Spectators: 7261 (Terracing: 5447, Seating: 1670, VIP seats: 144) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Teodoro Arixo made the kick off which started today's match. Octavius Septimo's Americo Su played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Constantino Shantala in the 7th minute of play. After 10 minutes of play, Once Calvas FC's Aaron Francho made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Americo Su was left in no man's land by his defense there! 17 minutes into the match, Constantino Shantala had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Americo Su. Octavius Septimo's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Constantino Shantala was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. After 20 minutes, Blas Abarca mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Octavius Septimo and the Once Calvas FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. An unexpectedly hard shot by Aaron Francho in the 31st minute of play forced Octavius Septimo's goalkeeper Americo Su to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Aaron Francho 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. After a defensive mix-up in Octavius Septimo's zone, Juan Pero stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Americo Su came out of the goal and Juan Pero tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Constantino Shantala struck a weak shot in the 41st minute. Americo Su didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Once Calvas FC. Disappointed in the 0-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Aaron Francho was the one to do the kick off. The audience thought a goal was coming when Aaron Francho got free with Americo Su in the 52nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Americo Su showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Constantino Shantala in the 53rd minute of the match. In the 55th minute, Aaron Francho made a precise shot to the right of Americo Su. Octavius Septimo's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-3. Through an outstanding action, after 58 minutes, Americo Su successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. When Blas Abarca was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 59 minutes had been played. After a rather tough play, Octavius Septimo's Blas Abarca got a free kick in the 59th minute. Constantino Shantala's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Americo Su read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 60th minute of play. When Aaron Francho came up free with the goalie in the 62nd minute, the Once Calvas 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 Aaron Francho couldn't finish the play. After some fancy dribbling in the 63rd minute, Constantino Shantala managed to get in a good position for a shot. Once Calvas FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Constantino Shantala was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Americo Su breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 64 minutes, Hernan Nalo mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Octavius Septimo and the Once Calvas FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Octavius Septimo's Hernan Nalo got a free kick in the 64th minute. Constantino Shantala fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 70th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Americo Su having to interfere. The crowd rose to their feet as Aaron Francho kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Americo Su. That made the score 0-6 in the 74 minute of play. After having played for 81 minutes, Godfredo Silban managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Octavius Septimo's supporters crossed their fingers, but Godfredo Silban was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Americo Su made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Constantino Shantala in the 83rd minute of play. Once Calvas FC played a much better game than Octavius Septimo and deserved their victory. The Octavius Septimo players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
