previous 6/10 next 8/10  Biercelona 0 - 1 Ottis (384910622)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 33000 to CAMPari NOU. Francisco Ruiz was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Vito Radić and Pedro Echevarría. Biercelona had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. The following players had been chosen: Herzberg - Bordei, Bilbao, Berghofer, Jaroć - Snopek, Querreveld, Delcea, Limor, Vorwiesen - Couvez.

Ottis tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. They fielded: Zanzi - Berg, Santuccio, Penn - Herzig, Aronsson, Jeunot, Duval, Baltensberger - Ferreira, Lhermet.

Ottis's É. Lhermet got himself booked for a foul. After 14 minutes, the defensive line of Ottis created a counterattack through the middle that gave D. Duval a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. H. Aronsson of Ottis received a yellow card after 29 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Down the middle came É. Lhermet, making a fantastic play that nearly had Ottis take the lead after 37 minutes, but V. Herzberg preserved the tie. After 40 minutes, following yet another great corner, J. Snopek's flick on at the near post reached M. Berghofer, who was just wide with his snapshot - the ball went out for a goal kick. Halftime score was 0 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Ottis, with 54 percent of the ball.

Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 51 minutes into the match, and R. Jeunot 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. Biercelona's F. Bilbao almost tied things up with 58 minutes played after breaking through on the right, but his shot deflected off the post. É. Lhermet knew he was in trouble after hacking down an opponent. Despite his pleading with the referee, the Ottis player was shown a second yellow card and dismissed from the game. A loud groan was heard from the fans of Biercelona, as M. Vorwiesen left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. A. Razuvaev took his place on the field. R. Querreveld became the new Biercelona captain. 80 minutes in, Ottis's D. Duval received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Ottis's R. Jeunot was shown a yellow card after 84 minutes for slicing down an opponent. The home crowd cheered when, after 88 minutes, L. Ferreira's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. Ottis had most of the ball, with 54 percent of possession.

Most important Biercelona player was M. Berghofer. However, A. Razuvaev made a disastrous appearance. Ottis's top performer was clearly R. Jeunot. H. Baltensberger on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 1.
