Spectators: 7593 (Terracing: 5696, Seating: 1746, VIP seats: 151) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Cornelio Ongile made the kick off which started today's match. Flavio Bento made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Manuel Conrao in the 11th minute of play. A collision led to Zurdo FC getting a freekick after 17 minutes play. Mauro Moscardi hit a great ball. 24 minutes into the match, La Cosa Nostra's Rodrigo Cordareo sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Jozef Wandzik narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 33rd minute Cornelio Ongile shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Flavio Bento saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 35 minutes, Andres Corderall mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Zurdo FC and the La Cosa Nostra players grew even worse after the yellow card. Everardo Regis could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 39th minute of the match, but Jozef Wandzik made a huge save. After a defensive mix-up in Zurdo FC's zone, Everardo Regis stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Jozef Wandzik came out of the goal and Everardo Regis tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The La Cosa Nostra players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Zurdo FC were winning 0-1.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Everardo Regis made a kick off. Zurdo FC's Manuel Conrao was standing unmarked in front of the goal when he, in the 52nd play minute, got the ball and easily drilled it into the goal. In the 55th minute, Gervasio Mundo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Everardo Regis came up free with the goalie in the 59th minute, the La Cosa Nostra 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 Everardo Regis couldn't finish the play. Rodrigo Cordareo struck a weak shot in the 61st minute. Jozef Wandzik didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for La Cosa Nostra. Mauro Moscardi got his second yellow card in the match during the 64th minute which meant that he had to leave the ground. After a rather tough play, Zurdo FC's Mauro Moscardi got a free kick in the 65th minute. In the 70th minute, Gualterio Guzman had to leave the field with a concussion. 70 minutes into the game, Everardo Regis was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. La Cosa Nostra's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Zurdo FC the free kick. Zurdo FC's Ulises Hurko was substituted for Gualterio Guzman. 78 minutes into the game, Everardo Regis cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-2. Jozef Wandzik was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Nestor Tadzio during the 83rd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After a rather tough play, Zurdo FC's Nestor Tadzio got a free kick in the 83rd minute. After 87 played minutes La Cosa Nostra got a freekick which was hit by Rodrigo Cordareo. In the 91st minute, Rodrigo Cordareo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The supporters of La Cosa Nostra booed when Zurdo FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 92 match minutes in a wonderful position. Nestor Tadzio didn't get a good kick on the ball.
