Serpenti 0 - 1 YesWK (392573530)

Dark skies made the crowd of 1460 at Kira Memorial Stadium of Quetzalcoatl a little nervous, but the rain held off. Ersan Atıf was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Briek Hammens and Franciszek Jonkisz. Serpenti decided to use a 5-3-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Fracassetti - Eszlári, Monterubbianesi, Ligori, Rocca, Morando - Merrill, Eschilo, Meier - Mongelli, Karatay.

YesWK had chosen a strategic 4-3-3 formation. Starters: Ehningen - Besozzi, Urruela, Barrera, Muratori - De Loore, Chainho, Merino Heredia - Gomis, Mataró, Medina.

Serpenti clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. After 38 minutes, C. Eschilo made a complete fool of himself when he presented the ball to the feet of J. Merino Heredia who smashed it into the open goal for YesWK. 0 - 1. A. Chainho was ever so close to scoring after an excellent corner was beautifully flicked on by R. Urruela, but the ball bounced off the post to safety. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. Serpenti enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 67 percent of possession.

Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Serpenti's P. Merrill was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 46 minutes. P. Tallarida was given a chance to change things around. With 46 minutes played, the Serpenti coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. J. Ederveen came on, F. Meier had to leave the fray. YesWK mounted an inspired counterattack down the right wing after 79 minutes, but J. Barrera was unable to convert from short range. After 83 minutes Serpenti's P. Tallarida had to be carried off on a stretcher in agony. G. Padula came in to replace him. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Serpenti, with 55 percent of the ball.

Serpenti's top performer was clearly G. Morando. However, R. Eszlári made a disastrous appearance. YesWK's best player was D. Mataró. On the other hand, J. Barrera's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 1.
