Sapastratots 1 - 1 Loliteam (394056338)

Clouds darkened the skies at Pelacañas Stadium as 852 spectators turned up for the match. Paul Justice was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Marc Vasseur and Michael Paumgarten. Sapastratots tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Starters: Elgorriaga - Passarell, Yugueros, Caseda - Echebarrieta, Iramategi, Rovira, Romero, Moro - Veintimilla, Vita.

A 4-5-1 alignment was the formation of choice for Loliteam. The following players took the field: Etxeberria - Paskum, Candoso, Brotto, De Simon - Kilijanek, Fragoso, Pelletti, Bordone, Hruboš - Bongaerts.

The guests took the lead 1 minutes into the match, after a right-side attack resulted in G. De Simon scoring to make it 0 - 1. Loliteam had to make a substitution after 17 minutes. O. Etxeberria limped off the field and was replaced by M. Nesim. M. Bongaerts came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over A. Elgorriaga but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. Halftime score was 0 - 1. Sapastratots enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

The bench was restless, and with 46 minutes passed Sapastratots's coach gave R. Méndez Castro the opportunity the player had been hoping for. W. Veintimilla reluctantly left the field. 49 minutes into the game, M. Caseda came close to levelling the score with a dangerous shot from the centre of the area that went just over the bar. R. Méndez Castro charged down the left and had a wonderful opportunity to score the equaliser for Sapastratots, but the shot went well wide of the goal. R. Moro's speed was clear to see after 63 minutes, as he darted down the wing and released R. Méndez Castro who placed the ball into the back of the net to make the score 1 - 1. Sapastratots were very close to putting themselves one up after 78 minutes as O. Rovira got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. Sapastratots had most of the ball, with 54 percent of possession.

Most important Sapastratots player was S. Vita. However, J. Echebarrieta made a disastrous appearance. Loliteam's top performer was clearly T. Pelletti. P. Bordone was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 1.
