elgranalb 4 - 0 REAL (393188607)

3948 spectators arrived at de la Cal Stadium, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Ivan Vodenicharov was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Łukasz Taczanowski and Dario Lugin. elgranalb started off with a 2-5-3 lineup. They fielded: 恒敬 (Hengjing) - Wdzięczna, Galantucci - Mullor, Colarusso, Polloni, Jarry, Barcons - Ortiz Osborne, Şteopan, Madariaga Orozco.

REAL tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Batista - Angelucci, Skilitsis, Alfaro - Tankink, Rebolledo, Barreto, Bolaños, Sánchez - Arias, Corlett.

elgranalb could have put themselves ahead after 29 minutes but P. Mullor missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. elgranalb were very close to putting themselves one up after 30 minutes as A. Barcons got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. Many thought M. Şteopan ought to have been awarded a penalty 31 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around S. Batista after a determined run through the middle. A. Barcons sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from G. Galantucci after 40 minutes of play, making the score 1 - 0. N. Madariaga Orozco unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. Halftime score was 1 - 0. elgranalb had most of the ball, with 79 percent of possession.

elgranalb's N. Colarusso had an excellent opportunity after 50 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave P. Mullor from elgranalb a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 58 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Unfortunately for REAL, D. Rebolledo was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. M. Sandoval replaced him. Content with how the game was proceeding, the elgranalb coach let M. Skutt replace N. Colarusso after 65 minutes. R. Jarry left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 65 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. V. Orquín was the replacement. Some things can only be learned through experience, and F. Polloni should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting REAL a goal with 70 minutes of the match played. Things were deteriorating for the away team as elgranalb scored another to make it 2 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for J. Ortiz Osborne after 72 minutes. Cheers filled the stadium as N. Madariaga Orozco broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 3 - 0 to elgranalb. The players of elgranalb now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. J. Ortiz Osborne should probably have put his team up another goal after 74 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by S. Batista kept the visitors in the game. After 80 minutes, elgranalb raised their score by one when A. Barcons's dangerous low cross was cleverly tucked in at the near post by M. Şteopan. 4 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to elgranalb, who controlled the ball 77 percent of the time.

elgranalb's best player was J. Ortiz Osborne. V. Orquín on the other hand, had a terrible day. J. Tankink performed admirably for REAL. A. Corlett was a disappointment, however. The match ends 4 - 0.
