02-05-2009 14:10socceroos decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Alcazaba - Ezpeleta, Pompei, Corneanu - Illescas, Moreau, Fois, Olofsson, Johansson - Marcu, Pfaffenzeller.
The strategy for socceroos on this day was to use their ability to press. The most controversial moment of the game was likely the penalty given after 8 minutes. socceroos's Constantin Marcu kept his concentration, despite the upset crowd, and calmly put the ball past the keeper to score the 0 - 1 goal for the visitors. socceroos's talent at pressing frustrated their opponents. After 22 minutes, socceroos were awarded a free kick. Rather than shooting straight at goal, the kicker went for an indirect variant which seemed to take the team mates a bit by surprise. Artur Pfaffenzeller did manage a finish, but from an awkward position, sending the ball out of bounds. It was 0 - 1 at the break. Atlético enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of possession.
The home crowd was not impressed when Constantin Marcu came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 48 minutes. socceroos were now up 0 - 2. After a short break in the 48 minute, socceroos seemed to change their tactical approach a bit. The pressing tactics used by socceroos were successful at containing their opponents. 64 minutes in, socceroos's Daniel Illescas received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Content with how the game was proceeding, the socceroos coach let Albert Marín Vallereplace José Ezpeleta after 65 minutes. The intense heat forced Alberto Palma into making some errors because he couldn't seem to keep up with the others. socceroos's Artur Pfaffenzeller wanted to play on, but 75 minutes into the game the decision was made to substitute him for Kalle-Matti Kotinurmi. A misunderstanding between the visitors' keeperSaúl Alcazaba and his left defence could have resulted in a goal for Atlético, but Alberto Palma's finish was way too lame. The home side worked hard to get through the middle and as a result, had a good chance of getting one back as Raúl Rodrigo tried lifting the ball over keeper Saúl Alcazaba. Unfortunately, the ball went just over the bar. Constantin Marcu of socceroos received a yellow card after 82 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour.Valterio Fervenza got a fingertip on Mats Johansson's shot from the left 84 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. Atlético enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 59 percent of possession.
Atlético's top performer was clearly Valterio Fervenza. Alberto Palma turned in a dismal performance, however. socceroos's top performer was clearly Nicolas Moreau. However,Albert Marín Valle made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 2.
