Casteldazzano 0 - 6 "faber" (366564923)

4822 punters turned up at Casteldazzano Calcio Arena, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Cãlin Stanciu was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jarosław Sosiński and Donnie Vreeke. Casteldazzano started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Brasini - Veridiani, Maestri, Nesta, Rampini - Solazzo, Tenzi, Tannoia, Pratarolo - Zangari, Sbrizzo.

"faber" tactics involved an interesting 4-3-3 combination. They fielded: Buchler - Burov, Szaj, Real de Asua, Pollex - Bonea, Zhou, Schönenberger - Thomaidis, Vermaesen, Marcq.

The guests took the lead 5 minutes into the match, after a right-side attack resulted in W. Marcq scoring to make it 0 - 1. Casteldazzano had to make a substitution after 8 minutes. A. Maestri limped off the field and was replaced by E. Terella. 13 minutes into the game, "faber" worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. After the ball was lifted in from the left, S. Real de Asua was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 15 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. A well placed corner kick from A. Szaj was followed by P. Pollex's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for "faber", the score now 0 - 2. Had it not been for one of the home defenders, M. Thomaidis would have put "faber" up another goal 18 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. It was 0 - 2 at the break. "faber" enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 59 percent of possession.

After 55 minutes, "faber"'s Q. Schönenberger burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 3. The visitors almost increased their lead after 63 minutes when a sweetly hit free kick looked like it was heading for the top corner. However the keeper managed to get a fingertip to it, sending it over the bar. W. Marcq left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 73 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. V. Arsenijević was the replacement. A. Szaj wanted to play on, but the "faber" coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 77 minutes into the game by L. Ortelecan. The coach of "faber" was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 80 minutes, K. De Vos came on for J. Zhou. After 80 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed V. Arsenijević to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 4. The players of "faber" now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. S. Real de Asua received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 85 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 5. The "faber" fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. "faber" increased their lead after 86 minutes when A. Vermaesen broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 6, much to the home crowd's dismay. Possession in this half belonged to "faber", who controlled the ball 59 percent of the time.

S. Sbrizzo performed admirably for Casteldazzano. G. Brasini turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating "faber" player was without a doubt A. Vermaesen. However, L. Ortelecan made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 6.
