Nortedream 1 - 4 Fofoe (386373062)

9534 spectators had found their way to Nortedream f.c, despite the heavy rain. Flaviu Dinicã was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Inozens Guttempler and Torbjörn Hansson. People from all over Porto - Grande Porto had joined up for the derby. Nortedream had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. Starters: Melamed - Agelet, Pagani, Berizzo - Biber, Mihalache, Lucendo, Schinwald - Mota Fernandes, Sabella, Mendeiros.

Fofoe started off with a 4-5-1 lineup. They fielded: Mladonyiczki - Cerdeño, Patten, Urrea Palafox, de Liever - Serrano Molera, Torres Ferreira, Guerra, Drakić, Teixeira - Buizza.

It was an obvious ambition of Nortedream to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. Fofoe saw most attack opportunities on the wings. The home crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief when T. de Liever was unable to put the ball in the net after his show of skill down the left 5 minutes into the match. He was seen beating the pitch in frustration at missing such a good chance to give his team the lead! It was a bad day for the usually speedy P. Cerdeño. The mud seemed to slow him down. Nortedream's J. Berizzo was shown a yellow card after 25 minutes for slicing down an opponent. The Fofoe free kick 27 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of M. Serrano Molera, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 0 - 1! S. Sabella's lightning pace was too much for J. Urrea Palafox who could only look on as the Nortedream player blasted one home. 1 - 1. 37 minutes into the game, Č. Drakić had a great chance to put his team ahead, but his kick from the left went wide. The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of Fofoe's P. Cerdeño after 40 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 1 - 2 lead. Halftime score was 1 - 2. Fofoe had most of the ball, with 69 percent of possession.

Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Nortedream's S. Sabella was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 46 minutes. A. Hssisen was given a chance to change things around. The home crowd cheered when, after 56 minutes, M. Serrano Molera's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. With 58 minutes played, the Nortedream coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. A. Bounahjoul came on, G. Pagani had to leave the fray. A drive down the left side allowed I. Torres Ferreira to get in close and score another goal for Fofoe after 67 minutes, taking the score to 1 - 3. The game was characterised by rough play and many physical challenges on the wet field, but S. Teixeira showed great heart and had a good game. The Fofoe players could smell victory in the air. I. Torres Ferreira wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for L. Loureiro Ferreira after 75 minutes. G. Buizza left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 75 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. B. Dobber was the replacement. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Fofoe coach let S. Valente replace M. Serrano Molera after 75 minutes. Nortedream needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 80 minutes W. Biber made way for A. Solís Pareja. With 82 minutes played, Fofoe put themselves up 1 - 4 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was S. Valente. Confident in their lead, Fofoe's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. After the ball was lifted in from the left, S. Valente was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 85 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. Fofoe claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 70 percent.

Nortedream's best player was A. Mendeiros. However, A. Solís Pareja made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Fofoe player was without a doubt B. Dobber. R. Mladonyiczki was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 4.
