CARPI 1 - 0 GoldFalcon (394255088)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 2040 to CABASSI. Rosalvo Negri was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Helge Jakobsen and Carlos María Placente. CARPI had chosen a strategic 5-4-1 formation. Starters: Sönnrichsen - Mayer, Watzinger, Napoleone, Lupsakko, Leitner - Bacci, De Osti, Shirokiy, Bocchia - Bella.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for GoldFalcon. The following players had been chosen: Zanfardino - Simar, de Wit, Hejna, Mitrofan - Ondona, Plescan, Balengier, Sosa - Hazan, Mininni.

CARPI were relying on their ability to counter-attack. For their match strategy, GoldFalcon had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. After 1 minutes, the GoldFalcon coach had a quick word about the tactical set-up and decided to try another approach. With the match clock at 1 minutes, GoldFalcon modified their style of play a little bit. 2 minutes into the match, the GoldFalcon manager wanted to try a new tactic, and the players loyally obliged. After 29 minutes, A. De Osti came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 1 - 0, giving CARPI the lead. GoldFalcon's A. Mitrofan was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 30 minutes. 1 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to CARPI, who controlled the ball 57 percent of the time.

As the game started to slip away for GoldFalcon, the manager decided to change the tactical approach. With the clock showing 71 minutes played, a great pass from the defensive line of GoldFalcon resulted in a counterattack that was smoothly brought under control by R. Mininni in the centre of the opposition's penalty area, but his finish went high. 75 minutes into the match GoldFalcon's H. Balengier viciously shoved another player from behind while going for a loose ball and was sent off the pitch with a red card. R. Bella's knee will be throbbing for days, but thankfully for CARPI, he bravely continued in the match. J. Napoleone behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 85 minutes as he gave the ball away to G. Hazan. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. GoldFalcon were able to draw a foul with their counterattacks, but the shot from R. Mininni went into the arms of the keeper. CARPI enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 67 percent of possession.

Most important CARPI player was B. Leitner. However, M. Sönnrichsen made a disastrous appearance. GoldFalcon's top performer was clearly G. Hazan. V. Hejna turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 0.
