puntoAR 0 - 2 Detras (393286488)

The 1373 fans in attendance at El Boliche de "Colacho" were roasting in the hot sun. Huệ Lý was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Radovan Karadžić and Lambertus Geervliet. puntoAR had chosen a strategic 5-4-1 formation. They fielded: Elizondo - Elizondo, Szilassy, Zvity, Ţurcanu, Schlaefli - van der Haar, Stentoft, Riart, Morena - Peaty.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Detras. The following players had been chosen: Pashnikov - Grünhagen, Vidal, Alzamendi - Villar, Sapir, Sánchez, Palaveccino, Hasani - Poko, ten Cate.

The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of Detras's A. Villar after 22 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 0 - 1 lead. H. ten Cate came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over A. Elizondo but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. With 43 minutes played, the puntoAR coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. L. Arriola came on, T. Stentoft had to leave the fray. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. Detras claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 52 percent.

puntoAR almost scored after a swift counterattack 50 minutes into the game, but T. Schlaefli put the shot from the left flank just outside the goal. A. Villar's early cross saw the defenders caught out of position and the alert H. ten Cate was able to pounce and roll the ball past the hapless goalkeeper to score for Detras. 0 - 2. L. Arriola didn't pace himself at all, and after a series of daring offensive runs he was too tired to help out in the defensive play. 72 minutes into the game, puntoAR seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a solid level of organisation. The sunny day didn't make things easy for H. ten Cate who didn't seem his usual powerful self on the pitch. 85 minutes in, puntoAR appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only inadequate. S. Szilassy enjoyed the sunshine and demonstrated his stunning technique over and over again. 87 minutes in, puntoAR's C. Morena received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Possession in this half belonged to Detras, who controlled the ball 57 percent of the time.

The most dominating puntoAR player was without a doubt S. Elizondo. L. Arriola turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important Detras player was C. Sánchez. A. Villar on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 2.
