BIXIXIRI 6 - 0 RAÇA (391598446)

12000 spectators had found their way to BIXICHUNG ARENA, despite the heavy rain. Arvid Karlsson was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Ernst-Jan Douwes and Tino Taracido. All of São Paulo was shut down for the day, as fans of both clubs came to the derby. BIXIXIRI had chosen a strategic 4-3-3 formation. They fielded: Olofsson - Tío Sánchez, Mueßer, Puyol, Siriwittaya - Bąbik, Barnetta, Kawończyk - Corsten, Woldeck, Victorero.

RAÇA started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. Starters: Rosales - Rondon, Nehring, Kraemer, Paiva - Arroz, Gurgel, Santeiro, McLaughlan - Gomes, Agostini.

The home side put themselves ahead 1 - 0 after 10 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from S. Kawończyk, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. 14 minutes in, BIXIXIRI's D. Corsten received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of BIXIXIRI to 2 - 0 as A. Barnetta finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. The referee showed RAÇA's C. McLaughlan the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. BIXIXIRI's L. Woldeck had an excellent opportunity after 33 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! Halftime score was 2 - 0. BIXIXIRI claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

Things were going to get worse for the visitors. D. Corsten squirmed through their central defence after 60 minutes, increasing the lead to 3 - 0. M. Rondon slipped and slithered in the wet grass. His usual rapid runs were nowhere to be seen today. With 68 minutes played, BIXIXIRI's L. Woldeck almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. The game was close to savage at times, and RAÇA's C. McLaughlan received a second yellow card after 81 minutes; his ticket out of the game. BIXIXIRI were forced into a substitution as J. Bąbik couldn't continue due to some rough treatment, forcing U. Preiner to come in off the bench. 84 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as N. Siriwittaya broke through, making the score 4 - 0 for BIXIXIRI. At this point, it was obvious that the players of BIXIXIRI lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. With 86 minutes played, BIXIXIRI's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to L. Woldeck he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 5 - 0. After 87 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and L. Woldeck gave the BIXIXIRI supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 6 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to BIXIXIRI, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

The most dominating BIXIXIRI player was without a doubt L. Woldeck. U. Preiner was a disappointment, however. RAÇA's top performer was clearly A. Agostini. L. Paiva on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 6 - 0.
