KAITAS 0 - 4 MGallagher (392709104)

A scorching day at F.C. KAITAS ARENA, where 14000 spectators were in place for today's match. José Maria Dinis was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Samuel Rondón and Jan Harm van de Mortel. KAITAS tactics involved an interesting 4-5-1 combination. The following players had been chosen: Wuttig - Fidalgo, Mossa, Roqué, van der Well - Piela, Banchelli, Genovè, Zwiernik, Assman - Redzkin.

A 2-5-3 alignment was the formation of choice for MGallagher. The following players took the field: Sesle - Cumming, Lombardo - Slimani, Pérez, Kruse, Pokorný, Piñeiro - Rodríguez, Garrido Martínez, Oviedo.

KAITAS immediately set off using their skill at pressing their opponents. As the 1 minute mark approached, the MGallagher coach decided it was time for a substitution. L. Piñeiro reluctantly made way for H. Keiser on the pitch. 1 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a MGallagher substitution. M. Alvear came on for C. Lombardo. 1 minutes into the game, MGallagher wanted to bring some new energy to their game. B. Kruse gave I. Weifenbach a quick hug as he left the field. The home keeper expected a move to the right, but G. Garrido Martínez surprised him with a free kick aimed the other way 4 minutes into the match. 0 - 1 for MGallagher. The home crowd cheered when, after 34 minutes, F. Rodríguez's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. MGallagher increased the lead to 0 - 2 as G. Garrido Martínez scored from the penalty spot, putting the ball in near the top left corner. The players of MGallagher now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. MGallagher's A. Oviedo made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 38 minutes into the match. After rounding the keeper, he only had to place the ball in the unguarded goal when a defender slid in and cleared the ball off the line. 0 - 2 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by MGallagher, with 73 percent of the ball.

Always quick on his feet, MGallagher's A. Slimani sped down the field after 55 minutes, but his pass to G. Garrido Martínez was just a bit too far ahead for him to get a good shot off. With 60 minutes played, MGallagher's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to I. Pérez he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 0 - 3. The bench was restless, and with 75 minutes passed KAITAS's coach gave M. Díaz the opportunity the player had been hoping for. D. Piela reluctantly left the field. With 75 minutes played, the KAITAS coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. H. Dönmezer came on, J. Wuttig had to leave the fray. Several players seemed a little dazed by the warm weather, and were repeatedly tricked by the clever and agile F. Rodríguez. The pressing tactics used by KAITAS were successful as the ball remained close to the half way line at all times. MGallagher's G. Garrido Martínez was shown a yellow card after 83 minutes for slicing down an opponent. H. Zwiernik was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so KAITAS's P. Diaz Ailan had to come off the bench. After 85 minutes, P. Diaz Ailan had a good opportunity to reduce the scoreline for KAITAS with a chance created through the middle, but wasn't cool enough. The ball went miles over the bar. The cannonball from 35 metres by C. Pokorný of MGallagher was an impressive sight, but didn't make it into the net. F. Rodríguez received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 87 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 4. The MGallagher fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. Possession in this half belonged to MGallagher, who controlled the ball 74 percent of the time.

KAITAS's best player was C. Genovè. However, H. Dönmezer made a disastrous appearance. Most important MGallagher player was A. Oviedo. I. Weifenbach was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 4.
