Hrasel Arena
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Tadeu Abeijon made the kick off which started today's match. Tadeu Abeijon received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 3rd minute. John Abastas tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Harsel FC's John Abastas played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Tadeu Abeijon in the 8th minute of play. John Abastas showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Tadeu Abeijon, who was totally free with the ball in the 12th minute. If Cilio Abenda had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Tadeu Abeijon fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 24th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without John Abastas having to interfere. Lorien Abeijon showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Xavian Abad, who was totally free with the ball in the 27th minute. A collision led to Piedritas getting a freekick after 27 minutes play. Onbera Abadia hit a great ball. Cilio Abenda sent away a hard shot on goal in the 32nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Tadeu Abeijon might have been able to make a better finish in the 36th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over John Abastas. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Tadeu Abeijon ran back to his position shaking his head. The crowd rose to their feet as Harsel FC's Xavian Abad slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Lorien Abeijon. That made the score 1-1 after 40 minutes of play. In the 47th minute, Xavian Abad fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

After a defensive mix-up in Piedritas's zone, Urti Abalos stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Lorien Abeijon came out of the goal and Urti Abalos tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Cilio Abenda received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 61st minute. John Abastas tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 65 minutes into the match, Xavian Abad had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Lorien Abeijon. Piedritas's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Xavian Abad was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-1. After 68 played minutes Harsel FC got a freekick which was hit by Ladislao Abendano. Xavian Abad sent away a hard shot on goal in the 71st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 80th minute, Onbera Abadia got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 84th minute the ball was on its way in behind Harsel FC's goalkeeper John Abastas, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Cilio Abenda fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 88th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without John Abastas having to interfere. Harsel FC's defense didn't have a chance, in the 90th minute, when Tadeu Abeijon scored to the left of an out of position John Abastas, making the score, 2-2. When Tadeu Abeijon came up free with the goalie in the 96th minute, the Piedritas 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 Tadeu Abeijon couldn't finish the play. Despite being the better team, Piedritas failed to find the winning goal and were forced to settle for a single point.
