Spider 3 - 1 déserteurs (370365435)

42780 spectators arrived at Inter Spider Arena, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Marc Fréchou was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Chulu Firosh and Cyril Buiteman. Spider had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Petrakos - Wintersteller, Vialette, Marcolin - Janjić, Monni, Van Steenberghe, Napoli, King - Medić, Martínez.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for déserteurs. Starters: Benucci - Oquendo, Vesić, Irauqui - Chênot, Burnichon, Dardari, Van Damme, Alexov - Esparon, Puig Martin.

Spider clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. The counterattacks of Spider were deadly and 3 minutes into the game, G. King received a nice pass from the right flank, making it 1 - 0. 8 minutes in, Spider's W. Wintersteller received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. With 14 minutes played, Spider put themselves up 2 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to T. Janjić, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. D. Monni could have increased the lead after 34 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. G. Alexov's early cross saw the defenders caught out of position and the alert F. Puig Martin was able to pounce and roll the ball past the hapless goalkeeper to score for déserteurs. 2 - 1. Cheers filled the stadium as C. Van Steenberghe broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 3 - 1 to Spider. Halftime score was 3 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to Spider, who controlled the ball 59 percent of the time.

R. Medić unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. C. Petrakos made a brilliant save 79 minutes into the match, blocking a rocket of a shot from F. Puig Martin on the right hand side. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave V. Van Damme from déserteurs a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 88 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Spider claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 59 percent.

C. Van Steenberghe performed admirably for Spider. W. Wintersteller on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important déserteurs player was J. Esparon. However, V. Vesić made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 3 - 1.
