Blu's 1 - 1 Sua (381666361)

Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 60332 at blu's Stadium today. Blu's started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Kądzielski - Uruabarrena, Csarnai, Pinto - Janev, Filoni, Muñoz, Breunig, Olev - Payán, Lundt.

Sua tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Grabbi - Luly, Bossi, Saresera, Cerutti - Baltico, Zufacchi, Marbizza, Magnaterra - Casali, Goretti.

Sua were relying on their ability to counter-attack. Blu's were very close to putting themselves one up after 20 minutes as A. Payán got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. The counterattacks of Sua were deadly and 21 minutes into the game, M. Cerutti received a nice pass from the right flank, making it 0 - 1. Blu's's V. Olev left the field after 27 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was S. Fara. W. Kądzielski got a fingertip on P. Magnaterra's shot from the left 44 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. On any other day, J. Uruabarrena's free kick would have found the back of the net to tie the game for Blu's, but not today - the visitors' keeper displayed extraordinary reflexes as he blocked the shot harmlessly to the side. Halftime score was 0 - 1. Blu's claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 62 percent.

Sua's P. Magnaterra placed the ball right at his teammate's feet after a corner, but O. Luly couldn't finish. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Blu's's J. Muñoz was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 50 minutes. I. Kamzee was given a chance to change things around. After 58 minutes, A. Payán made a dash down the middle past the away team's defenders to score the goal that made it 1 - 1. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, J. Uruabarrena got himself booked. The manager of Blu's was not happy. 70 minutes into the game, Blu's wanted to bring some new energy to their game. E. Filoni gave A. Mangum a quick hug as he left the field. Possession in this half belonged to Blu's, who controlled the ball 60 percent of the time.

Most important Blu's player was I. Kamzee. C. Pinto on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Sua player was without a doubt U. Goretti. L. Saresera was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 1.
