BOurbon 8 - 0 Raven (383066648)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and La Fuxiaca saw a crowd turnout of 28015. Janusz Maj was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Lionel van der Pijl and Rein Jongmans. BOurbon had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Vonortas - Olčauskas, Aikema, Anner - Hafen, Romano, Kapellmann, Secară, Justino - Olsen, Rosado.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Raven. They fielded: Moreno - Cana Galindo, Läfvenbratt, Grunwald, Quảng Từ - Murgil, Verdeces, Zagreba, Pihllius - Monzón, Della longa.

BOurbon were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. With 3 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as R. Kapellmann flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. BOurbon were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. BOurbon managed to extend their lead to 2 - 0 when M. Hafen cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. BOurbon's O. Olsen increased the lead to 3 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 10 minutes. After 11 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and C. Romano gave the BOurbon supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 4 - 0. The players of BOurbon now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. 4 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to BOurbon, who controlled the ball 76 percent of the time.

With 50 minutes played, BOurbon's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to I. Anner he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 5 - 0. In the lead, BOurbon adjusted their style of play with 71 minutes gone. The BOurbon players could smell victory in the air. C. Secară wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for H. Gutjahr after 72 minutes. Against a lesser team, BOurbon could very well have succeeded with their smart indirect free kick routine after 73 minutes. A trio of passes took the ball all the way past the defenders, but by then the intended recipient was already blocked off and the keeper could make a leisurely save. A. Rosado increased the lead for BOurbon to 6 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! Raven's G. Della longa got himself booked for a foul. With 80 minutes played, U. Murgil of Raven fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in BOurbon's O. Olsen increasing the lead to 7 - 0. 83 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as S. Olčauskas broke through, making the score 8 - 0 for BOurbon. BOurbon enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 76 percent of possession.

The most dominating BOurbon player was without a doubt A. Rosado. S. Olčauskas was a disappointment, however. B. Grunwald performed admirably for Raven. On the other hand, L. Verdeces's play was disheartening. The match ends 8 - 0.
