previous 2/4 next 4/4  Frank 1 - 2 Cruzquis (383168960)

11538 spectators had come to Terminator Arena this cloudy day. Judicaël Ritter was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Karlo Luša and Niklas Wahlholt. Frank had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players took the field: Iftimie - Arthur, Monroy, Alabau - Ortiz Leon, Ness, Carnicer, Apostolov, Finestre - Guarch, Semlal.

Cruzquis tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Andreacci - Soler Turmo, Jacopin, Marcato - Dalfó, Huettner, Llordera, Hem, Piłatowicz - Frascella, Gkiozis.

Pressing was the tactic of the day for Frank. Cruzquis saw most attack opportunities on the wings. Cruzquis were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. The guests almost went up by a goal after 8 minutes when E. Soler Turmo came through and shot from the right. The ball bounced harmlessly off the post, though. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 16 minutes into the match, and N. Dalfó wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 0 - 1 for the visitors. 0 - 1 was the score after the first half. Frank claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.

With 46 minutes played, the Frank coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. F. Moselli came on, B. Alabau had to leave the fray. Frank's D. Apostolov almost tied things up with 49 minutes played after breaking through on the right, but his shot deflected off the post. Y. Gkiozis of Cruzquis was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. The bench was restless, and with 60 minutes passed Frank's coach gave S. Pérez de Ayala the opportunity the player had been hoping for. R. Ortiz Leon reluctantly left the field. With the scoreboard showing that 61 minutes had been played, Cruzquis nearly put themselves up another goal after Y. Gkiozis came through on the left. Fortunately for the home crowd, the keeper made the save. After 65 minutes, J. Ness got through on the right and was very close to equalising for the home side, but didn't get the shot away. With 66 minutes having been played, Frank scored to make it 1 - 1. A dribble down the left wing, followed by a shot which took a wicked bounce off a defender resulted in the keeper having no chance. Everyone thought it'd been an own goal, but F. Moselli was marked down as the scorer. With 67 minutes played, the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending. Y. Gkiozis put the ball away for 1 - 2. Frank's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. After 76 minutes, Frank switched A. Semlal with R. Endemaño, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. This part of the game was a standoff between the teams in terms of possession.

The most dominating Frank player was without a doubt S. Pérez de Ayala. However, F. Arthur made a disastrous appearance. Cruzquis's top performer was clearly M. Frascella. W. Piłatowicz on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 2.
