Futebol 3 - 1 maniov (393500611)

The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 2011 had shown up at Estadio Luiz Paulo Rezende for the match. Giuliano Focardi was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Roman Hofer and Cenan Dulinski. Futebol started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. Lineup: Alcântara - Baiano, Fieber, Neto - Prestes, Negreiros, Palmeira, Borrego - da Silva, de França, Lourenço.

maniov tactics involved an interesting 5-2-1 combination. They fielded: Teeuwsen - Cuyubamba, Precedo, Scriha, Chiodi, Meiss - Caesar, Murenu - Reznik.

O. da Silva of Futebol received a yellow card after 2 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. After 3 minutes, the home side was awarded a penalty. The visitors protested wildly but the referee was adamant. N. Lourenço easily put the ball away to give the lead to Futebol. 1 - 0 A lunatic dribble by L. Precedo, in front of his own keeper, set up Futebol's Z. de França for an embarrassingly easy strike after 9 minutes. 2 - 0! I. Baiano unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. 2 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by maniov, with 51 percent of the ball.

maniov fought on and, after 52 minutes, S. Caesar was able to reduce the deficit to 2 - 1 after some excellent moves on the right side were finished off with an incredibly clever chip. maniov's L. Precedo refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 64 minutes. B. Cuyubamba's lack of experience almost gave Futebol a goal after 65 minutes, but the shot went right into the keeper's arms. 73 minutes into the game, maniov seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to poor. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Futebol's Z. de França increasing the lead to 3 - 1. The players of Futebol now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. maniov enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 53 percent of possession.

The most dominating Futebol player was without a doubt Z. de França. C. Fieber was a disappointment, however. L. Precedo performed admirably for maniov. C. Meiss turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 1.
