Roraimense 2 - 2 Goleada (391540254)

The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 39945 had shown up at Macuxizão for the match. Josip Raspudić was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Daniel Alustiza and Balthasar Jansenius. Roraimense started off with a 2-5-3 lineup. The following players took the field: Turcu - Pölnitz, Muenzer - Tarantini, Curvão, Fonseka, Horvat, van Oorschot - Torru, Lee, Aderaldo.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Goleada. Lineup: Lagermar - Szmigiel, Hrabina, Revuelta - Farbák, Der, Bettetini, Hagestijn, Dullak - Albariño, Mortensen.

It was an obvious ambition of Goleada to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. After 4 minutes a well-practised indirect free kick routine by Goleada was easily anticipated by the defenders. The players forward were so well marked, they were left with few viable options. After 15 minutes, Y. Lee came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 1 - 0, giving Roraimense the lead. Goleada levelled the score after 26 minutes to make it 1 - 1, as D. Albariño struck home after a fine midfield combination through the centre, which left him completely unmarked. Halftime score was 1 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Roraimense, with 51 percent of the ball.

After the game, the most discussed event will probably be the penalty given after 66 minutes that gave the visitors the 1 - 2 lead. Despite the controversy, A. Szmigiel struck home the penalty, as cool as anything. Unhappy with the result so far in the game, the Roraimense manager used a brief break in play after 67 minutes to give the players new directives. The referee showed Roraimense's R. Tarantini the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. 79 minutes into the match, Roraimense's A. Fonseka maneuvered his way around the opposition on the left flank, delighting the crowd with his twists and turns. The effort paid off as the ball found the back of the net, evening the score at 2 - 2. Roraimense enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

Roraimense's best player was A. Torru. On the other hand, S. Muenzer's play was disheartening. L. Dullak performed admirably for Goleada. Á. Revuelta on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 2.
