ASC 4 - 0 rubinhos (394287661)

A scorching day at Generali arena, where 1446 spectators were in place for today's match. Anel Panič was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Ian Zappa and Henrik Apelskog. ASC decided to use a 5-3-2 set up. They fielded: Ruiz - Tejero, Pavlů, Harder, 祖铭 (Zuming), D'Odorico - Skomro, Lees, Emad - Detremmerie, Graziani.

rubinhos started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Starters: Parrella - Arambide, Kouropoulos, Sánchez - Saenz Soria, Bagazgoitia, Deguai, Ribera Egea, Vieyra - Bynum, Mohd Indra Putra.

ASC mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. rubinhos tried to focus their attacks down the middle. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for ASC, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. It was a hot and sunny day, and several players seemed worn out. Maybe this was why V. Bagazgoitia found an unusual amount of space for his snappy footwork. ASC's A. Graziani showed his experience, anticipating the outcome of the opponent's defensive clearance and positioning himself perfectly to volley in an unstoppable shot from the edge of the box. 1 - 0. 26 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as A. Graziani broke through, making the score 2 - 0 for ASC. K. Lees could have put ASC up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 30 minutes. ASC managed to extend their lead to 3 - 0 when J. Detremmerie cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. 3 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by ASC, with 53 percent of the ball.

With 46 minutes played, the rubinhos coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. G. Mazo came on, P. Ribera Egea had to leave the fray. rubinhos had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. With 52 minutes played, C. Bynum had a fantastic opportunity to reply but his shot flew harmlessly into the side-netting of the goal. After 56 minutes, rubinhos switched P. Arambide with A. Aristimuño, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. G. D'Odorico unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave P. Saenz Soria from rubinhos a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 73 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! P. Saenz Soria fired a shot from distance after 84 minutes, but the long shot couldn't find the net for rubinhos. The heat made it a terrible day for G. Mazo, who seemed unable to keep up with the other players. ASC players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. A. Emad squirmed through their central defence after 87 minutes, increasing the lead to 4 - 0. C. Bynum had a couple of good opportunities to reply, but the home team's keeper E. Ruiz was simply unbeatable. ASC claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

ASC's top performer was clearly A. Skomro. A. Graziani was a disappointment, however. Most important rubinhos player was M. Mohd Indra Putra. M. Kouropoulos turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 4 - 0.
