Everybody 0 - 8 George (391570820)

12000 spectators had come to Princeton-Plainsboro Arena this cloudy day. Rafael Undiano was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Bo Nielsen and Johannes Calmar. Everybody started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Stolero - Faria Brito, Higino, Genipabu, Dinis - Toresan, Tabajara, Reizinho, Giaretta - Moreira, Mocidade.

George decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: Michieli - Alvarenga, Silva Rocha, Santana - Cruz Couto, Ribichini, Livramento, Sánchez, Peixoto - Chapeta, Pires Dias.

Pressing was the tactic of the day for George. George's B. Chapeta gave the visitors a 0 - 1 lead after 9 minutes with a superb strike from the right. After 25 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for B. Chapeta who increased George's lead to 0 - 2. 30 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 3 as N. Peixoto finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. After this, you could see that the players of George were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. With 31 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed J. Silva Rocha of George to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 4. 0 - 4 was the score after the first half. George had most of the ball, with 72 percent of possession.

George pressed their opponents, causing the game to be a bit of a stalemate at times. After 60 minutes, Everybody's N. Toresan fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! 62 minutes into the game, Everybody seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to inadequate. At this time in the match, George were using their skill at pressing to successfully stifle the game. A. Cruz Couto's early cross saw the defenders caught out of position and the alert R. Pires Dias was able to pounce and roll the ball past the hapless goalkeeper to score for George. 0 - 5. An amazing free kick flew past the home keeper 77 minutes into the match, putting George ahead 0 - 6. N. Peixoto was the scorer. Some fine movement on the left led to a George goal after 78 minutes, making it 0 - 7. T. Ribichini was noted down as the scorer. After 85 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Everybody found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to inadequate. After 86 minutes, George sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached A. Livramento, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 0 - 8. Possession in this half belonged to George, who controlled the ball 84 percent of the time.

The most dominating Everybody player was without a doubt J. Mocidade. However, Z. Stolero made a disastrous appearance. George's top performer was clearly N. Peixoto. A. Santana was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 8.
