Real 5 - 1 mikanmika (382900852)

37867 punters turned up at Coliseo Hayley Snell, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Yao Hwen Thiang was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Aleš Krek and Lauge Kristensen. Real started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Starters: Guio - Roupeiro, Lönnström, Duarte - Fischer, Asúa, Paindavoine, Saura, Uruç - Samuelsen, Vidarte.

A 4-3-3 alignment was the formation of choice for mikanmika. The following players took the field: Prats - Telemaco, Legierski, Schüßler, De Seranno - Sumisławski, Larsen, Caballero - Dmoch, Bulzomi, Rochefort.

Pressing was the tactic of the day for mikanmika. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to J. Samuelsen, but the Real player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! A. Fischer's speed was clear to see after 16 minutes, as he darted down the wing and released X. Vidarte who placed the ball into the back of the net to make the score 2 - 0. J. Samuelsen should probably have put his team up another goal after 21 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by O. Prats kept the visitors in the game. Real's P. Lönnström increased the lead to 3 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 24 minutes. A. Asúa could have increased the lead after 25 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. Real managed to extend their lead to 4 - 0 when X. Vidarte cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. By now, the players in Real felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. 4 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Real, with 70 percent of the ball.

Real's A. Asúa saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 53 minutes. After 61 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by X. Vidarte might have resulted in another goal for Real. However, O. Prats made a spectacular save. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Real scored another to make it 5 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for S. Duarte after 63 minutes. A corner kick created great disorder in the penalty area with a goal nearly scored by C. Schüßler. At last, mikanmika's T. Larsen was able to backheel the ball in. 5 - 1. X. Vidarte had a fantastic opportunity to put Real up another goal 78 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. Possession in this half belonged to Real, who controlled the ball 72 percent of the time.

Real's best player was J. Samuelsen. A. Fischer was a disappointment, however. J. Dmoch performed admirably for mikanmika. However, C. Schüßler made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 5 - 1.
