Atletico 1 - 2 Poekieblanca (393296550)

3136 spectators arrived at Stadio Alberto Sordi, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Jose Melgarejo was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jelle-Jan van der Kroft and Valentin Čadek. Atletico decided to use a 5-3-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Mut - Mattis, Mattei, Vaglia, Brasini, Quinto - Sala, Hurić, Scola - Ratka, D'Arrigo.

Poekieblanca tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players took the field: Dees - van Dijke, Wondergem, Pustka - Ravestein, Middelkoop, de Visser, van Tulder, Lepe - Troostwijk, van Aalderen.

After 2 minutes of play, K. Hurić gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. The crowd was silenced 4 minutes into the match as the visiting team's F. Pustka came in from the left, levelling the score to 1 - 1. F. Mut looked great 8 minutes into the match after stopping a shot from the middle of the penalty area from the visitors' M. van Tulder. Atletico's D. Scola got himself booked for a foul. 1 - 1 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to Poekieblanca, who controlled the ball 57 percent of the time.

F. Mut would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. A. Lapetra entered the game for Atletico as the match clock showed 49 minutes. 49 minutes into the game, Y. van Aalderen almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. 54 minutes into the game, F. Pustka had a great chance to put his team ahead, but his kick from the left went wide. Poekieblanca's F. Pustka had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 66 minutes having been played. F. Turrutelo was the replacement. As the captain was no longer on the pitch, A. van Dijke took over the role of being the Poekieblanca captain. K. Hurić behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 83 minutes as he gave the ball away to M. van Tulder. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. M. Wondergem of Poekieblanca seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 1 - 2 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by Y. van Aalderen. Poekieblanca had most of the ball, with 60 percent of possession.

Atletico's top performer was clearly M. Brasini. G. D'Arrigo was a disappointment, however. Poekieblanca's best player was R. Ravestein. On the other hand, M. Wondergem's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 2.
