Taba Opera Stadium
Spectators: 175 (Terracing: 132, Seating: 40, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Marciano Asmussen started the match with the kick off. After 4 minutes ☣ⓇⓄⒸⓀⒺⓉ   -⃝ⓅⓄⓌⒺⓇ☣'s defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Yerko Van Dijk who took care of the corner kick. After a rather tough play, Tabalongo AFC's Reynaldo Raitin got a free kick in the 12th minute. When Rodolfo Parrini came up free with the goalie in the 13th minute, the ☣ⓇⓄⒸⓀⒺⓉ   -⃝ⓅⓄⓌⒺⓇ☣ fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Rodolfo Parrini couldn't finish the play. After some careless play in the Tabalongo AFC defense, Ubarna Marcos kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Keanu Reeves. The Tabalongo AFC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Keanu Reeves should have stopped the shot. In the 19th minute Ubarna Marcos shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Keanu Reeves saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Thanks to some nice moves Marciano Asmussen could shoot a difficult shot in the 25th minute, which Eustaquio Mitxel however easily saved by the left post. Eustaquio Mitxel took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Di Lin Xiong, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. A collision led to ☣ⓇⓄⒸⓀⒺⓉ   -⃝ⓅⓄⓌⒺⓇ☣ getting a freekick after 28 minutes play. Gerard Nogueira hit a great ball. Ubarna Marcos received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 30th minute. Keanu Reeves tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. With a little luck, ☣ⓇⓄⒸⓀⒺⓉ   -⃝ⓅⓄⓌⒺⓇ☣'s Eustaquio Mitxel got control of the ball when Marciano Asmussen tried to sneak it across the goal line. Keanu Reeves showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Roger Lantadilla, who was totally free with the ball in the 36th minute. If Max Vinkens had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 41st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Gabriel Olivar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 43rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

After 64 minutes, Filip Frankowski made it 2-2 with a short kick to the right side. ☣ⓇⓄⒸⓀⒺⓉ   -⃝ⓅⓄⓌⒺⓇ☣'s Eustaquio Mitxel tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. ☣ⓇⓄⒸⓀⒺⓉ   -⃝ⓅⓄⓌⒺⓇ☣'s Beso Negro was substituted for Resulhan İsmihan. ☣ⓇⓄⒸⓀⒺⓉ   -⃝ⓅⓄⓌⒺⓇ☣'s Rodrigo Barrera was substituted for Roger Lantadilla. After 70 minutes of play, ☣ⓇⓄⒸⓀⒺⓉ   -⃝ⓅⓄⓌⒺⓇ☣'s Cristopher Damian made it 2-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Keanu Reeves was left in no man's land by his defense there! Constancio Jaque fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 73rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Eustaquio Mitxel having to interfere. ☣ⓇⓄⒸⓀⒺⓉ   -⃝ⓅⓄⓌⒺⓇ☣'s Eustaquio Mitxel played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Filip Frankowski in the 77th minute of play. In the 82nd minute the ball was on its way in behind ☣ⓇⓄⒸⓀⒺⓉ   -⃝ⓅⓄⓌⒺⓇ☣'s goalkeeper Eustaquio Mitxel, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Eustaquio Mitxel made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Filip Frankowski in the 87th minute of play. ☣ⓇⓄⒸⓀⒺⓉ   -⃝ⓅⓄⓌⒺⓇ☣'s Eustaquio Mitxel played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Filip Frankowski in the 88th minute of play.

They had held their defensive line well and made the most of their chances, to claim a victory over Tabalongo AFC's much stronger midfield.
