Real 6 - 0 Ivanovo (387251058)

A brilliantly sunny day had enticed a crowd of 18130 to GD/GooD Day. Alik Ryabinin was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Yi Li-Song and Cláudio Sobral. A 4-3-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Real. Lineup: Toft - Jønsson, Lovrec, Markić, Oruz - Elmas, Ufa, Lazović - Cananea, Carpels, Bruchian.

Ivanovo started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. Starters: Paloveer - Davydenkov, Spivak, Lyashuk, Muzalev - Dreyman, Sharmanov, Zolotar, Suzdalov - Malyushkin, Lyskov.

Real created a good opportunity to score 17 minutes into the match when J. Ufa's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. After 20 minutes of play, T. Oruz gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave Y. Suzdalov from Ivanovo a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 21 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! After 26 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and L. Cananea gave the Real supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 2 - 0. Confident in their lead, Real's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. The home side's A. Markić came close to extending the lead 31 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but M. Paloveer managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. Halftime score was 2 - 0. Real had most of the ball, with 79 percent of possession.

Real's M. Lovrec had an excellent opportunity after 49 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! L. Muzalev's technique was perfect on this sunny day and led to some breathtaking tricks that bamboozled the defence. Real's S. Lazović 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 70 minutes. Real increased the lead as G. Carpels struck to make the score 4 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. Ivanovo's I. Lyskov was shown a yellow card after 76 minutes for slicing down an opponent. A loud groan was heard from the fans of Real, as J. Ufa left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. G. Kütt took his place on the field. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Real's G. Carpels increasing the lead to 5 - 0. Real were given a gift! The ref dubiously awarded them a penalty 83 minutes into the match, which was neatly put away by G. Carpels. 6 - 0 for the home side. By then G. Carpels had scored three goals - a hat trick! Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Real, with 82 percent of the ball.

The most dominating Real player was without a doubt G. Carpels. T. Oruz turned in a dismal performance, however. Ivanovo's top performer was clearly M. Davydenkov. V. Spivak was a disappointment, however. The match ends 6 - 0.
