vacas 0 - 8 Racing (392077213)

12000 spectators arrived at coliseo, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Helmut Überbacher was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Inge Skjelvik and José Braga. vacas started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Mazzeo - Lange, Patrick, Riddick, Yee - Benedict, Martínez, Chappell, Blevins - Neff, Barajas.

Racing had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. The following players took the field: Villar - Kramer, Rothmaler, Slováček - Berg, Garreau, Brychta, Celar - Paulin, Čivo, Petrotto.

Racing displayed their ability to play creatively. J. Kramer's lack of experience almost gave vacas a goal after 5 minutes, but the shot went right into the keeper's arms. A badly positioned defensive formation on a free kick after 27 minutes led to Racing's G. Paulin giving the visitors the lead 0 - 1. After 30 minutes, Racing were awarded a free kick. Rather than shooting straight at goal, the taker went for an indirect variant which seemed to take his team mates a bit by surprise. E. Čivo did attempt a finish, but from an awkward position, sending the ball into the away fans. Racing's G. Garreau made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 31 minutes into the match. After rounding the keeper, he only had to place the ball in the unguarded goal when a defender slid in and cleared the ball off the line. E. Berg increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 2. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 37 minutes, Racing did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, R. Slováček was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 0 - 3. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Racing lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. A. Celar's early cross saw the defenders caught out of position and the alert G. Petrotto was able to pounce and roll the ball past the hapless goalkeeper to score for Racing. 0 - 4. After 43 minutes, Racing's J. Kramer burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 5. Halftime score was 0 - 5. Racing had most of the ball, with 76 percent of possession.

64 minutes into the game, Racing were awarded a penalty and G. Paulin was able to increase the visitors' lead to 0 - 6 rolling the ball in by the right post. 67 minutes into the match, C. Rothmaler came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. Racing increased the lead to 0 - 7 as G. Paulin scored from the penalty spot, putting the ball in near the top left corner. By then G. Paulin had scored three goals - a hat trick! With 72 minutes played, Racing put themselves up 0 - 8 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was G. Paulin. Racing enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 83 percent of possession.

vacas's top performer was clearly A. Barajas. S. Mazzeo turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important Racing player was E. Čivo. J. Kramer on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 8.
