1658 spectators had come to
el bombardero this cloudy day.

The following players had been chosen: Morel - Seckendorf, van Oel, Sanfilippo, Oliveros - Harder, Madrid, Kuilman - Guzmán, Owca, Berlepsch.
Barcelone* had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation.
Starters: Voigt - Crişan, Patrick, Møller Nielsen, Patouillard - Jahl, Lavaud, Leforestier, Zarins - Le Blanc, Ciron.
kracks_recre used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings.
Making his way up the middle 11 minutes into the match,
A. Owca almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert
G. Voigt blocked it to keep the score level.
Barcelone*'s
B. Ciron was shown a yellow card after 18 minutes for slicing down an opponent.
The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave
A. Owca from kracks_recre a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 31 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient!
33 minutes into the match, a typically brave header by
B. Ciron from
A. Zarins's cross looped just over the opposing goalkeeper's desperate reach. Goal for Barcelone*, making the score 0 - 1.
kracks_recre's
J. Berlepsch made an attempt at equalising 37 minutes into the match, coming in from the right, but the ball hit the post and the defence easily cleared the rebound.
The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1.
kracks_recre had most of the ball, with 54 percent of possession.
Content with how the game was proceeding, the Barcelone* coach let
J. Ørskov replace
W. Jahl after 75 minutes.
The Barcelone* players could smell victory in the air.
A. Leforestier wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for
B. Salles after 75 minutes.
The coach of Barcelone* was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 75 minutes,
A. Žilinec came on for
P. Le Blanc.
A. Žilinec of Barcelone* took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 78 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 2.
The home team's supporters got excited again when
N. Seckendorf broke through the visitors' central defence and caught their keeper off guard, making it 1 - 2.
kracks_recre players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead.
After 84 minutes of play,
L. Harder evened things up for kracks_recre with an impressive goal coming up the middle. 2 - 2.
kracks_recre took the lead 85 minutes in, as
A. Owca broke through on the left and put the 3 - 2 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper.
Possession in this half belonged to kracks_recre, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.
The most dominating kracks_recre player was without a doubt
A. Owca.
R. Oliveros turned in a dismal performance, however.

B. Ciron.
On the other hand,
R. Møller Nielsen's play was disheartening.
The match ends 3 - 2.
