Talaveranos 1 - 0 LTFC (393261002)

3308 spectators had found their way to El Prado Arena, despite the heavy rain. 王 (Wong) 鴻新 (Hongxin) was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Laurens Sondervan and Marcos Vilaseca. Talaveranos had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. Lineup: García de Cueto - Ortexa, Miny, Tyc, Castellan - Filomena, Del Castillo, Idhmad, Echacán, Peña - Mihai.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for LTFC. Starters: Latina - Bellotto, De Marinis, De Carli - Bonassoli, Lista, Verzeroli, Ricciardi, Cotecchia - De Meo, Klemet.

E. Bonassoli, who often relies on his speed, had a rotten day on the drenched grass. Many thought V. Tyc ought to have been awarded a penalty 13 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around G. Latina after a determined run through the middle. After a fine move down the middle T. Miny nearly gave the home side a goal after 14 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. Thighs bulging, M. Filomena charged past the weaker players, seemingly oblivious to the rain. Talaveranos's T. Miny tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. Some great play up the middle by Talaveranos led to a chance for J. Del Castillo to score after 28 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. 0 - 0 was the score after the first half. Talaveranos claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 73 percent.

A. Ricciardi behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 55 minutes as he gave the ball away to M. Echacán. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. Making his way up the middle 61 minutes into the match, J. Peña almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert G. Latina blocked it to keep the score level. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to A. Idhmad, but the Talaveranos player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! R. Lista of LTFC received a yellow card after 77 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Possession in this half belonged to Talaveranos, who controlled the ball 74 percent of the time.

The most dominating Talaveranos player was without a doubt M. Echacán. However, M. Castellan made a disastrous appearance. Most important LTFC player was N. De Meo. D. Cotecchia turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 0.
