Segredos 6 - 1 Amberg (379540950)

The crowd of 2873 turning up at estádio dos Segredos today were greeted with some nasty showers of rain. Arbo Mix was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Matej Miklík and Arnold Høydal. Segredos started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Taperapuã - Nunes Jorge, Soares, Lourenço - Ternavskiy, Carvalho, Monteiro, Monteiro, Pereira - Leitão, Cruz.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Amberg. The following players had been chosen: Schuon - Gavryushov, Reister, Alcázar Yunta - Dal Lago, Ewen, Ecvet, Schliep, Eichhorst - Guignon, Gloede.

Segredos saw most attack opportunities on the wings. Today, Amberg's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. E. Nunes Jorge behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 7 minutes as he gave the ball away to K. Eichhorst. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. R. Baleiras was called on to replace Segredos's E. Nunes Jorge after 24 minutes following a nasty collision. After some beautiful movement down the left wing, M. Soares scored for Segredos putting them ahead 1 - 0, after 25 minutes. Given a free kick close to the byline, Segredos tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let A. Lourenço slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 2 - 0, 28 minutes into the game. M. Monteiro unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. With 36 minutes gone, Segredos had a free kick in a decent position. Despite this being a great chance for a shot, they tried a cheeky move intended to bypass the defence. However, S. Ternavskiy did not manage to connect with it cleanly and the ball went out. Amberg showed their counterattack skill 37 minutes into the match by breaking through the middle, with M. Gloede scoring uncontested for 2 - 1. Segredos increased the lead as F. Pereira struck to make the score 3 - 1 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. Halftime score was 3 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to Segredos, who controlled the ball 61 percent of the time.

Content with how the game was proceeding, the Segredos coach let I. Carvalho Garcia replace M. Monteiro after 46 minutes. The Segredos players could smell victory in the air. F. Pereira wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for J. Matos after 46 minutes. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Segredos to 4 - 1 as S. Ternavskiy finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. The rain made it hard for players like M. Alcázar Yunta to show their technical control of the ball on this soggy day. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Segredos scored another to make it 5 - 1 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for A. Leitão after 60 minutes. Segredos were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. Segredos managed to extend their lead to 6 - 1 when D. Carvalho cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. After this, you could see that the players of Segredos were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Amberg's M. Alcázar Yunta got himself booked for a foul. J. Matos's knee will be throbbing for days, but thankfully for Segredos, he bravely continued in the match. Segredos enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 56 percent of possession.

J. Matos performed admirably for Segredos. A. Lourenço on the other hand, had a terrible day. Amberg's best player was M. Gloede. C. Reister was a disappointment, however. The match ends 6 - 1.
