Club 7 - 0 Lycans (389957868)

A brilliantly sunny day had enticed a crowd of 38311 to Club Axis Arena. Rafael Oñate was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Herbert Schiemer and Svend Holm Nielsen. Club tactics involved an interesting 5-3-2 combination. Lineup: Larios - Casillas, Correa, Marqués, Mata, Goodwin - Castillo, Ruíz, Augusto - Urdangarín, Herrero.

Lycans decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. They fielded: Balam - Ostos, Arantzamendi, Inoriza, Sáez - Echeverría, Arredondo, Moreno, Cobo - de la Venta, Barrera.

Club took the lead 14 minutes into the match after a magnificent free kick by O. Ruíz that made the score 1 - 0. After 33 minutes, Lycans's R. Arantzamendi fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! Club solidified their lead at the 36 minute mark, as A. Castillo dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 2 - 0. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Club's J. Mata increasing the lead to 3 - 0. Halftime score was 3 - 0. Club enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 76 percent of possession.

The Club players could smell victory in the air. E. Larios wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for A. Batalla after 49 minutes. With 52 minutes played, Club put themselves up 4 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to O. Ruíz, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. After this, you could see that the players of Club were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. The intense heat forced L. Barrera into making some errors because he couldn't seem to keep up with the others. M. Marqués left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 71 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. D. Valle Dorado was the replacement. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. R. Correa squirmed through their central defence after 71 minutes, increasing the lead to 5 - 0. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Club to 6 - 0 as J. Casillas finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. The sunny day didn't make things easy for E. Moreno who didn't seem his usual powerful self on the pitch. After 77 minutes, N. Augusto put Club ahead 7 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. Possession in this half belonged to Club, who controlled the ball 78 percent of the time.

The most dominating Club player was without a doubt J. Urdangarín. However, A. Batalla made a disastrous appearance. Lycans's best player was C. Sáez. E. Balam was a disappointment, however. The match ends 7 - 0.
