33472 spectators had come to
La Cueva this cloudy day.
Miikka Toivola was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Maximiliano González and
Mauro Amils Pibernat.
-Alberto- decided to use a 3-4-3 set up.
The following players had been chosen: Zampedri - Leppä, Tisiot, Lobban - Skrzyszewski, Riippi, Sequeira, Navarro - Gustavino, Rivas, Sandí.
Winzi tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination.
Lineup: Gréaux - Myrland, Claro, 润敏 (Runmin) , van der Hilst - Romero, Bell, Franciolini, Zuijderwijk - Ortíz, Elizondo.
Halftime score was 0 - 0.
Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Winzi, with 57 percent of the ball.
The visitors could have taken the lead from a free kick after 47 minutes, if it wasn't for the jaw-dropping save by
D. Zampedri.
The home crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief when
N. Ortíz was unable to put the ball in the net after his show of skill down the left 50 minutes into the match. He was seen beating the pitch in frustration at missing such a good chance to give his team the lead!
60 minutes into the game, Winzi wanted to bring some new energy to their game.
R. Claro gave
H. Peralta a quick hug as he left the field.
The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave
M. Riippi from -Alberto- a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 69 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient!
70 minutes into the game,
T. Myrland had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came
F. Infante.
The guests almost went up by a goal after 75 minutes when
A. Elizondo came through and shot from the right. The ball bounced harmlessly off the post, though.
Winzi claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 60 percent.
Most important -Alberto- player was
E. Gustavino.
A. Lobban turned in a dismal performance, however.
The most dominating Winzi player was without a doubt
R. Bell.
On the other hand,
F. Gréaux's play was disheartening.
The match ends 0 - 0.
