TLM 7 - 0 SanBartolomé (383264199)

It had rained all day, but 6661 hardy fans still made it out to inter de beiramar Arena. Çağlar Çavdar was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Bengt Runesson and Adolfo Carrapatoso. TLM tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players took the field: Moral - Bonilla, Callicó, Niiranen - Cômodo, Byriel, Idoyeta, Sturniolo, Kacowski - Mohaddes, Sedhall.

SanBartolomé had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. Lineup: Parada - Murgó, Ortiz el Mozo, Moisescu, Gatell - Riba, Martín Domínguez, Valenzuela Acuña, Abadou - Díaz, Escuer.

The home side put themselves ahead 1 - 0 after 7 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from P. Idoyeta, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. The crowd gasped as V. Sturniolo of TLM was flattened by an opponent after 8 minutes and had to be carried off. P. Arnalich came in off the bench. The rain made it hard for players like M. Ortiz el Mozo to show their technical control of the ball on this soggy day. With 25 minutes played, TLM put themselves up 2 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to L. Callicó, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. TLM's G. Cômodo increased the lead to 3 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 27 minutes. The players of TLM now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. TLM increased the lead as A. Mohaddes struck to make the score 4 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. TLM's G. Sedhall got himself booked for a foul. TLM's B. Byriel struck his penalty well enough to beat the goalkeeper and extend the home team's lead to 5 - 0 after 40 minutes. SanBartolomé's C. Gatell was shown a yellow card after 42 minutes for slicing down an opponent. 5 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by TLM, with 77 percent of the ball.

TLM solidified their lead at the 59 minute mark, as G. Kacowski dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 6 - 0. G. Kacowski increased the lead for TLM to 7 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave H. Niiranen from TLM a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 72 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! After 76 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by G. Sedhall might have resulted in another goal for TLM. However, J. Parada made a spectacular save. Possession in this half belonged to TLM, who controlled the ball 78 percent of the time.

The most dominating TLM player was without a doubt L. Callicó. On the other hand, A. Moral's play was disheartening. SanBartolomé's top performer was clearly R. Díaz. However, M. Ortiz el Mozo made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 7 - 0.
