Hetor 1 - 3 Redondosss (390851190)

53821 spectators had come to Lo del Hetor this cloudy day. Ralph Bladin was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Blagojce Trajanov and Róbert Szoboszlai. Hetor tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Valerio - Sánchez, Peretz, Zamboni - Guido, Benavente, Lowe, Cibotari, Vrânceanu - Farahmand, Ðorđević.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Redondosss. Starters: Söderberg - Rosa, Menachem, Roeting - Uzma, Gunson, Sharin, Eguía, Rattín - Hanhikoski, Ladevèze.

Hetor seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. Always a threat, S. Farahmand tore past his marker and placed the ball right at the feet of the waiting B. Ðorđević who should have easily scored for Hetor, but the ball went wide. 27 minutes of the match played, and a comedy of errors by the home side gave the visitors a chance at the lead, but S. Gunson, after finding himself dashing down on goal from the left with only the keeper to beat, sliced his shot horribly wide. After 28 minutes a well-practised indirect free kick routine by Hetor was easily anticipated by the defenders. The players forward were so well marked, they were left with few viable options. Hetor had to make a substitution after 34 minutes. S. Farahmand limped off the field and was replaced by V. Benvenuto. G. Guido was handed the Hetor captain's armband. Redondosss had several good opportunities to take the lead, especially 39 minutes in when F. Uzma came up alone against U. Valerio who managed a block. Redondosss's T. Hanhikoski could have put the guests one up after 40 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but U. Valerio was as fast as a snake, grabbing the ball from under his nose. With 42 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as B. Ðorđević flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. It was 1 - 0 at the break. Redondosss enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

Hetor's B. Ðorđević refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 49 minutes. The visitors were awarded a penalty by the referee 50 minutes into the match, much to the anger of the home crowd. A. Rosa took advantage of the situation and scored to make it 1 - 1. Redondosss caught their opponents out with a clever counterattack down the right wing 53 minutes into the match. T. Rattín was able to finish off the move - 1 - 2. M. Ladevèze increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 1 - 3. After this, you could see that the players of Redondosss were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Redondosss coach let B. Waldron replace T. Hanhikoski after 75 minutes. L. Cibotari neatly controlled the ball after a short corner, and knocked it on to B. Ðorđević who had the whole net open before him, but only managed to hit the post. After a short break after 76 minutes, Redondosss seemed to change their tactical approach a bit. Encouraged by their lead, after 76 minutes the Redondosss coach asked B. Waldron to change positions with A. Rosa. Redondosss claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 53 percent.

Most important Hetor player was L. Cibotari. U. Valerio on the other hand, had a terrible day. Redondosss's best player was G. Eguía. B. Waldron was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 3.
