Sunsets 1 - 4 Loserteam (367546439)

A scorching day at Rainbow Stadium, where 17735 spectators were in place for today's match. Emre Telmaç was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Iñaki de la Peña and Luca Barzotto. Sunsets decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. The following players took the field: Pawelec - Svarvar, Jolly, Perramon - Köneke, Ruperti, Donnelly, Rutten - Urroz, Mustahinić, Layna.

Loserteam had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Vanderbauwede - Undurain, Dioayuda, Colomo - Muriedas, Donapetri, del Arroyo, Petit, Krähe - Helmreich, Elexondo.

Sunsets tried to focus their attacks down the middle. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for Sunsets, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. They were singing the praises of P. Layna 5 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 1 - 0 to Sunsets. The home team will be cursing J. Petit for weeks; he finished off a great pass from the left, knocking it past the keeper without a problem. The match was level at 1 - 1 after 13 minutes. The terraces were silenced after 20 minutes when Loserteam's X. Donapetri put the guests ahead 1 - 2, following an attack on the right. 1 - 2 was the score after the first half. Loserteam claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 59 percent.

With 47 minutes played, Loserteam put themselves up 1 - 3 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was E. del Arroyo. The heat made it a terrible day for V. Colomo, who seemed unable to keep up with the other players. Sunsets's D. Rutten was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 51 minutes. After 69 minutes, Sunsets's S. Ruperti fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! Given a free kick close to the byline, Loserteam tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let E. del Arroyo slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 1 - 4, 73 minutes into the game. After 77 minutes Sunsets's F. Perramon contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. Loserteam enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 63 percent of possession.

P. Urroz performed admirably for Sunsets. D. Rutten on the other hand, had a terrible day. Loserteam's best player was X. Donapetri. M. Vanderbauwede was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 4.
