UNIÓN TARMA
Spectators: 7500 (Terracing: 6150, Seating: 1300, VIP seats: 50) ADT's Sancho Bengochea started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. Xeromo Rabel showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ştefan Pantea, who was totally free with the ball in the 5th minute. ADT's Xeromo Rabel played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Flavio Colon in the 7th minute of play. After some careless play in the ADT defense, Cornelio Omero kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Xeromo Rabel. The ADT fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Xeromo Rabel should have stopped the shot. Cornelio Omero received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 12th minute. Xeromo Rabel tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Sancho Bengochea might have been able to make a better finish in the 15th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Orestis Mantzios. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Sancho Bengochea ran back to his position shaking his head. After some fancy dribbling in the 16th minute, Flavio Colon managed to get in a good position for a shot. EBK's supporters rose to their feet, but Flavio Colon was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Xeromo Rabel breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 17 minutes of play, EBK's Ştefan Pantea made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Xeromo Rabel was left in no man's land by his defense there! Xeromo Rabel showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ştefan Pantea in the 22nd minute of the match. 31 minutes into the game, EBK's Ştefan Pantea nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Xeromo Rabel made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-4. In the 37th minute, Oinatz Monesterio hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 41 minutes ADT's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Cornelio Omero who took care of the corner kick. Orestis Mantzios made an important save on a dangerous shot by Victorino Logares in the 44th minute. Sancho Bengochea made a great header on ADT's corner, it was just that EBK's Orestis Mantzios managed to reach the ball for a save. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-4.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Flavio Colon was the one to do the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Flavio Colon in the 52nd minute of play forced ADT's goalkeeper Xeromo Rabel to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 0-5 became the score in the 56th minute when Cornelio Omero elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. Flavio Colon's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Xeromo Rabel read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 58th minute of play. When the match had gone on for 62 minutes, Cornelio Omero took a quick shot and it went in 0-7 without a chance for Xeromo Rabel to make any attempt to save it. Flavio Colon might have been able to make a better finish in the 65th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Xeromo Rabel. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Flavio Colon ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 67th minute, Ştefan Pantea hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Ştefan Pantea had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 71st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Cornelio Omero struck a weak shot in the 76th minute. Xeromo Rabel didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for EBK. 82 minutes into the match, ADT's goal looked a bit too open when Flavio Colon came free, but Xeromo Rabel reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The audience thought a goal was coming when Cornelio Omero got free with Xeromo Rabel in the 83rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. When the final whistle sounded EBK left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than ADT.
