Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Daniel Raphael made the kick off which started today's match. Ignacio Aztore hit a great freekick 5 minutes into the match. If Ignacio Aztore had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 16th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ingmar Metzner kicked well hit freekick during the 19th minute of the match. Nicolae Mara took the ball and in the 22 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Hilmi Ülgener. Hilmi Ülgener dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-2. Daniel Raphael received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 26th minute. Alvaro Ralondo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Ignacio Aztore fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 29th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Alvaro Ralondo having to interfere. When Daniel Raphael came up free with the goalie in the 31st minute, the Delphos United 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 Daniel Raphael couldn't finish the play. Alvaro Ralondo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Daniel Raphael, who was totally free with the ball in the 33rd minute. If Tiger Power had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Daniel Raphael received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 40th minute. Alvaro Ralondo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Daniel Raphael sent away a hard shot on goal in the 51st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. After 53 minutes of play, Delphos United FC's Miguel Luar made it 1-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Alvaro Ralondo was left in no man's land by his defense there!
