FC O City 6 - 1 Quemabalones (392770123)

The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 1959 had shown up at Old Schöngrundpark for the match. Mika Laiho was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Bendik Berre and Kerewin Kleibeuker. FC O City decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Langer - De La Torre Ugarte, Pedreira, Karaosmanović - Fulton, Mugenthaler, Auvray, Gunnarsson, Degorre - Del Borrello, Nisztuk.

Quemabalones tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. Lineup: Nietubyć - Murillo, Torregrosa, Pallejà, Galarraga - Falces, Winkler, Pascual Pastor, Tandy - Rubinke, Iruarritz.

Making his way up the middle 9 minutes into the match, D. Del Borrello almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert G. Nietubyć blocked it to keep the score level. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to J. Auvray, but the FC O City player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! After 16 minutes S. Falces made a speedy advance and dropped the ball to A. Iruarritz who shuffled it past the keeper. The score was now 1 - 1. E. De La Torre Ugarte caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 17 minutes. This gave FC O City the 2 - 1 lead. FC O City increased the lead as G. Pedreira struck to make the score 3 - 1 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. After this, you could see that the players of FC O City were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. FC O City's E. De La Torre Ugarte had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 40 minutes having been played. L. Ben-Chaim was the replacement. 3 - 1 was the halftime score. FC O City enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 68 percent of possession.

With 55 minutes played, FC O City put themselves up 4 - 1 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to J. Auvray, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, S. Falces got himself booked. The manager of Quemabalones was not happy. With 58 minutes gone, FC O City 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. Ben-Chaim did not manage to connect with it cleanly and the ball went out. FC O City solidified their lead at the 59 minute mark, as J. Gunnarsson dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 5 - 1. D. Del Borrello wanted to play on, but the FC O City coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 60 minutes into the game by F. Deblasio. Some things can only be learned through experience, and J. Auvray should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting Quemabalones a goal with 67 minutes of the match played. R. Pascual Pastor of Quemabalones was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. G. Pedreira increased the lead for FC O City to 6 - 1, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! F. Deblasio of FC O City received a yellow card after 73 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. FC O City had most of the ball, with 70 percent of possession.

FC O City's best player was M. Nisztuk. However, L. Ben-Chaim made a disastrous appearance. B. Rubinke performed admirably for Quemabalones. S. Galarraga was a disappointment, however. The match ends 6 - 1.
