callao 0 - 8 Preachers (376970476)

The 12000 spectators at Monumental de Benjamin Breeg were in for an afternoon of sunshine. Mikael Tegman was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Diego Armando Romero and Javier Ibáñez. callao decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. They fielded: Chávarri - Willwater, Falcón, Benavides, Echegaray - Vigo, Quijano, Cubillas, Capcha - Huamán, Vértiz.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Preachers. The following players had been chosen: Vīns - Hippenstiel, Fonseca, Vonbank, Helbing - Aromaa, Garoz, Cociña, Comes - Mäenniemi, Kaldrup.

Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 7 minutes into the match left Preachers's M. Mäenniemi completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. With 10 minutes played, Preachers's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to J. Fonseca he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 0 - 2. After 12 minutes, Preachers's M. Mäenniemi burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 3. After 18 minutes, Preachers's T. Aromaa fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! E. Echegaray behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 19 minutes as he gave the ball away to T. Aromaa. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. After 20 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for N. Kaldrup who increased Preachers's lead to 0 - 4. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Preachers lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. callao's L. Cubillas refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 28 minutes. There was concern in the stands when, at the 32 minute mark, callao's M. Huamán hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. N. Kaldrup received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 34 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 5. The Preachers fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. 0 - 5 was the score after the first half. Preachers enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 78 percent of possession.

The home crowd cheered when, after 49 minutes, A. Comes's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. A drive down the left side allowed J. Garoz to get in close and score another goal for Preachers after 54 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 6. A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from T. Aromaa after 77 minutes, and prevented Preachers from going up another goal. Some fine movement on the left led to a Preachers goal after 78 minutes, making it 0 - 7. L. Vonbank was noted down as the scorer. 80 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 8 as R. Cociña finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. The intense heat forced G. Willwater into making some errors because he couldn't seem to keep up with the others. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Preachers, with 81 percent of the ball.

The most dominating callao player was without a doubt C. Vértiz. M. Huamán turned in a dismal performance, however. Preachers's best player was N. Kaldrup. N. Hippenstiel on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 8.
