LIM 03 0 - 5 Polgas (393412723)

Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 60000 at El Cascarón today. David Wright was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Vasilios Tzanetoulatos and Matthijs Becq. LIM 03 tactics involved an interesting 3-4-3 combination. The following players had been chosen: Salas - Machado, Bernabé, Malatesta - Palmese, Aymerich, Limański, Negri - Rada, Roig, Pereramon.

Polgas started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Lineup: Surroca - Rivas, Fernández, Cirillo - Kalliomäki, Salart, Parikka, Farré, Zanchi - á Lakjuni, Butterfield.

LIM 03 tried to focus their attacks down the middle. After 7 minutes, Polgas put themselves up 0 - 1, as P. Butterfield finished off a strike from the left with a real cannonball of a shot. Polgas had to make a substitution after 25 minutes. P. Butterfield limped off the field and was replaced by A. Köckeritz. After 27 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave P. Salart a chance to increase the lead for Polgas, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 2. The visitors nearly scored again after 32 minutes, but a superb save by L. Salas kept G. á Lakjuni's free kick out of the net. 33 minutes in, LIM 03's G. Pereramon received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. After 38 minutes, Polgas's H. Parikka fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! The referee signalled a penalty 39 minutes into the game following an offence which looked like it was outside the box. G. á Lakjuni knocked it home to make the score 0 - 3. 0 - 3 was the halftime score. Polgas had most of the ball, with 53 percent of possession.

G. á Lakjuni of Polgas took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 47 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 4. By now, the players in Polgas felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. LIM 03's G. Negri was shown a yellow card after 52 minutes for slicing down an opponent. The referee showed Polgas's H. Parikka the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. After 60 minutes, the Polgas players received new instructions from their manager on how to keep in control of the game. After 60 minutes, G. Pereramon had a good opportunity to reduce the scoreline for LIM 03 with a chance created through the middle, but wasn't cool enough. The ball went miles over the bar. After 65 minutes, LIM 03 switched R. Palmese with R. Mazo López, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. Polgas's A. Fernández got himself booked for a foul. Unfortunately for LIM 03, A. Aymerich was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. J. Galeote replaced him. An amazing free kick flew past the home keeper 79 minutes into the match, putting Polgas ahead 0 - 5. G. á Lakjuni was the scorer. That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for G. á Lakjuni. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Polgas, with 55 percent of the ball.

H. Rada performed admirably for LIM 03. However, J. Galeote made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Polgas player was without a doubt G. á Lakjuni. A. Köckeritz on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 5.
