International 0 - 2 dindane (393435596)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Colosseum Lend saw a crowd turnout of 2532. Samuel Cossettini was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Ernesto Hernardo and Chris Franklin-Tong. International had chosen a strategic 5-3-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Länzlinger - Freund, Jenewein, Steininger, Schlögl, Lippert - Zielinksi, Sturm, Archer - Leturiaga, Fiamenghi.

dindane started off with a 5-4-1 lineup. Starters: Forlani - Karys, Hoffarth, Lucioni, Bevilacqua, Rotella - Klingenspringer, Surchi, Dotta, Matute Robres - Urtueta.

As R. Schlögl had, completely unprovoked, swept the legs out from under an opponent in front of a linesman, the referee gave the International player a red card without batting an eyelid. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave L. Klingenspringer from dindane a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 42 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! dindane had several good opportunities to take the lead, especially 43 minutes in when L. Klingenspringer came up alone against L. Länzlinger who managed a block. Coming in from the right, International had a good opportunity to convert on a counterattack after 44 minutes, but M. Zielinksi's attempt to finish was easily stopped. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. dindane had most of the ball, with 63 percent of possession.

The referee showed dindane's S. Hoffarth the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. 87 minutes into the match, dindane nearly took the lead, as L. Klingenspringer broke through on the right. L. Länzlinger made the save, however. dindane's E. Matute Robres was dominating his wing and kept sending fine balls into the opposition's box - V. Urtueta managed to volley one of them into the net to make it 0 - 1 after 89 minutes. dindane increased their lead after 89 minutes when G. Rotella broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 2, much to the home crowd's dismay. dindane claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 65 percent.

The most dominating International player was without a doubt M. Jenewein. However, B. Leturiaga made a disastrous appearance. V. Urtueta performed admirably for dindane. G. Rotella turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 2.
