5cinque5 0 - 6 Cannarsa (392598601)

The 18250 spectators at linoparkarena were in for an afternoon of sunshine. Giacomo Frasso was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Sebastian Mägi and Lucio Monzón. 5cinque5 decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Starters: Parrado - Zlobianets, Luci, Cadet - Masseretti, Trier, Drwęcki, Dwornikowski, Cousiño - Paindavoine, Mergotti.

Cannarsa had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Chilmon - Alden, Samuelsen, Dabo - Jakobsen, Cama, Menghini, D'Alberto, Novaković - Caddi, Anzalone.

Cannarsa's I. Cama managed to lose the defenders as he advanced down the right wing and scored, putting the visitors ahead after 4 minutes. 0 - 1. H. Alden was, after 20 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper A. Parrado made the save. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave V. Zlobianets from 5cinque5 a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 22 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! After 24 minutes, Cannarsa's M. Anzalone burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. With 25 minutes played, S. Jakobsen nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. After 27 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed V. Dabo to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 3. By now, the players in Cannarsa felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Cannarsa coach let B. Mahmud replace E. Caddi after 35 minutes. 0 - 3 was the halftime score. Cannarsa enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 80 percent of possession.

It was a hot and sunny day, and several players seemed worn out. Maybe this was why R. Paindavoine found an unusual amount of space for his snappy footwork. A drive down the left side allowed M. D'Alberto to get in close and score another goal for Cannarsa after 48 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 4. The Cannarsa players could smell victory in the air. N. Novaković wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for B. Matias after 55 minutes. After 61 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for B. Mahmud who increased Cannarsa's lead to 0 - 5. It wasn't a good day at all for M. Anzalone. His powerful style of play just didn't fit the bill on this warm day. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, 5cinque5's C. Masseretti was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 70 minutes. G. Sorgiovanni was given a chance to change things around. 5cinque5's M. Drwęcki left the field after 72 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was A. Berretta. The 5cinque5 captaincy was handed to G. Sorgiovanni. The home crowd cheered when, after 74 minutes, B. Mahmud's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. B. Mahmud received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 76 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 6. The Cannarsa fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. The coach of Cannarsa was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 88 minutes, Y. Zulkarnaen came on for M. Anzalone. Cannarsa claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 72 percent.

5cinque5's best player was R. Paindavoine. G. Dwornikowski on the other hand, had a terrible day. P. Samuelsen performed admirably for Cannarsa. On the other hand, B. Matias's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 6.
