previous 10/10 next 2/10  Edge 0 - 5 Xaxinense (393424321)

58000 fans braved the pouring rain at Edge of the World. Joaquín Rodríguez was the appointed referee. Edge started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Kvarnbo - Keiser, Magalhães, Fagervik - Verdún, Andreatta, Pando, Pires Dias, Melkko - D'Argenio, Piripilli.

Xaxinense decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Maier - Gyllenner, Lewalter, Gomez - Charni, Healey, Vatter, Kutner, Stenflod - Aballe, Brinkman.

D. Piripilli was having a great game - if anything the pouring rain seemed to be spurring him on! M. Vatter came close to putting the visiting team one up 13 minutes into the match, following a solo raid down the middle, but P. Kvarnbo managed to tip the ball to a corner. The Xaxinense coach adjusted their lineup with 31 minutes gone. B. Lewalter and C. Gomez assumed each other's positions. The rain made it hard for players like P. Brinkman to show their technical control of the ball on this soggy day. 36 minutes into the match, the visiting Xaxinense made the score 0 - 1 after B. Lewalter executed a perfect free kick. A drive down the left side allowed P. Brinkman to get in close and score another goal for Xaxinense after 38 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 2. 39 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 3 as B. Aballe finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. P. Brinkman was, after 40 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 P. Kvarnbo made the save. Halftime score was 0 - 3. Xaxinense claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 58 percent.

The home side worked their way through the middle and almost got one back when L. Fagervik tried to sneak the ball past the keeper. R. Maier was too alert for that! The home crowd was not impressed when B. Aballe came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 68 minutes. Xaxinense were now up 0 - 4. Xaxinense's M. Vatter left the field after 80 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was A. Fontes. B. Lewalter became the new Xaxinense captain. With 82 minutes played, P. Brinkman nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. Xaxinense increased their lead after 83 minutes when D. Kutner broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 5, much to the home crowd's dismay. Xaxinense had most of the ball, with 59 percent of possession.

Edge's best player was N. D'Argenio. M. Keiser was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Xaxinense player was without a doubt B. Aballe. However, É. Charni made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 5.
