	1'	TURQUISH MORO SPORTING saw most attack opportunites on the wings and were directing their passes that way
	16'	Antonio Gutiérrez received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly, probably out of lack of experience and almost caused an opponent to score
	23'	TURQUISH MORO SPORTING's Adam Miller gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right
	29'	TURQUISH MORO SPORTING put their lead ahead another goal as Thanos Ballas struck home the 2 - 0 goal, after an attack from the left setting him up unmarked with the keeper
	37'	Jonas C. Josefsson increased TURQUISH MORO SPORTING lead to 3 - 0 by putting a header away on a hooked ball from the right
	38'	The structure of the game started to change as TURQUISH MORO SPORTING decided to pull back and meet their opponents in the defensive zone
	40'	The referee showed GGB's Sylvain Letellier the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge
	41'	GGB kept trying to force their way through on the right side
	42'	Fernando Xamar got his chance, but the home sides left defence held his position and was able to stop the attack
	44'	GGB´s Alejandro Ibañez easily reduced to 3 - 1 after a misunderstanding in the home sides central defense line
	45'	The teams went for a half-time break at 3 - 1. GGB, bringing the final ball possession rate to 51 percent, dominated the battle

 

	46'	Second half
	61'	A well placed corner kick from Alejandro Ibañez was followed by Antonio Gutiérrez´s hard but accurate header. The nice combination meant goal for GGB. The result now 3-2.
	68'	turquishs Dávid Döbrösi got himself booked after a foul.
	73'	A great save by goaltender Chu Ho-mu in the 73rd minute kept the visitors in the game as Vassilis Kapogiannopoulos struck from the left with a real cannonball.
	90'	The final whistle decides the winner of the SAN LEUCIO TOURNAMENT first edition after a hard battle under an heavy greek rain. GGB held the ball, with a clear 52 percent possession rate. So congratulations to TURQUISH MORO SPORTING, which is the first winner of this tournament and surely this team deserved this victory, but also congratulations to GGB's players that fight until the final whistle to reach the draw.
