Vascolandia 1 - 2 Divinos (392497435)

Dark skies made the crowd of 14180 at Specil on a little nervous, but the rain held off. Tijn van der Meer was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Miroslav Egić and Henrique Espinheira. Vascolandia started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Mennitto - Rocas, Plăcintă, Neagu, Peirolo - Thành Thông, Wilczycki, Gonçalves, Leibold - Beltrão, Pereyra.

Divinos had chosen a strategic 4-3-3 formation. Lineup: Boduç - Knežević, 英天 (Yingtian) , Bolton, de Carvalho - Ribeiro Antunes, Remekselä, Remeloso - Almeida Moreira, Beltrame, Unas.

Divinos saw most attack opportunities on the wings. Í. Beltrame had a good try after 6 minutes, coming in on a fine move from the left, but the ball went wide. With 8 minutes gone, Divinos had a free kick in a decent position. Despite this being a great chance for a shot, they tried a cheeky move intended to bypass the defence. However, L. Knežević did not manage to connect with it cleanly and the ball went out. The guests took the lead 10 minutes into the match, after a right-side attack resulted in D. Ribeiro Antunes scoring to make it 0 - 1. The referee showed Divinos's H. Unas the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. A loud groan was heard from the fans of Vascolandia, as M. Peirolo left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. U. Dayan took his place on the field. U. Dayan of Vascolandia received a yellow card after 18 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Vascolandia's V. Neagu got himself booked for a foul. Halftime score was 0 - 1. Divinos had most of the ball, with 57 percent of possession.

O. Remekselä increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 2. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Divinos lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. Vascolandia's Đ. Thành Thông was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 58 minutes. After 71 minutes, the defensive line of Vascolandia created a counterattack through the middle that gave C. Wilczycki a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, D. Pereyra got himself booked. The manager of Vascolandia was not happy. The situation leading to Vascolandia's penalty 73 minutes into the match will be much debated after the game ends, but the competent Z. Beltrão didn't hesitate to make the score 1 - 2. Divinos claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 55 percent.

Most important Vascolandia player was L. Leibold. V. Plăcintă was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Divinos player was without a doubt O. Remekselä. On the other hand, H. Unas's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 2.
