Spectators: 154 (Terracing: 116, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Patrick Tepedino kicked off to start the match. In the 2nd match minute, OSTROVA was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Denimir Paunchev to maneuver through the defense. Tostão Barreto's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Velyo Lachkov read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 5th minute of play. Vinícius Sergipano came out of the goal in the 7th minute to try and stop a shot by OSTROVA's Iliyan Imov. But to his dismay, Iliyan Imov quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-0. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Patrick Tepedino in the 12th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Velyo Lachkov prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Itaberaba's Evaristo Dracena was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Velyo Lachkov in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. Patrick Tepedino scored 1-1 in the 18th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Velyo Lachkov, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. If Tostão Barreto had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Tostão Barreto took the ball and in the 31 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Velyo Lachkov. Velyo Lachkov dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-2. In the 33rd match minute, Itaberaba was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Noel Costa to maneuver through the defense. Vinícius Sergipano made an important save on a dangerous shot by Marin Petrishki in the 37th minute. Iliyan Imov's late challenge caught a Itaberaba's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Iliyan Imov helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to OSTROVA getting a freekick after 38 minutes play. Iliyan Imov hit a great ball. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Tostão Barreto in the 42nd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Velyo Lachkov saved OSTROVA from getting behind. The audience thought a goal was coming when Donyo Ushagelov got free with Vinícius Sergipano in the 45th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Marin Petrishki to make the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Marin Petrishki in the 51st minute of play forced Itaberaba's goalkeeper Vinícius Sergipano to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Gabriel Vieira was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 56 minutes into the match. After 55 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Itaberaba! Marin Petrishki shot the penalty kick by force right in the crossbar. No goal. Tostão Barreto recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 58th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. OSTROVA's Velyo Lachkov played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Tostão Barreto in the 62nd minute of play. Mirolyub Altúnkov hit a great freekick 63 minutes into the match. When Adalbert Opúlchenski fell near the penalty area in the 72nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored OSTROVA's protests and gave Adalbert Opúlchenski a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, OSTROVA's Adalbert Opúlchenski got a free kick in the 73rd minute. Ediberto Abraão struck a weak shot in the 75th minute. Velyo Lachkov didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Itaberaba. Vinícius Sergipano took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Iliyan Imov, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The audience was convinced that Iliyan Imov's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Vinícius Sergipano was relentless in the 81st minute of the game. Noel Costa might have been able to make a better finish in the 88th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Velyo Lachkov. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Noel Costa ran back to his position shaking his head. 90 minutes into the match, Iliyan Imov notched a goal, 2-2, to the right of Itaberaba's Vinícius Sergipano. Vinícius Sergipano was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 93rd minute Ediberto Abraão shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Velyo Lachkov saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. OSTROVA's Velyo Lachkov played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Tostão Barreto in the 97th minute of play. Jeers came from both ends of the stadium when the final whistle went. Neither team had looked impressive and the draw seeemd a fair result.
