Piñeira 0 - 9 Valiente (383234572)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Piñeira Arena saw a crowd turnout of 4669. Edgardo Stringa was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Valentijn Bieleveld and Gaetano Ricci. The derby had been the talk of Galicia all week and fans of both teams could be seen throughout the stadium. Piñeira tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. The following players took the field: Meléndez Valdés - Ardila, Dot, Navarro Ategui, Puig Egido - Ena, Echaniz, Mullins, Vicioso - Ferrán Martínez, Camas.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Valiente. They fielded: Santos - Baig, Mola, Kang, Irauqui - Goitia, Morbelli, Marques, Eresma - Castellote, Koruba.

Valiente displayed their ability to play creatively. Piñeira's R. Ferrán Martínez got himself booked for a foul. Valiente were forced into a substitution as M. Santos couldn't continue due to some rough treatment, forcing P. Lanzas Codina to come in off the bench. Valiente's J. Castellote managed to lose the defenders as he advanced down the right wing and scored, putting the visitors ahead after 20 minutes. 0 - 1. The visitors' A. Eresma took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 29 minutes into the match. 0 - 2 for Valiente. Valiente increased the lead to 0 - 3 as J. Mola scored from the penalty spot, putting the ball in near the top left corner. Confident in their lead, Valiente's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. A. Koruba received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 36 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 4. The Valiente fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, E. Echaniz got himself booked. The manager of Piñeira was not happy. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 4. Possession in this half belonged to Valiente, who controlled the ball 63 percent of the time.

With 60 minutes played, Valiente put themselves up 0 - 5 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was B. Marques. The home crowd was not impressed when X. Baig came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 62 minutes. Valiente were now up 0 - 6. Valiente's T. Kang was shown a yellow card after 64 minutes for slicing down an opponent. After 65 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for J. Castellote who increased Valiente's lead to 0 - 7. J. Goitia's early cross saw the defenders caught out of position and the alert J. Castellote was able to pounce and roll the ball past the hapless goalkeeper to score for Valiente. 0 - 8. At that, J. Castellote was noted down for a hat trick! After 78 minutes, Valiente's B. Marques burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 9. Valiente claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 68 percent.

Piñeira's top performer was clearly R. Camas. A. Meléndez Valdés was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Valiente player was without a doubt A. Eresma. However, P. Lanzas Codina made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 9.
