Estadio Anastasia
Spectators: 6701 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1701, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Enrico Varlett got the match started through his kick off. 3 minutes into the match, Anastasia AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Dantae Bañuelos came free, but Isadore Iturburu reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 6th minute of the match, Mauro Villadiego got a very nice opportunity to score, but Arotza Clavell was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. The audience was convinced that Maria Arbizu's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Arotza Clavell was relentless in the 11th minute of the game. Mauro Villadiego came free with the goalkeeper in the 13th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Arotza Clavell could save by the left post. Mauro Villadiego recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 15th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Simon Secadura charged in rather forcefully in the 16th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Simon Secadura the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Javier Lance recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 17th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 21st minute Javier Lance shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Isadore Iturburu saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Enrico Varlett had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 23rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 27 minutes into the game, Larrosa's Enrico Varlett nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Isadore Iturburu made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1. Maria Arbizu's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Arotza Clavell read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 38th minute of play. Mauro Villadiego recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 42nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Maria Arbizu was the one to do the kick off. After having played for 59 minutes, Maria Arbizu managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Anastasia AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Maria Arbizu was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. When Guillelmus Guipuzcoa came up free with the goalie in the 66th minute, the Anastasia AFC 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 Guillelmus Guipuzcoa couldn't finish the play. Dantae Bañuelos's late challenge caught a Anastasia AFC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Dantae Bañuelos helped the player get up and apologised. Isadore Iturburu was a little too slow when Enrico Varlett got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 73rd minute. The score was now 0-2. A collision led to Larrosa getting a freekick after 77 minutes play. Paulin Tejadillo hit a great ball. Arotza Clavell took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Mauro Villadiego, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Javier Lance had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 85th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Larrosa's Transito Gos got a good chance for a goal in the 87th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Isadore Iturburu showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Enrico Varlett, who was totally free with the ball in the 89th minute. The supporters of Larrosa booed when Anastasia AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 95 match minutes in a wonderful position. Sugoi Ordoñez didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 98th minute of the match Larrosa got a corner. Anastasia AFC's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Marcial Hernando ran over to the corner to take the kick. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Larrosa eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
