llaavviinniiaa 0 - 5 CALELLA (393855563)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and llaavviinniiaa Arena saw a crowd turnout of 2128. Borre Langedijk was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Carlos Mario Silva and Robert Fackelmann. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for llaavviinniiaa. Lineup: Mandachi - Arsin, Ivan, Greculescu - Oláh, Langella, Bulz, Baltă, Geoffroy - Constandache, Sebeşi.

CALELLA tactics involved an interesting 3-4-3 combination. The following players had been chosen: Kotzem - Groszmann, Blackwell, Gaberthuel - Abramov, Sunesson, Borovský, Burić - Riganti, Rujak, Vissing.

CALELLA's goal to make the score 0 - 1 came via a questionable penalty, but M. Burić struck it home without a second thought. E. Mandachi got a fingertip on M. Riganti's shot from the left 33 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. After 35 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for K. Gaberthuel who increased CALELLA's lead to 0 - 2. After 39 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed S. Rujak to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 3. The visitors added to their lead 41 minutes into the game, after a sensational penalty kick by CALELLA's M. Burić slid just past the home keeper. 0 - 4. After this, you could see that the players of CALELLA were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. 42 minutes in, llaavviinniiaa's N. Langella received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. It was 0 - 4 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by CALELLA, with 58 percent of the ball.

Had it not been for one of the home defenders, R. Sunesson would have put CALELLA up another goal 49 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. R. Greculescu behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 69 minutes as he gave the ball away to B. Vissing. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. After 72 minutes, CALELLA's Y. Abramov burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 5. Possession in this half belonged to CALELLA, who controlled the ball 57 percent of the time.

S. Baltă performed admirably for llaavviinniiaa. A. Arsin on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important CALELLA player was B. Vissing. D. Blackwell was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 5.
