Tabora 0 - 5 tanzanelli (388467044)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 7000 to Tabora Arena. Domingo Constantinescu was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Edwin Pretro and Peter Liljengård. Tabora had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. Lineup: Masolwa - Lekamoi, Diallo, Sakaya, Salum - Shabiby, Komba, Sumari, Msekela - Kasella, Zitto.

tanzanelli tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. They fielded: Velloso - Šůstek, Van De Plas - Schwertzell, Tungu, Clerici, Kasella, Mtemwu - Adamoudis, Gerbrands, Gama.

tanzanelli took the lead 5 minutes into the game, making the score 0 - 1 after some elegant movement down the middle. G. Kasella was the scorer. Had it not been for one of the home defenders, G. Kasella would have put tanzanelli up another goal 22 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. Some fine movement on the left led to a tanzanelli goal after 26 minutes, making it 0 - 2. P. Clerici was noted down as the scorer. 0 - 2 was the score after the first half. tanzanelli enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 69 percent of possession.

48 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 3 as T. Adamoudis finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. R. Gerbrands of tanzanelli took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 63 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 4. By now, the players in tanzanelli felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. G. Kasella 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. Masolwa but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. After 73 minutes, tanzanelli's C. Mtemwu burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 5. tanzanelli had most of the ball, with 72 percent of possession.

Most important Tabora player was C. Kasella. J. Masolwa was a disappointment, however. tanzanelli's top performer was clearly P. Clerici. However, S. Schwertzell made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 5.
