54418 spectators arrived at
Majuaro Tananay, where weather conditions were pretty good for football.
Simo 'Animal' Jokinen was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Hermann Lell and
Gian Maria Rocco.
Pirámide started off with a 3-4-3 lineup.
Lineup: Čonka - Hutten, Kampherbeek, Horttanainen - Katila, Debiasi, Romanov, Basse - Coto, Grant, Brenes.
Winzi decided to use a 2-4-2 set up.
The following players took the field: Mäntysaari - Claro, Infante - Romero, Bell, Franciolini, Ortíz - Wenc, Duder.
After a fine move down the middle
D. Grant nearly gave the home side a goal after 7 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide.
13 minutes into the game, Winzi had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to
poor.
Pirámide took the lead 24 minutes into the game by 1 - 0, as
D. Coto elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar.
27 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as
C. Brenes broke through, making the score 2 - 0 for Pirámide.
C. Brenes increased the lead for Pirámide to 3 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it!
The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 0.
Pirámide claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 60 percent.
Despite his frustration resulting in the smashing of a few teacups, the coach of Winzi was able to get his message across, and raised Winzi's organisation to
passable.
Pirámide managed to extend their lead to 4 - 0 when
A. Basse cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper.
Pirámide increased the lead as
L. Debiasi struck to make the score 5 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper.
The players of Pirámide now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle.
68 minutes into the game, Winzi seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to
inadequate.
C. Brenes wanted to play on, but the Pirámide coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 78 minutes into the game by
O. Artavia.
The coach of Pirámide was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 79 minutes,
B. Baláž came on for
L. Debiasi.
Possession in this half belonged to Pirámide, who controlled the ball 55 percent of the time.
D. Coto performed admirably for Pirámide.
On the other hand,
D. Hutten's play was disheartening.
Winzi's best player was
R. Bell.
K. Duder was a disappointment, however.
The match ends 5 - 0.
