Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Ruben Palben made the kick off which started today's match. In the 3rd match minute, Resaquin FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Eleuterio Maureo to maneuver through the defense. After having played for 4 minutes, Aquiles Gaufred managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Mangrullo AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Aquiles Gaufred was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Pedro Normando made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from 贺潮辉 in the 7th minute of play. A nice corner shot did that Agustin Platon got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Pedro Normando quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. In the 10thth minute of the game Salah Min who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Mangrullo AFC's Pedro Normando was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. After 11 played minutes Resaquin FC got a freekick which was hit by 贺潮辉. Ruben Palben struck a weak shot in the 15th minute. Samir Handanovič didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Mangrullo AFC. Resaquin FC's 贺潮辉 got a good chance for a goal in the 20th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Ruben Palben fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 23rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Samir Handanovič having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 27th minute, Ruben Palben managed to get in a good position for a shot.

Samir Handanovič breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Eusebio Jerrald sent away a hard shot on goal in the 30th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. 34 minutes into the match, Salah Min had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Pedro Normando. Mangrullo AFC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Salah Min was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Mangrullo AFC's Pedro Normando played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Salah Min in the 42nd minute of play. Pedro Normando took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Salah Min, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Salah Min was the one to do the kick off. Niguel Balerdi charged in rather forcefully in the 54th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Niguel Balerdi the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Agustin Platon might have been able to make a better finish in the 55th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Pedro Normando. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Agustin Platon ran back to his position shaking his head. Ruben Palben fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 57th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Samir Handanovič having to interfere. Christer Törnqvist sent away a hard shot on goal in the 59th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 61 minutes into the game, one of Resaquin FC:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. 65 minutes into the match, Resaquin FC's 贺潮辉 sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Pedro Normando narrowly saved just below the crossbar. A hard shot 73 in the game by 贺潮辉 from a close distance when the talented Pedro Normando managed to make a qualified save. Mangrullo AFC's players were relieved. 74 minutes into the game, Eleuterio Maureo was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Resaquin FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Mangrullo AFC the free kick. In the 74th minute, Eleuterio Maureo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Sergio Nuxila recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 82nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.
