Sharachki 5 - 5 Inter (387282396)

Dark skies made the crowd of 45724 at Camp Nou a little nervous, but the rain held off. Antonio De la Mota was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Aquilino Dávila and Alfredo Spinozzi. Sharachki decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. They fielded: Réa - Ganci, Konieczek, Walezy - Perret, Staszak, Krzewski, Tannoia - Resende, Albrighi, Trębiński.

Inter started off with a 2-5-3 lineup. Lineup: Lista - Kużdżał, Pawlonka - Stocker, Tohmo, Lemire, Dasiewicz, Nazareno - Refalo, Griesenbeck, Jemec.

Inter clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 8 minutes allowed L. Griesenbeck to score for Inter. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. With 18 minutes played, L. Griesenbeck of Inter fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. Some fine passing in the middle of the pitch, carving open the away defence, should have led to a goal for Sharachki, but G. Albrighi's shot went over the bar. The referee showed Inter's R. Refalo the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. A drive down the left side allowed J. Kużdżał to get in close and score another goal for Inter after 31 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 2. By now, the players in Inter felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. F. Perret made a nice dash down the wing after 37 minutes, but was unable to get the cross into the box. A goal kick was awarded. Sharachki refused to be intimidated and, breaking through the middle, M. Krzewski managed to slip the ball home for 1 - 2. With 43 minutes played, Inter put themselves up 1 - 3 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was K. Pawlonka. It was obvious that team Inter had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings. N. Jemec came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over J. Réa but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. 1 - 3 was the halftime score. Inter had most of the ball, with 51 percent of possession.

Still trailing on the score board, Sharachki adjusted their tactics after 46 minutes. F. Perret had a quick chat at the side line, then switched positions with Y. Tannoia. Sharachki's fans were urging them forward as they tried to get back into the game, and their vocal support was rewarded 66 minutes into the match as S. Staszak ran onto a beautiful ball played through the visitors' defence and slotted it past the keeper to reduce the deficit. 2 - 3. With 72 minutes played, the Sharachki coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. D. Brygała came on, M. Krzewski had to leave the fray. Sharachki needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 72 minutes L. Ganci made way for A. Popielarski. After 75 minutes, A. Popielarski made a dash down the middle past the away team's defenders to score the goal that made it 3 - 3. Unsportsmanlike behaviour by L. Griesenbeck rendered him his second booking of the match, and Inter had to finish the game with a reduced squad. D. Brygała acted foolishly after 80 minutes, giving the ball up to Inter's N. Jemec who had no trouble finding the back of the net. 3 - 4. The crowd roared in delight as J. Trębiński finished off a spectacular series of passes through the middle to even the score for Sharachki 85 minutes into the match. 4 - 4. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for Inter, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. Inter took the lead 88 minutes into the game, making the score 4 - 5 after some elegant movement down the middle. P. Nazareno was the scorer. After 88 minutes of play, G. Albrighi evened things up for Sharachki with an impressive goal coming up the middle. 5 - 5. Possession in this half belonged to Sharachki, who controlled the ball 53 percent of the time.

Most important Sharachki player was J. Trębiński. J. Réa was a disappointment, however. N. Jemec performed admirably for Inter. H. Stocker on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 5 - 5.
