El Corral
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Alejo Carlomagno started the match with the kick off. 7 minutes into the match, Los Gallos's goal looked a bit too open when Blas Brun came free, but Joel Umea reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 16 minutes into the match, Isótopos V.M.'s goalkeeper Juan Furtado had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Silverio Bertran. Juan Furtado was a little too slow when Aquiles Ermano got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 18th minute. The score was now 1-0. Isótopos V.M.'s Juan Furtado played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Alejo Carlomagno in the 33rd minute of play. When Raul Montrell came up free with the goalie in the 36th minute, the Isótopos V.M. 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 Raul Montrell couldn't finish the play. After a rather tough play, Isótopos V.M.'s Cristian Lema got a free kick in the 41st minute. Juan Furtado didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Alejo Carlomagno went, in the 43rd minute, to the upper right corner, 3-0 was the resulting score.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Blas Brun was the one to do the kick off. Silverio Bertran sent away a hard shot on goal in the 52nd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 54th minute, Elpidio Raebert managed to get in a good position for a shot. Los Gallos's supporters rose to their feet, but Elpidio Raebert was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Juan Furtado breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Los Gallos's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Silverio Bertran in the 65th minute. Guillermo Charro thought of kicking away a contribution in front of goal but messed it up so badly that the ball went to the right of an astonished Juan Furtado, a very annoying self made goal in the 66th minute which led to 5-0. Joel Umea took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Miguel Merentiel, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Miguel Merentiel came free with the goalkeeper in the 83rd minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Joel Umea could save by the left post. Silverio Bertran sent away a hard shot on goal in the 85th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Silvano Alvarez's late challenge caught a Los Gallos's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Silvano Alvarez helped the player get up and apologised. In the 86th match minute, Isótopos V.M. was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Silvano Alvarez to maneuver through the defense. Alejo Carlomagno hit a great freekick 89 minutes into the match. In the 91st minute the ball was on its way in behind Los Gallos's goalkeeper Joel Umea, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 92 minutes into the game, Elpidio Raebert was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Los Gallos's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Isótopos V.M. the free kick. After recieving a nice pass, Isótopos V.M.'s Silverio Estefan tried to score from far away in the 93rd minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. 95 minutes into the game, Luis Quirce recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Joel Umea. Luis Quirce showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 5-1. Los Gallos's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
