezděk was given a chance to change things around. As the game started to slip away for Furrus, the manager decided to change the tactical approach. The Furrus coach was desperate to reverse his team's fortunes in the game, and ordered his team to change strategy. After a short break after 69 minutes, Team seemed to change their tactical approach a bit. Furrus's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. Furrus had a chance to level the score as J. Art suddenly found himself free in the middle of the box with only the keeper to beat, but he misjudged the finish, and only managed to hit the bar. Possession in this half belonged to Team, who controlled the ball 59 percent of the time.

D. Kang performed admirably for Team. A. Cortecedo on the other hand, had a terrible day. Furrus's best player was F. Circes. On the other hand, S. Meli's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 0.
