ciuperkr 0 - 4 Abandon (392637039)

It had rained all day, but 19261 hardy fans still made it out to Poliasiliga3. Giebe Lavrijsen was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Sven Erwin Trompet and Leif Flamwald. ciuperkr decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. Lineup: Stenhaug - Günther, Jurgielewicz, Dautbegović, Paz Jimenez - Reqica, Văscan, O'Higgins, Salada, Silvăşan - Urbaneja.

Abandon tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. They fielded: Martinelli - Böhm, Bica - Meireles, Mic, Trigo, Mano, Panzeri - Bayot, Gaínza, Ene.

ciuperkr were relying on their ability to counter-attack. E. Paz Jimenez, who often relies on his speed, had a rotten day on the drenched grass. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 32 minutes allowed J. Bayot to score for Abandon. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. An accurate cross from L. Meireles of Abandon was met with a wonderful glancing header from E. Gaínza, hitting the inside base of the post before nestling into the back of the net for 0 - 2. C. Silvăşan challenged the visitors' central defence eagerly, producing a good chance 38 minutes into the game as he went for a through ball. But, as so many times before, the guests' defensive efforts got the best of it. ciuperkr's B. Jurgielewicz got himself booked for a foul. The boggy pitch disrupted the game, especially for technical players like L. Meireles. After 42 minutes a well-practised indirect free kick routine by Abandon was easily anticipated by the defenders. The players forward were so well marked, they were left with few viable options. Halftime score was 0 - 2. Possession in this half belonged to Abandon, who controlled the ball 56 percent of the time.

The home crowd cheered when, after 48 minutes, J. Bayot's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. ciuperkr's defence sent a ball soaring up the middle on a beautiful counterattack with 49 minutes gone, but M. Văscan's finish was met by the reaching hands of the keeper. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave G. Ene from Abandon a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 51 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Content with how the game was proceeding, the Abandon coach let M. Rubio replace E. Panzeri after 60 minutes. A penalty was awarded after 64 minutes, and J. Böhm made the most of his chance to put Abandon up by another goal. 0 - 3 for the visitors. F. Mano left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 67 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. C. Formosinho was the replacement. An amazing free kick flew past the home keeper 71 minutes into the match, putting Abandon ahead 0 - 4. J. Böhm was the scorer. The players of Abandon now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. With 73 minutes played, L. Meireles 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. Abandon enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 57 percent of possession.

The most dominating ciuperkr player was without a doubt M. Văscan. C. Silvăşan was a disappointment, however. Most important Abandon player was G. Ene. M. Rubio on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 4.
