Patapalo 0 - 2 Ventanielles (393649840)

Dark skies made the crowd of 1161 at Wood Stick Arena a little nervous, but the rain held off. Lampros Tsalavoutas was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jaroslav Hrádel and Kenny Machiels. Patapalo started off with a 5-5-0 lineup. Lineup: Germain - Gkoutakis, Obojski, Babisz, García de Toledo, Vobořil - Chapman, Fiore, Sladky, Demetri, Nyborg -.

Ventanielles tactics involved an interesting 5-3-2 combination. Starters: Ruiz Llera - Tapia, Estremadouro, Hoyos, Ferri, Gols - Valseca, Tolosa, Erosa - Gaiztarro, Fenech.

For their match strategy, Ventanielles had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. Good work by the Ventanielles defensive line after 7 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found F. Fenech alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, H. Tapia got himself booked. The manager of Ventanielles was not happy. F. Fenech gave the visitors the lead 20 minutes into the match to make it 0 - 1. The goal was scored from the penalty spot after a handball in the penalty area. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. Neither team was controlling the possession at this point in the match, with the stats showing a 50:50 split.

Content with how the game was proceeding, the Ventanielles coach let R. Cherta replace P. Ruiz Llera after 46 minutes. C. Hoyos left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 46 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. R. Jimeno was the replacement. 55 minutes into the game, Ventanielles were awarded a penalty and F. Fenech was able to increase the visitors' lead to 0 - 2 rolling the ball in by the right post. The coach of Ventanielles was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 65 minutes, I. Almeyda came on for C. Estremadouro. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave J. Babisz from Patapalo a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 65 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Had it not been for one of the home defenders, F. Fenech would have put Ventanielles up another goal 69 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. The home crowd cheered when, after 76 minutes, D. Gaiztarro's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. Ventanielles claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.

J. Vobořil performed admirably for Patapalo. However, J. Babisz made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Ventanielles player was without a doubt F. Fenech. R. Cherta on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 2.
