Sanju 0 - 1 Baraka (878114)

Sanju had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. Lineup: Delahaije - Greer, Rantala, Băloi, Remøyholm - Kluka, Stjärnfeldt, Esmeriz, Hazim, Meier - Svensson.

Baraka tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Rubio Rueda - Medina Davila, Millán, Marrón - Moßhammer, Vasile, Evans, Solís, Sanchírico - Wurth, Hellenurm.

Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Sanju. Sanju had a chance to take the lead after B. Kluka's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 13 minutes. Baraka took the lead after 14 minutes making the score 0 - 1. N. Sanchírico placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. After 36 minutes of game time, A. Marrón had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but A. Delahaije was in the right place and tipped the ball over for a corner. After the ball was lifted in from the left, I. Millán was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 37 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. 0 - 1 was the halftime score. Baraka enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 59 percent of possession.

A counterattack by Sanju after 58 minutes could have resulted in a goal, but T. Hazim, coming in on the left, couldn't get the shot off. Sanju almost scored after a swift counterattack 66 minutes into the game, but B. Meier put the shot from the left flank just outside the goal. T. Hazim of Sanju was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Sanju had a great opportunity to score following a counterattack after 73 minutes, but P. Stjärnfeldt's shot from the left sailed high over the bar. Baraka had most of the ball, with 61 percent of possession.

Sanju's top performer was clearly B. Svensson. On the other hand, B. Meier's play was disheartening. S. Solís performed admirably for Baraka. V. Medina Davila on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 1.
