WHADCO 0 - 7 PCR (391899793)

22734 spectators had found their way to WHADCO, despite the heavy rain. Vlastimil Cetl was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jim Hummel and Rodolfo Anido. Fans of both teams had been eagerly awaiting this Bogotá derby and were doing their best to outshout their opponents. WHADCO tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. Starters: Ionescu - Tezsan, Rampinelli, Matamoros, Moore - Barszcz, De Gregori, Baytürk, Obregón - Mongüa, Gómez.

PCR had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Justiceiro - Flinkling, Beeckman, Tobón - Portillo, Mimm, Ruiz, Heil, Guillemant - Ravagnin, Estupiñán.

Today, WHADCO's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. The wings were the focus of most of PCR's attacks today. 5 minutes into the game, R. Mimm almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. The corner kick from S. Tobón was powerfully met by the head of A. Ruiz to make the score 0 - 1. 12 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 2 as S. Ravagnin finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. The rain made it hard for players like C. Matamoros to show their technical control of the ball on this soggy day. PCR's S. Ravagnin got himself booked for a foul. With 19 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed A. Flinkling of PCR to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 3. After this, you could see that the players of PCR were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. The home side worked hard to get through the middle and as a result, had a good chance of getting one back as A. Barszcz tried lifting the ball over keeper D. Justiceiro. Unfortunately, the ball went just over the bar. 27 minutes into the game, PCR were awarded a penalty and S. Tobón was able to increase the visitors' lead to 0 - 4 rolling the ball in by the right post. A scuffle developed as players from both sides clashed following a tussle in the centre of the field 31 minutes into the match. After regaining order and consulting his linesman, the referee called PCR's E. Beeckman to one side and produced a red card for the player. It was 0 - 4 at the break. PCR had most of the ball, with 62 percent of possession.

A. Guillemant wanted to play on, but the PCR coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 46 minutes into the game by B. Ercüment. An amazing free kick flew past the home keeper 47 minutes into the match, putting PCR ahead 0 - 5. S. Tobón was the scorer. After 53 minutes, WHADCO switched W. Obregón with M. Perregaux, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. PCR had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. The home crowd was not impressed when R. Estupiñán came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 65 minutes. PCR were now up 0 - 6. With 83 minutes played, PCR put themselves up 0 - 7 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was S. Tobón. At that, S. Tobón was noted down for a hat trick! PCR's B. Ercüment made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 86 minutes into the match. After rounding the keeper, he only had to place the ball in the unguarded goal when a defender slid in and cleared the ball off the line. PCR enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 66 percent of possession.

WHADCO's best player was D. Gómez. M. Perregaux on the other hand, had a terrible day. R. Estupiñán performed admirably for PCR. B. Ercüment turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 7.
