Don Armando Elfaso
Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Frank Sachs took the kick off in the first half of the match. The audience thought a goal was coming when Florencio Velasco got free with Tommy Kahn in the 3rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. If Frank Sachs had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 6th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 13 minutes, Amador Tebaldo mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Jamaicafastfoot and the Germany players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 13 played minutes Jamaicafastfoot got a freekick which was hit by Amador Tebaldo. In the 16th match minute, Jamaicafastfoot was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Jairo Ellande to maneuver through the defense. In the 19th minute the ball was on its way in behind Germany's goalkeeper Tommy Kahn, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Amador Tebaldo hit a great freekick 21 minutes into the match. 28 minutes into the match, Florencio Velasco dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Tommy Kahn, 1-0. 40 minutes into the match, Jamaicafastfoot's goal looked a bit too open when Frank Sachs came free, but Mario Iturralde reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 2-0.

The wind increased when Florencio Velasco made the kick off in the second half. After some fancy dribbling in the 51st minute, Florencio Velasco managed to get in a good position for a shot. Jamaicafastfoot's supporters rose to their feet, but Florencio Velasco was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Tommy Kahn breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After having played for 53 minutes, Frank Sachs managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Germany's supporters crossed their fingers, but Frank Sachs was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Malte Schiele kicked well hit freekick during the 56th minute of the match. In the 60th minute, Amadeo Rodas made a precise shot to the right of Tommy Kahn. Germany's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 3-0. After 66 minutes of play, Germany's Frank Sachs made it 3-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Mario Iturralde was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 69th minute Amadeo Rodas shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tommy Kahn saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in Jamaicafastfoot's zone, Frank Sachs stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Mario Iturralde came out of the goal and Frank Sachs tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 81st minute, Amador Tebaldo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Amadeo Rodas's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Tommy Kahn read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 84th minute of play. Mario Iturralde showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Albin Holweck in the 90th minute of the match. Janik Vogt hit a great freekick 91 minutes into the match. Florencio Velasco fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 92nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Tommy Kahn having to interfere. Jamaicafastfoot were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Germany for a fine match.
