Británico 1 - 1 intimos (392111796)

The 12000 fans in attendance at Young Oxford Park were roasting in the hot sun. Ilkka Merilahti was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Béla Joó and Magnus Nedregård. Everyone was excited about the upcoming Lima derby and the crowd was divided evenly. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Británico. They fielded: Joronen - Ladefoged, Kienast, Borda - 瑞帆 (Ruifan), Hümpel, Tricoire, Shihrur, Andersson - Wilpahuamán, Globis.

intimos started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. Starters: Ricardi - Vilchez, Negro, Finizza - Castro, Pascual, Russo, Frisancho - Curiñaupa, Šmída, Endo.

Today, Británico's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. intimos were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. The visiting D. Endo was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 3 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. After 34 minutes intimos's D. Endo contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. With the crowd on their feet chanting wildly, some great moves down the right hand side after 36 minutes gave Británico a wonderful opportunity to level the score, and N. Shihrur stepped up to the challenge. 1 - 1 After 38 minutes, intimos's G. Castro fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! M. Globis's technique was perfect on this sunny day and led to some breathtaking tricks that bamboozled the defence. Británico could have put themselves ahead after 41 minutes but H. Wilpahuamán missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. It was obvious that Británico had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. Slack defending gave Británico a chance to take the lead with 43 minutes played, but M. Globis's cross from the left flank was fumbled in front of the goal and easily dealt with by the opposition. Halftime score was 1 - 1. Británico claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 65 percent.

Attacking on the wings was the choice for Británico, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. With 49 minutes played H. Wilpahuamán almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. After a fine move down the middle M. Globis nearly gave the home side a goal after 70 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. The referee showed Británico's F. Borda the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. There was concern in the stands when, at the 72 minute mark, intimos's N. Curiñaupa hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. Many thought N. Hümpel ought to have been awarded a penalty 73 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around H. Ricardi after a determined run through the middle. Británico enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 62 percent of possession.

The most dominating Británico player was without a doubt D. Tricoire. B. Andersson was a disappointment, however. Most important intimos player was N. Curiñaupa. On the other hand, S. Pascual's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 1.
