Campeao 0 - 10 Ouro (391543995)

It was an exceptionally sunny day for the crowd of 12000 that came out to Arena do Campeão. Robert Tappy was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Gabriel Roma and Rolf Ramér. Campeao had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. Lineup: Nakano - Sardinha, Dias Morais, Zangrandi, Bellato - Césan, de Sá Rocha, Sant'Anna, São Thiago - Melo Guedes, Lavandisca.

A 2-5-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Ouro. The following players took the field: Frank - Dória, Paganoni - Popov, Belobokov, Krasa, Nissim, Sardinha - Margarida, Luiz, Chuikevich.

The visiting G. Margarida was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 13 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. With 21 minutes played, Ouro put themselves up 0 - 2 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was K. Chuikevich. The sun seemed to put B. Zangrandi in a great mood, and he showed off his technical skills all match long. Campeao's N. São Thiago was shown a yellow card after 24 minutes for slicing down an opponent. A. Krasa of Ouro had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. D. Sastre came in to finish the match. Z. Popov increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 3. By now, the players in Ouro felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. C. Sardinha of Campeao received a yellow card after 35 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Some fine movement on the left led to a Ouro goal after 37 minutes, making it 0 - 4. Z. Popov was noted down as the scorer. 42 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 5 as C. Sardinha finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. 0 - 5 was the score after the first half. Ouro enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 88 percent of possession.

The visitors' G. Margarida took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 49 minutes into the match. 0 - 6 for Ouro. The fierce heat made it important to save breath, and after a few swift runs C. Sant'Anna found it hard to get back into position. With 58 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed Z. Popov of Ouro to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 7. That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for Z. Popov. 80 minutes in, Campeao's B. Zangrandi received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. A drive down the left side allowed V. Belobokov to get in close and score another goal for Ouro after 83 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 8. Z. Popov of Ouro took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 85 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 9. As usual, C. Sardinha tried to use his strength and hard work for the benefit of the team, but the heat hit him hard and he couldn't keep pace at all. After 87 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for K. Chuikevich who increased Ouro's lead to 0 - 10. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Ouro, with 91 percent of the ball.

Most important Campeao player was N. São Thiago. C. Nakano turned in a dismal performance, however. Ouro's top performer was clearly D. Sastre. However, B. Dória made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 10.
