Hetor 2 - 2 Atletico (390851175)

37811 spectators had come to Lo del Hetor this cloudy day. Blas Armando Rios was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Adrian Bonţea and Marcellin Souquet. Hetor had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Valerio - Lowe, Peretz, Sánchez - Guido, Sarlanga, Benavente, Cibotari, Vrânceanu - Farahmand, Ðorđević.

Atletico started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. They fielded: Sajjadi - Eder, Shpringer, Tedde, Guzmán - Mocini, Frontczak, Figueiró, Läfvenstål - Monda, Lanhoso.

Hetor tried to focus their attacks down the middle. Atletico clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. After a fine move down the middle L. Cibotari nearly gave the home side a goal after 7 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 8 minutes into the match left Atletico's S. Lanhoso completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. D. Sarlanga made a superb strike after 16 minutes with a shot straight in front of the goal after a long ball through the middle, but one of the visitors' defenders got a foot in at the last second and warded it off for a corner. Hetor players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. Hetor tried to even things up by sending a long ball towards the centrally placed strikers, but the visitors' defence got the best of this rather direct style of play. It was 0 - 1 at the break. Hetor enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 64 percent of possession.

Central attacks were the recipe of the day for Hetor, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. With the clock showing 49 minutes played, a great pass from the defensive line of Atletico resulted in a counterattack that was smoothly brought under control by S. Lanhoso in the centre of the opposition's penalty area, but his finish went high. Due to some great work on the right wing Hetor's B. Ðorđević was able to even the score after 51 minutes to make the score 1 - 1. 1 - 2 was the score with 69 minutes played, after A. Shpringer cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for Atletico. Hetor's D. Sarlanga got himself booked for a foul. Hetor had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. The crowd roared in delight as D. Sarlanga finished off a spectacular series of passes through the middle to even the score for Hetor 75 minutes into the match. 2 - 2. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Hetor, with 67 percent of the ball.

The most dominating Hetor player was without a doubt D. Sarlanga. U. Valerio on the other hand, had a terrible day. Atletico's best player was S. Lanhoso. A. Shpringer was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 2.
