BORREDÀ 4 - 0 Silesian (383040032)

13150 spectators arrived at BORREDÀ ARENA, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Evgenios Pountos was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Javier Ibáñez and Bjørn Mogen. All of Barcelona was shut down for the day, as fans of both clubs came to the derby. BORREDÀ had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Puente - Borovas, Colmelo, Alberca - Duvillard, Matrice, Günay, Mpartzilas, Meinhardt - Menéndez, Hodgson.

Silesian tactics involved an interesting 4-3-3 combination. The following players took the field: Grossmann - Grabiński, Bertrand, Kuleta, Warren - Nicolle, Samulski, Arango - Ledezma, Karreman, Rauchbauer.

Silesian seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. Some great play up the middle by BORREDÀ led to a chance for J. Menéndez to score after 6 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. After some beautiful movement down the left wing, E. Hodgson scored for BORREDÀ putting them ahead 1 - 0, after 10 minutes. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave I. Alberca from BORREDÀ a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 30 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! 34 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as J. Menéndez broke through, making the score 2 - 0 for BORREDÀ. Cheers filled the stadium as M. Borovas broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 3 - 0 to BORREDÀ. Halftime score was 3 - 0. BORREDÀ claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 72 percent.

Content with how the game was proceeding, the BORREDÀ coach let I. Lafont replace J. Puente after 46 minutes. G. Matrice increased BORREDÀ's lead to 4 - 0 with a penalty spot cannonball. At this point, it was obvious that the players of BORREDÀ lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. M. Borovas left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 64 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. S. Michelatti was the replacement. C. Günay really should have scored when he was chosen by fate to confront a wide open goal following a great play by J. Colmelo after a corner. After 73 minutes, Silesian switched G. Ledezma with M. Bergsjö, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. The BORREDÀ players could smell victory in the air. G. Matrice wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for E. Bidaurrazaga after 75 minutes. C. Günay became the new BORREDÀ captain. Coming from the right, C. Günay almost managed to score another goal for BORREDÀ, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. The home side's J. Menéndez came close to extending the lead 83 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but S. Grossmann managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. J. Warren nearly reduced the lead 84 minutes into the game, but a splendid one-handed save by I. Lafont prevented the attempt coming in from the right flank from hitting the back of the net. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by BORREDÀ, with 67 percent of the ball.

The most dominating BORREDÀ player was without a doubt C. Günay. On the other hand, S. Michelatti's play was disheartening. Most important Silesian player was I. Rauchbauer. H. Grabiński on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 4 - 0.
