Gauchos 6 - 2 jugam!!! (364130990)

The 34566 spectators at New Field were in for an afternoon of sunshine. Ghalib Ja'far Al-Haramy was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Arthur Couchepin and Tobias Wegener. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Gauchos. The following players took the field: Manrique Rojas - van der Pennen, Raychev, Scherer - Vivar Díaz, Betuštiak, Stalenczyk, Kurula, Rivera - Axelsen, Decancq.

jugam!!! tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Campos - Valbén, Espanyol, Lario Oñate - Bolet, Romero Ojea, Vedeja, Arqués, Eristain - Zabala, Vicens.

The strategy for Gauchos was to use their ability to press. jugam!!! seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. The guests almost went up by a goal after 5 minutes when G. Vicens came through and shot from the right. The ball bounced harmlessly off the post, though. Gauchos broke through on the left 6 minutes into the game, with P. Decancq firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. jugam!!!'s M. Eristain had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 31 minutes having been played. N. Galison was the replacement. After 35 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by M. Betuštiak might have resulted in another goal for Gauchos. However, V. Campos made a spectacular save. Gauchos's W. van der Pennen increased the lead to 2 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 37 minutes. With clinical precision, the cross from winger N. Galison found its way to G. Vicens's head, and a screaming header gave jugam!!! the goal after 39 minutes played. 2 - 1 At this time in the match, Gauchos were using their skill at pressing to successfully stifle the game. 41 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as P. Decancq broke through, making the score 3 - 1 for Gauchos. After this, you could see that the players of Gauchos were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. The referee showed Gauchos's A. Vivar Díaz the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 1. Gauchos enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 51 percent of possession.

Gauchos solidified their lead at the 50 minute mark, as R. Rivera dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 4 - 1. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Gauchos's A. Vivar Díaz increasing the lead to 5 - 1. 哈. 德山 (Deshan) was called on to replace jugam!!!'s V. Campos after 69 minutes following a nasty collision. It was a hot and sunny day, and several players seemed worn out. Maybe this was why T. Axelsen found an unusual amount of space for his snappy footwork. jugam!!! were desperate to get a goal back and pushed forward through the middle 83 minutes into the game. After a scramble in the box, the ball dropped to N. Galison, who smashed it home to make the score 5 - 2. C. Romero Ojea had a lethal looking free kick that grazed the post after 86 minutes. With 87 minutes played, Gauchos put themselves up 6 - 2 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to A. Vivar Díaz, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. Possession in this half belonged to jugam!!!, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

The most dominating Gauchos player was without a doubt M. Betuštiak. R. Rivera turned in a dismal performance, however. jugam!!!'s best player was C. Zabala. 哈. 德山 (Deshan) was a disappointment, however. The match ends 6 - 2.
