Pernillo2 0 - 2 Pscruofl (393401018)

The 45000 spectators at Pernillo stadium were in for an afternoon of sunshine. Jay Potter was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Bernt Hollenstein and Gian Paolo Di Miceli. Pernillo2 decided to use a 2-5-3 set up. They fielded: Johansen - Arcioni, Morara - Jandiri, Burigana, Ferrando, Piovani, Nicoli - Toretto, Signoriello, Pisani.

Pscruofl tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Graaf - 瑞柏 (Ruibo), Campana, Gasiński - Rembò, Katsikoyiannis, Flynn, Candia, Frattini - Rafnarsson, Svendsen.

O. Pisani enjoyed the sunshine and demonstrated his stunning technique over and over again. 4 minutes in, Pernillo2's M. Toretto received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. 11 minutes had elapsed when a great chance for Pernillo2 to take the lead after a good cross from the right found M. Toretto alone with the keeper, but he chipped it to the wrong side of the post. With 33 minutes played A. Jandiri almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. 0 - 1 was the score with 38 minutes played, after G. Campana cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for Pscruofl. Halftime score was 0 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to Pernillo2, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

The coach of Pscruofl was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, J. Jacob came on for O. Svendsen. Pernillo2 needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 67 minutes D. Morara made way for P. Pilloni. Pernillo2's N. Burigana almost tied things up with 73 minutes played after breaking through on the right, but his shot deflected off the post. The visitors' G. Candia took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 77 minutes into the match. 0 - 2 for Pscruofl. There was concern in the stands when, at the 78 minute mark, Pscruofl's F. Frattini hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. L. Flynn could have added one to the visitors' lead if his free kick had gone just a little lower. O. Pisani of Pernillo2 was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Pernillo2 enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

M. Toretto performed admirably for Pernillo2. A. Jandiri on the other hand, had a terrible day. Pscruofl's top performer was clearly V. Rafnarsson. G. Campana turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 2.
