MONUMENTAL
Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) After 2 played minutes Denmark got a freekick which was hit by Chris Nygaard. Keld Paulsen made an important save on a dangerous shot by Julio Clodio in the 4th minute. Keld Paulsen stood somewhat misplaced when Jimeno Francis came free in front of goal and shot 1-0 to the left of him in the 7 minute. In the 19th minute Erubiel Gonzalez shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Keld Paulsen saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Danilo Florian showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Bertram Svenningsen in the 22nd minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Erubiel Gonzalez in the 26th minute of play forced Denmark's goalkeeper Keld Paulsen to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 28th minute Jimeno Francis shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Keld Paulsen saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Julio Clodio fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 29th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Keld Paulsen having to interfere. When the match had gone on for 30 minutes, Jimeno Francis took a quick shot and it went in 2-0 without a chance for Keld Paulsen to make any attempt to save it. Denmark's Simon Bendtsen quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Eliav Grozner, made in the 33rd minute of the game. After 38 played minutes, Ángel Albirrojo's Celso Ayala shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Keld Paulsen came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Ángel Albirrojo reached it. Celso Ayala's long shot made the audience stand up and applaude when it rumbled by Keld Paulsen on his right side and into the goal. 38 minutes into the game it was 3-0. Mathias Ludvigsen kicked well hit freekick during the 43rd minute of the match. Ángel Albirrojo's Celso Ayala couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 44th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Denmark. 47 minutes into the match, Denmark's goal looked a bit too open when Jimeno Francis came free, but Keld Paulsen reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 3-0 at half-time.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Jimeno Francis made a kick off. 51 minutes into the match, Ángel Albirrojo's Amador Joanes sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Keld Paulsen narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Amador Joanes sent away a hard shot on goal in the 54th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 60 played minutes Denmark got a freekick which was hit by Simon Bendtsen. After having played for 68 minutes, Jimeno Francis managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ángel Albirrojo's supporters crossed their fingers, but Jimeno Francis was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Kenn Skou kicked well hit freekick during the 77th minute of the match. Ángel Albirrojo's Jimeno Francis got a good chance for a goal in the 79th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Mikkel Wulff kicked well hit freekick during the 82nd minute of the match. Danilo Florian made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Bertram Svenningsen in the 86th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Denmark's Mikkel Wulff got a free kick in the 86th minute. Denmark's Keld Paulsen played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Jimeno Francis in the 91st minute of play. 92 minutes had been played when some careless play by Denmark's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Celso Ayala was slow to take the kick. During this time Ángel Albirrojo's players had a chance to rest. Kenn Skou 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 Keld Paulsen, a very annoying self made goal in the 93rd minute which led to 4-0. The crowd rose to their feet and cheered when the referee blew the final whistle. Ángel Albirrojo had won after a very even match.
