Black 2 - 5 MILAN (266664577)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 17000 to Black Dingo Stadium. Oskar Beger was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Gabriel Roma and Heinz Myer. Black had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Buaron - Heffner, Lombana, Šurev - Bawolski, Moreira, Fridmanas, Shabani, Bayón - Giphart, Coimbra.

A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for MILAN. Lineup: Penev - Jullá, Iosifescu, Bulachas - Zãbavã, Sima, Crãciunescu, Hansen - Solari, Bäckbom, Aguirre.

J. Jullá of MILAN seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 0 - 1 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by V. Crãciunescu. The Black equaliser came after 11 minutes when M. Shabani floated in a free kick making the score 1 - 1. MILAN's B. Zãbavã got himself booked for a foul. Black created a good opportunity to score 16 minutes into the match when J. Bayón's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. MILAN's L. Aguirre gave the visitors a 1 - 2 lead after 18 minutes with a superb strike from the right. The suddenness of the Black's T. Coimbra's pass to O. Giphart after 19 minutes caught the opposition wrong-footed, and they could only watch as the ball sailed home for 2 - 2. The guests took the lead 23 minutes into the match, after a right-side attack resulted in L. Aguirre scoring to make it 2 - 3. It was 2 - 3 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to MILAN, who controlled the ball 61 percent of the time.

After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, O. Solari got himself booked. The manager of MILAN was not happy. Black's M. Shabani had a hard, curved free kick after 56 minutes that would have paid off, had it gone just a little lower. P. Iosifescu of MILAN was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. With 59 minutes played, MILAN's V. Crãciunescu missed a penalty when the keeper made a premature dive in the right direction, and palmed the ball out of the way. The visitors' J. Jullá took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 70 minutes into the match. 2 - 4 for MILAN. After 77 minutes, MILAN's A. Bulachas burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 2 - 5. After this, you could see that the players of MILAN were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Content with how the game was proceeding, the MILAN coach let O. Chaves replace O. Solari after 85 minutes. MILAN had most of the ball, with 66 percent of possession.

Black's best player was O. Giphart. A. Buaron on the other hand, had a terrible day. V. Crãciunescu performed admirably for MILAN. However, J. Jullá made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 5.
