Leones 7 - 0 Muerdi_me_manubrio (393577635)

2380 punters turned up at Estadio Leones de Lima FC "Surco Viejo", and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Teo Bledowa Bledwoski was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Carlos Abbiati and Juan Carlos Bareyre. Leones tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Cajahuamán - Osnabrügge, Skoczeń, Sahuquillo - Freyman, Dongo, 岡 (Oka), Iñarra, Vigneri - Wunderlich, Arancibia.

Muerdi_me_manubrio decided to use a 2-3-3 set up. The following players took the field: Proença - Bua, Milanesi - Segato, Cosano, Chiavegatti - Teixeira, Bettetini, Stanischeff.

Leones took the lead 2 minutes in, as N. Dongo broke through on the left and put the 1 - 0 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. With 7 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, N. Dongo needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. 12 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as S. Vigneri broke through, making the score 2 - 0 for Leones. F. Bua of Muerdi_me_manubrio was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Leones increased the lead as R. Wunderlich struck to make the score 3 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. Confident in their lead, Leones's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. 16 minutes into the game, Muerdi_me_manubrio seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to passable. With 22 minutes played, J. Iñarra could have brought this one home for Leones as he charged up on the left, but his hooked ball went just a bit too high. R. Wunderlich increased the lead for Leones to 4 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! It was 4 - 0 at the break. Leones claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 91 percent.

During the break, Muerdi_me_manubrio's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to solid organisation. Leones put themselves up 5 - 0 when N. Dongo broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. After 58 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Muerdi_me_manubrio found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to poor. After 65 minutes, N. Dongo put Leones ahead 6 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. This third goal completed a hattrick for N. Dongo. After 84 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and R. Wunderlich gave the Leones supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 7 - 0. At that, R. Wunderlich was noted down for a hat trick! Leones put in a good effort on the right, but R. Wunderlich saw his volley fly wide of the mark 86 minutes into the game. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave C. Bettetini from Muerdi_me_manubrio a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 87 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Leones had most of the ball, with 91 percent of possession.

The most dominating Leones player was without a doubt R. Wunderlich. On the other hand, S. Vigneri's play was disheartening. K. Stanischeff performed admirably for Muerdi_me_manubrio. A. Chiavegatti turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 7 - 0.
