Waste 2 - 0 Porjus (388147134)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 38552 to The Wasteland. Itamar Ésper was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Mauro Marín and Thomas Sjöner. Waste had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. Lineup: Jorrín - Hagelbrant, Granberg, Grensten - Dabrovolskas, Robledillo, Castro, Rodot - Aguiar, Sahlén, Sahlberg.

Porjus started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Sulami - Holmbom, Bronišas, Svensson, Kjellskog - Cillanco, Potenza, Hansson, Valser - Bianchi, Mirchev.

Pressing was the tactic of the day for Porjus. Waste had a chance to take the lead after N. Aguiar's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 13 minutes. As P. Castro had, completely unprovoked, swept the legs out from under an opponent in front of a linesman, the referee gave the Waste player a red card without batting an eyelid. The pressing tactics used by Porjus were successful as the ball remained close to the half way line at all times. It was 0 - 0 at the break. Waste had most of the ball, with 64 percent of possession.

With 51 minutes played, A. Sahlberg of Waste fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. 56 minutes into the game, P. Robledillo had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came Q. Chiariello. J. Grensten gave Waste the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0 Waste's N. Hagelbrant swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. Waste managed to extend their lead to 2 - 0 when Q. Chiariello cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. The players of Waste now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. Waste's A. Dabrovolskas saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 73 minutes. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Waste, with 64 percent of the ball.

Waste's best player was A. Sahlberg. Q. Chiariello on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Porjus player was without a doubt H. Kjellskog. D. Hansson turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 2 - 0.
