Friendly League

KYRA STADIUM
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Apolo Lauaxeta kicked off to start the match. The audience thought a goal was coming when Radomil Mroczynski got free with Antonio Roma in the 13th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. When Apolo Lauaxeta came up free with the goalie in the 14th minute, the Saturno 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 Apolo Lauaxeta couldn't finish the play. After a rather tough play, KYRA FC's Kristian Knudsen got a free kick in the 15th minute. With an all-out effort, KYRA FC's Antonio Roma threw himself towards the right post 17 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Radomil Mroczynski, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Gergely Sinka showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Apolo Lauaxeta in the 20th minute of the match. 42 minutes into the game, Orlando Rexino threw the ball into play from the sideline. KYRA FC's Leopoldo Lertxun quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. 43 minutes into the game, Orlando Rexino was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Saturno's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave KYRA FC the free kick. The supporters of KYRA FC booed when Saturno was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 43 match minutes in a wonderful position. Orlando Rexino didn't get a good kick on the ball.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Radomil Mroczynski was the one to do the kick off. Carmelo Jordy was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 55 minutes into the match. After 54 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for KYRA FC! Gergely Sinka had in the 57thth minute some difficulties stopping Apolo Lauaxeta's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball. A collision led to Saturno getting a freekick after 63 minutes play. Emanuel Timo hit a great ball. Orlando Rexino got a throw-in 67 minutes in the game and the ball was received by Emanuel Timo. After 68 played minutes KYRA FC got a freekick which was hit by Sebastian Pena. Gergely Sinka made a fantastic save in the 70th minute, when Apolo Lauaxeta sent off a good shot on target. Igor Kaczeniak charged in rather forcefully in the 78th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Igor Kaczeniak the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Saturno made a substitution. Gert Gronden replaced Emanuel Timo. Igor Kaczeniak sent away a hard shot on goal in the 90th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. With a little luck, KYRA FC's Gergely Sinka got control of the ball when Igor Kaczeniak tried to sneak it across the goal line. Gergely Sinka took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Adolfo Quintana, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When the referee blew the final whistle, you could see the dissatisfaction in the KYRA FC players' eyes. They were disappointed they hadn't taken more from the game.
