Sporting 3 - 0 Rasputinius (383082230)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 27815 to El Coliseum Rural. Azim Songurtekin was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Massimo Barbetta and Fausto Anfuffo. Sporting started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Agrelo - Biglino, Grifoll, Zúñiga Requesens - Montero, Taviel, López Mata, Amayuelas, Moreno - Vilamajor, Coixet.

Rasputinius had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Bufalieri - Marcu, Colluto, Quintaneiro - Frydrysiak, Crobu, Tuovinen, Ufenast, Dumont - Olivos, Gaborit.

With 5 minutes played A. Vilamajor almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. Sporting created a good opportunity to score 28 minutes into the match when U. Amayuelas's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. Rasputinius's O. Gaborit refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 29 minutes. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. Sporting enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 53 percent of possession.

Some great play up the middle by Sporting led to a chance for È. Grifoll to score after 51 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, E. Biglino got himself booked. The manager of Sporting was not happy. A. Vilamajor caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 69 minutes. This gave Sporting the 1 - 0 lead. Sporting managed to extend their lead to 2 - 0 when G. Moreno cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. The coach of Sporting was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 75 minutes, S. Yarza came on for D. López Mata. S. Coixet left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 80 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. I. Quadra-Salcedo was the replacement. The Sporting players could smell victory in the air. U. Amayuelas wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for A. Ortiga after 80 minutes. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. E. Biglino squirmed through their central defence after 84 minutes, increasing the lead to 3 - 0. By now, the players in Sporting felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. Possession in this half belonged to Sporting, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

A. Vilamajor performed admirably for Sporting. On the other hand, A. Montero's play was disheartening. Rasputinius's top performer was clearly E. Tuovinen. F. Ufenast turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 0.
