TitiTim 4 - 0 Clitouristes (385858400)

30239 punters turned up at Liberty stadium, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Abner Echaburu was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Alejandro Zumalacarregui and Thomas Almland. TitiTim started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. Lineup: Pöytäsaari - Roman, Beauger, Patel - Neveu, Garnier, Erez, Vermeulen - Robert, Magyari, Grolleau.

Clitouristes tactics involved an interesting 5-3-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Stark - Lagnel, Huikkola, Tabuteau, Štekl, Sève - Diedhiou, Guyot, Renard - Antonioletti, Peñalver.

After 3 minutes, A. Patel came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 1 - 0, giving TitiTim the lead. TitiTim's L. Grolleau increased the lead to 2 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 9 minutes. G. Beauger could have increased the lead after 17 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave S. Antonioletti from Clitouristes a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 18 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! It was 2 - 0 at the break. TitiTim claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 64 percent.

Z. Magyari left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 46 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. O. Parmentier was the replacement. Content with how the game was proceeding, the TitiTim coach let T. Cabaret replace A. Erez after 46 minutes. TitiTim's G. Beauger's long shot really ought to have found the net 54 minutes into the match, but it fell just wide of the target. With 65 minutes played, the Clitouristes coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. S. Molinier came on, S. Antonioletti had to leave the fray. The head of E. Vermeulen connected with a corner kick after 65 minutes, and the ball ended up with V. Roman of TitiTim who blasted the ball into the net, making the score 3 - 0. After 65 minutes TitiTim's T. Cabaret contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. TitiTim increased the lead as V. Roman struck to make the score 4 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. At this point, it was obvious that the players of TitiTim lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. TitiTim's O. Parmentier saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 67 minutes. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Clitouristes's B. Diedhiou was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 74 minutes. C. Pasturel was given a chance to change things around. TitiTim had most of the ball, with 60 percent of possession.

L. Grolleau performed admirably for TitiTim. J. Neveu turned in a dismal performance, however. Clitouristes's top performer was clearly E. Peñalver. On the other hand, R. Lagnel's play was disheartening. The match ends 4 - 0.
