Cepa 0 - 2 FrecciaAzzurra (364081353)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Vinito Arena saw a crowd turnout of 2286. Dennis Ernle was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Bengt Renkvist and Nazif Dizdarević. Cepa tactics involved an interesting 4-5-1 combination. Lineup: Kolmagorov - Kerridge, Dias Correia, Chamot, Leon Santos - Rafà, Roig, Blind, Capmany, Dürümcü - Nelson.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for FrecciaAzzurra. The following players had been chosen: Hopstaken - Dudojć, Füglistahler, Ciccione, Briem - Jackel, Botaya, Bănică, Volbekas - Jackson, Vold.

Cepa tried to focus their attacks down the middle. 7 minutes into the game, J. Vold almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. A counterattack by Cepa after 8 minutes could have resulted in a goal, but M. Capmany, coming in on the left, couldn't get the shot off. FrecciaAzzurra had to manage with a reduced squad after 21 minutes, as I. Jackel got sent off for a needless foul away from the game's action. 0 - 0 was the score after the first half. Cepa claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

J. Hopstaken would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. M. Polito entered the game for FrecciaAzzurra as the match clock showed 46 minutes. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 62 minutes allowed L. Ciccione to score for FrecciaAzzurra. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. No matter how hard he tried, E. Chamot just couldn't get his shot past the visitors' right side defence after 67 minutes. P. Dias Correia was suffering from cramp and had difficulty keeping up as the opposition pushed forward. J. Vold had no problems getting through and hit home to make the score 0 - 2. FrecciaAzzurra's P. Botaya missed a penalty shot 78 minutes into the contest. The shot produced was way too weak, allowing the keeper to collect it at his own leisure. Cepa enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of possession.

Most important Cepa player was P. Nelson. However, P. Dias Correia made a disastrous appearance. FrecciaAzzurra's best player was J. Vold. M. Polito turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 2.
