Komponenta 0 - 5 fefo (394125994)

3049 spectators arrived at Komponenta Arena, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Lennert van Daal was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Geri Heibner and Juozupas Pozniakas. Komponenta started off with a 5-3-2 lineup. Starters: Zirojević - Krstić, Petrović, Ćurčić, Jelić, Marić - Vlastimirović, Panajotović, Kovačević - Elek, Bečanović.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for fefo. The following players had been chosen: Cifuentes - Medina, Simonat, Mochetta - Gasteasoro, Chiesa, Furtună, Lanča, Molina - Velarde, Carrancio.

Komponenta clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. After 3 minutes, fefo sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached P. Gasteasoro, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 0 - 1. C. Furtună 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 K. Zirojević but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. Komponenta's N. Bečanović got himself booked for a foul. After 24 minutes, Komponenta's N. Bečanović fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! 26 minutes in, fefo appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only inadequate. With 27 minutes played, fefo put themselves up 0 - 2 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was H. Velarde. Á. Medina behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 27 minutes as he gave the ball away to M. Kovačević. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. With 29 minutes gone, fefo had a free kick in a decent position. Despite this being a great chance for a shot, they tried a cheeky move intended to bypass the defence. However, P. Gasteasoro did not manage to connect with it cleanly and the ball went out. With their counter attack move halted 30 minutes into the game, Komponenta were left with a free kick. The ball is passed straight through to the other end of the penalty area, with hopes for it to reach M. Kovačević. However, he didn't have his wits about him and the ball went out. S. Molina was, after 34 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper K. Zirojević made the save. 0 - 2 was the halftime score. fefo had most of the ball, with 54 percent of possession.

A review of the gameplan helped fefo get back to a solid organisation when the referee blew his whistle again. With 54 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed S. Molina of fefo to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 3. After 63 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as fefo found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to weak. An amazing free kick flew past the home keeper 72 minutes into the match, putting fefo ahead 0 - 4. W. Carrancio was the scorer. After 78 minutes of game time, W. Carrancio had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but K. Zirojević was in the right place and tipped the ball over for a corner. Komponenta's counterattacks created a good chance for P. Marić on the right after 79 minutes, but he could only look on with dismay as his strike rebounded off the crossbar. P. Marić of Komponenta received a yellow card after 81 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Coming in from the right, Komponenta had a good opportunity to convert on a counterattack after 86 minutes, but U. Vlastimirović's attempt to finish was easily stopped. fefo increased the lead to 0 - 5 as W. Carrancio scored from the penalty spot, putting the ball in near the top left corner. By now, the players in fefo felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. fefo claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 53 percent.

The most dominating Komponenta player was without a doubt R. Krstić. On the other hand, K. Zirojević's play was disheartening. fefo's best player was H. Velarde. H. Cifuentes turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 5.
