Goodfellas 1 - 4 Kuron (387357325)

Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 21068 at Cosmic Arena today. Marco Attanasio was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Markus Magnusson and Mats Roders. Goodfellas had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. The following players took the field: Conraux - Kaasonen, Perna, Souza Dias, Fiorito - Motseki, Nilsson, Malec, Carreño, Ruiz Díaz - Zawłocki.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Kuron. Starters: Sękulski - Ghyoot, Wufka, Chinrev - Rantalaine, Garippa, Elkjær, Fleica, Sabow - Rachdi, 法平 (Faping).

Kuron seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. After 25 minutes, the home side was awarded a penalty. The visitors protested wildly but the referee was adamant. S. Ruiz Díaz easily put the ball away to give the lead to Goodfellas. 1 - 0 26 minutes into the match Goodfellas's T. Motseki head butted an opponent nastily, and so the referee sent him off immediately. The head of F. Rachdi connected with a corner kick after 27 minutes, and the ball ended up with A. Garippa of Kuron who blasted the ball into the net, making the score 1 - 1. The home crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief when A. Chinrev was unable to put the ball in the net after his show of skill down the left 29 minutes into the match. He was seen beating the pitch in frustration at missing such a good chance to give his team the lead! 1 - 1 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to Kuron, who controlled the ball 56 percent of the time.

With 47 minutes having been played, his teammates looked on in disbelief as S. Carreño thoughtlessly misplayed the ball, setting up Kuron's F. Rachdi for an easy goal. 1 - 2. 梅. 法平 (Faping) came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over N. Conraux but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. After 54 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave S. Elkjær a chance to increase the lead for Kuron, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 1 - 3. Goodfellas's A. Zawłocki found himself alone on the left side 58 minutes into the match and laid down a perfect shot - right into the arms of the keeper! The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave O. Sabow from Kuron a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 68 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Content with how the game was proceeding, the Kuron coach let M. Paniccia replace V. Wufka after 75 minutes. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for Kuron, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. After 75 minutes, Kuron's 梅. 法平 (Faping) burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 1 - 4. The referee showed Kuron's F. Rachdi the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. S. Carreño was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so Goodfellas's R. Begly had to come off the bench. Kuron claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 61 percent.

Goodfellas's best player was M. Nilsson. A. Malec on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Kuron player was without a doubt 梅. 法平 (Faping) . However, M. Paniccia made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 4.
