Maiorais 1 - 1 Guardiões (386253531)

Clouds darkened the skies at Estádio Pinto da Costa as 31900 spectators turned up for the match. Mats Christiansson was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jan-Erik Hagelerberg and Matthias Schäffle. Maiorais decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: Schwarz - Murovec, Zarza, Zamfirache - Kirschblüten, Masetti, Rijnsewijn, Simeth, Kisicki - Liesveld, Tommasini.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Guardiões. Starters: Iffiú - Ytreland, Novoa, Botella - Vatashki, Silva Baptista, Foglia, Caixinha, Tantera - Jory, Silva Alexandre.

Maiorais tried to focus their attacks down the middle. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 8 minutes into the match left Guardiões's H. Silva Alexandre completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. Maiorais's M. Kirschblüten made a successful breakthrough on the left after 16 minutes and should have levelled the score, but instead he clipped it over the bar. Maiorais players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. After 17 minutes of play, M. Kirschblüten evened things up for Maiorais with an impressive goal coming up the middle. 1 - 1. At 23 minutes played, L. Liesveld came in from the right with the intention of giving Maiorais the lead, but his rocket of a shot rattled the crossbar. Maiorais's M. Murovec was shown a yellow card after 27 minutes for slicing down an opponent. 1 - 1 was the halftime score. Maiorais claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 55 percent.

M. Murovec really should have scored when he was chosen by fate to confront a wide open goal following a great play by A. Kisicki after a corner. Many thought L. Liesveld ought to have been awarded a penalty 58 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around B. Iffiú after a determined run through the middle. L. Jory had a good opportunity to give Guardiões the lead as he charged down the right and struck the ball towards the top corner, but the home team's goalkeeper made the save. Maiorais had a chance to take the lead after M. Simeth's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 80 minutes. Possession in this half belonged to Maiorais, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

The most dominating Maiorais player was without a doubt E. Tommasini. On the other hand, Á. Schwarz's play was disheartening. Guardiões's best player was H. Silva Alexandre. G. Tantera on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 1.
