Spectators: 6628 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1628, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Alfonso Eguzki made the kick off which started today's match. Silvestre Urbasa's late challenge caught a Achupallas's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Silvestre Urbasa helped the player get up and apologised. After 8 minutes, Eloy Restu mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Achupallas and the XENE FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. The supporters of XENE FC booed when Achupallas was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 8 match minutes in a wonderful position. Eloy Restu didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 9 played minutes, XENE FC's Genaro Venerando shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Ubaldo Primo 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 XENE FC reached it. After having played for 11 minutes, Alfredo Tonete managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. XENE FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Alfredo Tonete was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Ubaldo Primo made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Norberto Duarte in the 14th minute of play. 21 minutes into the match, Achupallas's goal looked a bit too open when Angel Gonzalez came free, but Ubaldo Primo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ubaldo Primo didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Alfredo Tonete went, in the 22nd minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. If Joel Rico had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Adriana Maurino was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Humberto Mikelar showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-2 in the 32 minute of play.

Ubaldo Primo was left in no man's land by his defense there!
