FCBM 0 - 7 P Dutra (391591579)

12000 spectators arrived at La Troissene, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Fredrik Rothstedt was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Herbert Groß and Jesús Bercianos. FCBM started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Treffner - Castro Lima, Pupo, Vilhena, Tavinho - Vilian, Fieber, Marquès, Guarnieri - Soriano, Figueiredo.

P Dutra tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. They fielded: Tullstrand - Szegő, Morteau, Olcese - Chevalier, Lo Bascio, Vicente Solano, Larsson, Canales - Davin, Jeannin.

P Dutra seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. After 2 minutes, P Dutra's S. Chevalier made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. FCBM's V. Castro Lima left the field after 4 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was A. Bernacchi. The visitors' J. Canales took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 16 minutes into the match. 0 - 2 for P Dutra. A drive down the left side allowed P. Lo Bascio to get in close and score another goal for P Dutra after 23 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 3. M. Tavinho of FCBM was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. The home crowd was not impressed when V. Larsson came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 26 minutes. P Dutra were now up 0 - 4. After this, you could see that the players of P Dutra were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. T. Jeannin increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 5. 0 - 5 was the score after the first half. P Dutra had most of the ball, with 81 percent of possession.

Q. Morteau dispatched a majestic long shot 69 minutes into the match, but missed the goal by a few metres. With 81 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed S. Szegő of P Dutra to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 6. I. Vicente Solano received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 84 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 7. The P Dutra fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. P Dutra were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. P Dutra claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 88 percent.

The most dominating FCBM player was without a doubt F. Guarnieri. F. Treffner was a disappointment, however. P Dutra's best player was E. Davin. On the other hand, J. Tullstrand's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 7.
