BCG1 0 - 4 DelijeWindsor (393239789)

Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 49884 at ESTADIO JALISCO today. Yuriy Kutsenko was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Paweł Bartłomowicz and Jörg Borenich. BCG1 had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Starters: Šmídek - Perrier, Åstedt, Illa - Auerswald, Stojanowski, Foderà, Kolak, Belluccini - Virtanen, Krot.

DelijeWindsor started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Tenorio - Moore, Anthuenis, Johansson - Beaucage, Ingram, Milot, Buckley, Lee - Ducreux, Ruiz Llera.

The wings were the focus of most of BCG1's attacks today. DelijeWindsor clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. DelijeWindsor had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 8 minutes allowed S. Beaucage to score for DelijeWindsor. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. No matter how hard he tried, A. Virtanen just couldn't get his shot past the visitors' right side defence after 13 minutes. P. Ducreux received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 15 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 2. The DelijeWindsor fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. The players of DelijeWindsor now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. It was 0 - 2 at the break. DelijeWindsor had most of the ball, with 57 percent of possession.

Although the whole team were struggling to impress, BCG1's A. Åstedt was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 46 minutes. O. Dobra was given a chance to change things around. BCG1's F. Auerswald soared above the crowd, but couldn't knock the corner home 47 minutes into the match. With 56 minutes played, S. Beaucage 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. After 80 minutes, BCG1 switched L. Krot with M. Barajas, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. W. Ingram received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 80 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. BCG1 needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 87 minutes M. Šmídek made way for Y. Vallée. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for DelijeWindsor, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. After 87 minutes, DelijeWindsor's S. Beaucage burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 3. A penalty was awarded after 88 minutes, and M. Johansson made the most of his chance to put DelijeWindsor up by another goal. 0 - 4 for the visitors. BCG1 had a brilliant opportunity to reply as G. Belluccini received a high ball from the right, striking the ball in the air. Only G. Tenorio's reflexes saved him. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by DelijeWindsor, with 56 percent of the ball.

BCG1's top performer was clearly I. Kolak. Y. Vallée on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating DelijeWindsor player was without a doubt R. Milot. On the other hand, H. Buckley's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 4.
