Giallorossa 0 - 1 RIPGWWD (393302027)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Tana Dei Lupi saw a crowd turnout of 2409. Juha-Pekka Ranttila was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Ego Corilloclla and Ede Prahl. A 4-5-1 alignment was the formation of choice for Giallorossa. The following players took the field: Turillo - Bartolomei, Cataldi, Boitani, Alocci - Borgobello, Gilbert, Grob, Leutloff, Ajkunić - Iacomino.

RIPGWWD had chosen a strategic 5-5-0 formation. The following players had been chosen: Ruia - Lezeu, Cardenas, Seemann, Ñoño, Riccio - Litzel, Zink, Dupre, Litchenberger, Criscuolo -.

It was an obvious ambition of Giallorossa to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. 28 minutes in, Giallorossa appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only inadequate. RIPGWWD took the lead after 34 minutes making the score 0 - 1. J. Riccio placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. The swift technical skills of A. Ajkunić were often too much for the tall but somewhat slow J. Riccio who was humiliated after 37 minutes. He'll be breathing a huge sigh of relief after the final shot went wide. Giallorossa's V. Borgobello was shown a yellow card after 41 minutes for slicing down an opponent. 0 - 1 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to RIPGWWD, who controlled the ball 66 percent of the time.

During the break, Giallorossa's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to solid organisation. Maybe due to the uphill battle the team was facing, the Giallorossa manager looked to change things around. After 46 minutes, A. Alocci and R. Gilbert swapped positions on the field. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Giallorossa's I. Leutloff was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 46 minutes. M. Koudelka was given a chance to change things around. With 46 minutes played, the Giallorossa coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. M. Kalloch came on, C. Grob had to leave the fray. Some things can only be learned through experience, and E. Bartolomei should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting RIPGWWD a goal with 47 minutes of the match played. X. Litchenberger wanted to play on, but the RIPGWWD coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 55 minutes into the game by W. Hachel. After 62 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Giallorossa found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to weak. Good work by the RIPGWWD defensive line after 69 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found F. Litzel alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. RIPGWWD's F. Litzel refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 74 minutes. A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from A. Zink after 75 minutes, and prevented RIPGWWD from going up another goal. With the scoreboard showing that 76 minutes had been played, RIPGWWD nearly put themselves up another goal after A. Zink came through on the left. Fortunately for the home crowd, the keeper made the save. W. Hachel was, after 81 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper D. Turillo made the save. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by RIPGWWD, with 56 percent of the ball.

The most dominating Giallorossa player was without a doubt I. Iacomino. However, M. Cataldi made a disastrous appearance. RIPGWWD's best player was W. Hachel. F. Litzel on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 1.
