Bujarras 1 - 1 Pollitos (393377488)

A scorching day at Bujarras La Concha, where 1072 spectators were in place for today's match. Mikael Olasmaa was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Arto Airikka and Alessandro van Schuppen. Bujarras had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. Lineup: Guantes - van Reeuwijk, van de Put, Busonero - Palluzzi, Chávez, Roldós, Zaltzman - Schilli, Edelhofer, Biscarini.

Pollitos started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Mira - Payret, Vilasetrú, Giovannoni - Martín, Pereira, Featherstone, 伟忠 (Weizhong) - Devran, Sarid, Cupons.

With 9 minutes played, the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending. S. Pereira put the ball away for 0 - 1. 14 minutes in, Pollitos's 于. 伟忠 (Weizhong) received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Bujarras were forced into a substitution as L. Busonero couldn't continue due to some rough treatment, forcing S. Ivon to come in off the bench. B. Devran neatly controlled the ball after a short corner, and knocked it on to A. Sarid who had the whole net open before him, but only managed to hit the post. After 25 minutes of play, F. van Reeuwijk equalised for Bujarras after an elegant attack from the right. 29 minutes into the game, R. Martín had a great chance to put his team ahead, but his kick from the left went wide. J. Guantes looked great 30 minutes into the match after stopping a shot from the middle of the penalty area from the visitors' R. Martín. Y. Zaltzman's technique was perfect on this sunny day and led to some breathtaking tricks that bamboozled the defence. Bujarras almost scored after a counterattack 36 minutes into the match, but S. Ivon took a shot from the left that landed harmlessly in the side of the net. With 38 minutes played F. Biscarini almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to Pollitos, who controlled the ball 59 percent of the time.

Pollitos's S. Pereira could have put the guests one up after 62 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but J. Guantes was as fast as a snake, grabbing the ball from under his nose. 67 minutes of the match played, and a comedy of errors by the home side gave the visitors a chance at the lead, but 于. 伟忠 (Weizhong), after finding himself dashing down on goal from the left with only the keeper to beat, sliced his shot horribly wide. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave R. Cupons from Pollitos a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 72 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Pollitos enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 60 percent of possession.

Bujarras's top performer was clearly F. van Reeuwijk. Y. Zaltzman was a disappointment, however. Most important Pollitos player was A. Sarid. On the other hand, G. Vilasetrú's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 1.
