Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Ricardo Hartz made the kick off which started today's match. When the match clock showed 8 minutes, the score became 0-1 when Ricardo Hartz sped through Polvaredas FC's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Artemio Maura. When Fermin Pelagius came up free with the goalie in the 12th minute, the Conlara FC 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 Fermin Pelagius couldn't finish the play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Fermin Pelagius in the 15th minute of play forced Polvaredas FC's goalkeeper Artemio Maura to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Polvaredas FC's Artemio Maura played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Fermin Pelagius in the 18th minute of play. With a little luck, Conlara FC's Federico Mikolas got control of the ball when Basilio Rito tried to sneak it across the goal line. A collision led to Polvaredas FC getting a freekick after 22 minutes play. Bernabe Arias hit a great ball. Conlara FC's Fermin Pelagius got a good chance for a goal in the 24th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After some fancy dribbling in the 27th minute, Ricardo Hartz managed to get in a good position for a shot. Conlara FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Ricardo Hartz was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Artemio Maura breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Artemio Maura came out of the goal in the 30th minute to try and stop a shot by Conlara FC's Ricardo Hartz. But to his dismay, Ricardo Hartz quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-2. The Polvaredas FC fans' excitement grew in the 34th match minute when Polvaredas FC's Basilio Rito looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 1-2 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. After 39 minutes, Orlando Henric mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Polvaredas FC and the Conlara FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Polvaredas FC's Orlando Henric got a free kick in the 40th minute. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-2 lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Marco Sabino was the one to do the kick off. Ricardo Hartz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 58th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Fermin Pelagius fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 60th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Artemio Maura having to interfere. Basilio Rito struck a weak shot in the 62nd minute. Federico Mikolas didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Polvaredas FC. In the 63rd match minute, Conlara FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Geronimo Maore to maneuver through the defense. In the 65th minute, Mariano Chico hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Teodoro Raymond had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 74th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Federico Mikolas made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Basilio Rito in the 77th minute of play. In the 79th match minute, Conlara FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Artemio Paul to maneuver through the defense. Conlara FC's supporters were very happy and cheered loudly because their team had won after a very close match.
