Chikirivitas 3 - 1 zamzam88 (383189941)

Clouds darkened the skies at Chikirivitas Arena as 5700 spectators turned up for the match. Arnaud Crochemore was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Mario Quesada and Simon Gabriel Eilers. Chikirivitas had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. They fielded: Vercher - Durbà, Larrea, Torres, Fernández Hinestrosa - Maza, Matías, Manterola, Cebericha, Calvet - Laso.

zamzam88 decided to use a 4-3-3 set up. The following players had been chosen: Cerca - Girgós, de la Venta, Llompart, Buelna - Solano, Rodríguez, Aragón - Simeonov, Nestares, Basalo.

Pressing was the tactic of the day for zamzam88. The home side put themselves ahead 1 - 0 after 3 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from A. Matías, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. zamzam88 had to make a substitution after 9 minutes. D. Rodríguez limped off the field and was replaced by M. Morales. zamzam88's ability to press all over the field frequently paid dividends. D. de la Venta behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 33 minutes as he gave the ball away to R. Laso. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. A. Nestares of zamzam88 was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. After 36 minutes Chikirivitas's R. Laso contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. Chikirivitas increased the lead as A. Matías struck to make the score 2 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 0. Chikirivitas enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 67 percent of possession.

Chikirivitas put themselves up 3 - 0 when D. Cebericha broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. After this, you could see that the players of Chikirivitas were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. A. Girgós hit the corner kick straight to the keeper, but it was mishandled, giving zamzam88's M. Morales an easy chance to knock it in for 3 - 1. Chikirivitas's A. Maza swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave J. Fernández Hinestrosa from Chikirivitas a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 79 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Possession in this half belonged to Chikirivitas, who controlled the ball 66 percent of the time.

The most dominating Chikirivitas player was without a doubt R. Laso. M. Vercher was a disappointment, however. Most important zamzam88 player was I. Simeonov. M. Morales turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 1.
