Matihuaca
Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Nisio Canta started the match with the kick off. Vimaro Motrico's late challenge caught a Ripayoc's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Vimaro Motrico helped the player get up and apologised. If Nisio Canta had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 5th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 12th minute Vimaro Motrico shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Karmel Pino saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Nisio Canta struck a weak shot in the 18th minute. Karmel Pino didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for ALESSA FC. After 20 played minutes Ripayoc got a freekick which was hit by Justino Nanclares. In a very dangerous position, a player in Ripayoc fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 20th minute. Penalty! Justino Nanclares hit a great freekick 27 minutes into the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 28th minute, Vimaro Motrico managed to get in a good position for a shot. ALESSA FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Vimaro Motrico was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Karmel Pino breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Nisio Canta might have been able to make a better finish in the 33rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Karmel Pino. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Nisio Canta ran back to his position shaking his head. Vimaro Motrico recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 43rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Xicu Guais was the one to do the kick off. Karmel Pino took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Nisio Canta, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After some careless play in the Ripayoc defense, Nisio Canta kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Karmel Pino. The Ripayoc fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Karmel Pino should have stopped the shot. After some fancy dribbling in the 65th minute, Vimaro Motrico managed to get in a good position for a shot. ALESSA FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Vimaro Motrico was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Karmel Pino breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 69 minutes into the game, ALESSA FC's Nisio Canta nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Karmel Pino made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 4-0. In the 80th match minute, Ripayoc was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Jose Silvestre to maneuver through the defense. ALESSA FC's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Galtero Panadero in the 84th minute. A very nice done corner allowed Nisio Canta to score against Karmel Pino in Ripayoc's goal. 6-0 after 84 minutes. ALESSA FC's Urbano Mella proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 88th minute of the match, managed to save ALESSA FC from getting a goal against them. In the 97th minute, Justino Nanclares hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. ALESSA FC fully deserved thier win.
