Patrick Coltorti, one of the legends in the world of international refs, takes control of today's match. Hopefully the Schweiz born P.E. teacher, who belongs to the Sankt Gallen association, will be able to compensate for the linesmen, who have been described in the local press as "complete muppets".
Min.5, Breixo Villaquiran sends a lovely pass to the feet of Roque Sobron who races through the defence going 1-on-1 with the keeper.... beautiful goal! The referee's disallowed it; the linesman's flag was up. I don't think he got that one right, and the players agree. Roque Sobron has lost his temper and wants to go have words with the assistant. He's having to be restrained by his team mates. You can understand his frustration.
Min.9, the best move of the match of Santos FC. A classy 1-2 between Walerian Detka and Eurico Sequeira on the left side. The ball was then played back to Fabián Bonet who let the ball run and Roque Sobron hit it well enough, but Jacques Benito flew at that one to keep it out. What a great move!
Min.18, Valentyn Kyrlyk of Fussballclub Zürich shoots but hits the bar. He's got a crack at the rebound all alone in front of Silvan Ritter... how did he miss that?! Unbelievable.
Min.23, high kick of Fussballclub Zürich after a wonderful forward pass through the defense by Antón Villayuste to Voldemar Kostomarov couldn't finish off that great move by Fussballclub Zürich. Voldemar Kostomarov protested about the shirt pulling he was the victim of.
The ref is taking no bull today and Voldemar Kostomarov is booked for complaining.
Min.39, Goal!!!, Eurico Sequeira went past David Tunc and crossed the ball to the edge of the box. Where Roque Sobron was waiting and volleyed it in off the bar... what a finish that was, well worth watching match of the day for! The score is now 0-1.
Min.44, how rubbish of Voldemar Kostomarov. Reto Schaer put the ball on a plate for him and instead of hitting it with his right foot it cannoned of his left shin wide of the goal. Hmmm, why is he playing in this team?
Min.45, the refs blown up for half time before the allocated injury time has been played and now he's sprinting off down the tunnel, guess he's been caught short. The current score is 0-1.

Min.54, Valentyn Kyrlyk has got some magic feet and shows us all his trickery to get into a great position in the box, unfortunately for him, he's a complete donkey and tripped over his twinkle toes and face planted the ball, which proceeds to roll out harmlessly for a goal kick.
Min.61, Reto Schaer loses the ball to Oliver Siegl who takes advantage of the situation and charges down the field in opening up a scoring opportunity. Oh and he's wasted what could have been a real chance there.
