BarcaJava 0 - 3 x-gang (393132116)

It was an exceptionally sunny day for the crowd of 889 that came out to Tegoech stadium. Marco Baptista was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Carlos Casais and Marcin Rembalski. The match took place on neutral ground. BarcaJava had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players took the field: Cedeño - Galeev, Auge, Kinast - Ignácz, Hjelm Hansen, Sancin, Mesiti, Saptaji - Plasman, Supriansyah.

x-gang started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. Starters: Török - Granata, Silva Garcia, Vogel, Commini - Guise, Poly, Brandão, Kodrup - Quinteros, Martins.

It was an obvious ambition of BarcaJava to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. N. Cedeño looked great 4 minutes into the match after stopping a shot from the middle of the penalty area from the visitors' V. Silva Garcia. x-gang's S. Commini gave the visitors a 0 - 1 lead after 19 minutes with a superb strike from the right. After 20 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed F. Quinteros to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 2. BarcaJava had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. R. Supriansyah tried to get a goal back for BarcaJava but despite all his hard work down the right, he just couldn't complete the move. x-gang's E. Martins left the field after 29 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was F. Aras. The referee signalled a penalty 32 minutes into the game following an offence which looked like it was outside the box. S. Commini knocked it home to make the score 0 - 3. T. Saptaji made a nice dash down the wing after 34 minutes, but was unable to get the cross into the box. A goal kick was awarded. With 35 minutes played, S. Commini 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. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave W. Kinast from BarcaJava a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 37 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! It was 0 - 3 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to x-gang, who controlled the ball 59 percent of the time.

H. Plasman almost reduced the deficit, having drawn the entire left side defence away, but the shot went straight into the arms of the goalkeeper. Attacking on the wings was the choice for BarcaJava, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. BarcaJava were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. BarcaJava had a brilliant opportunity to reply as Z. Ignácz received a high ball from the right, striking the ball in the air. Only V. Török's reflexes saved him. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by x-gang, with 58 percent of the ball.

A. Mesiti performed admirably for BarcaJava. On the other hand, W. Kinast's play was disheartening. x-gang's best player was F. Aras. V. Török was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 3.
