Mariano 0 - 6 Manacor (383141890)

4414 punters turned up at Portería de Desengaño 21., and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Jan-Frederik Fügen was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Christian Botor and Håkan Bergland. Mariano tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players took the field: Galdós - Kolari, Campuzano, Gorriola - Verkeev, Okoth, Karácsony, Rodríguez, Arantzaeta - Balada, Fachs.

Manacor started off with a 2-5-3 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Bögebjerg - Dina, Torsson - Jutier, Belizón, Popov, Voskuil, Pålsson - Guzmán Puig, Dreussi, Lepič.

Mariano decided to play creatively. Manacor's W. Jutier gave the visitors a 0 - 1 lead after 7 minutes with a superb strike from the right. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave J. Balada from Mariano a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 9 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! A. Dina was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so Manacor's M. Castelló had to come off the bench. A corner kick created great disorder in the penalty area with a goal nearly scored by W. Jutier. At last, Manacor's J. Lepič was able to backheel the ball in. 0 - 2. Just a few inches to the right, and the visitors could have had a goal 16 minutes into the match. T. Torsson surely wishes he could do that free kick over again. Manacor's J. Lepič was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 28 minutes. The home crowd was not impressed when F. Belizón came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 29 minutes. Manacor were now up 0 - 3. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 3. Possession in this half belonged to Manacor, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

The referee showed Mariano's E. Gorriola the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. A penalty was awarded after 57 minutes, and T. Torsson made the most of his chance to put Manacor up by another goal. 0 - 4 for the visitors. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Manacor lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. After 68 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed H. Dreussi to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 5. The coach of Manacor was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 70 minutes, A. Bolshakov came on for W. Jutier. An amazing free kick flew past the home keeper 77 minutes into the match, putting Manacor ahead 0 - 6. T. Torsson was the scorer. Manacor claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 59 percent.

J. Balada performed admirably for Mariano. On the other hand, A. Kolari's play was disheartening. Manacor's best player was I. Guzmán Puig. B. Bögebjerg on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 6.
