Comunidad 0 - 2 Winzi (391458284)

Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 59162 at Estadio de la Milla today. Edmundo de San Vicente was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Curdin Eigenheer and Dougie Harris. Comunidad tactics involved an interesting 3-4-3 combination. Starters: Danielsson - Güvenç, Kučaba, Sanson - Selbert, Maglódi, Imbo, Ferrer Mohino - Sukhov, Behm, Figueroa.

Winzi had chosen a strategic 2-5-3 formation. The following players had been chosen: Gréaux - Claro, 润敏 (Runmin) - van der Hilst, Romero, Bell, Franciolini, Ortíz - Wenc, Elizondo, Peralta.

Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 2 minutes into the match, and A. Wenc wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 0 - 1 for the visitors. With the scoreboard showing that 4 minutes had been played, Winzi nearly put themselves up another goal after A. Wenc came through on the left. Fortunately for the home crowd, the keeper made the save. 5 minutes into the match, K. van der Hilst came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. With 7 minutes played, Winzi put themselves up 0 - 2 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was M. Romero. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Comunidad's R. Ferrer Mohino was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 7 minutes. D. Pérez was given a chance to change things around. 18 minutes into the game, Winzi worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. 0 - 2 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Winzi, with 60 percent of the ball.

Had it not been for one of the home defenders, 蔡. 润敏 (Runmin) would have put Winzi up another goal 62 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave C. Selbert from Comunidad a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 68 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! R. Bell of Winzi had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. G. Duarte came in to finish the match. The coach of Winzi was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 70 minutes, T. Skřivánek came on for H. Peralta. In the lead, Winzi adjusted their style of play with 70 minutes gone. After a short break after 70 minutes, Winzi seemed to change their tactical approach a bit. With 73 minutes played, A. Elizondo nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. Winzi's A. Elizondo made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 76 minutes into the match. After rounding the keeper, he only had to place the ball in the unguarded goal when a defender slid in and cleared the ball off the line. 79 minutes into the match Winzi's N. Ortíz viciously shoved another player from behind while going for a loose ball and was sent off the pitch with a red card. A loud groan was heard from the fans of Comunidad, as C. Selbert left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. S. Eggerberg took his place on the field. D. Imbo was handed the Comunidad captain's armband. The home crowd cheered when, after 82 minutes, R. Franciolini's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. Winzi enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of possession.

Most important Comunidad player was F. Behm. On the other hand, S. Eggerberg's play was disheartening. Winzi's top performer was clearly M. Romero. T. Skřivánek was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 2.
