Spectators: 8121 (Terracing: 6093, Seating: 1867, VIP seats: 161) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Frasco Arellano made the kick off which started today's match. Defensores de Mar de Ajó's Sebastian Horado proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 3rd minute of the match, managed to save Defensores de Mar de Ajó from getting a goal against them. In the 5th minute of the match, Frasco Arellano got a very nice opportunity to score, but Sebastian Horado was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. Isidro Pagan showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Jonatan Ferran in the 10th minute of the match. Jonatan Ferran's late challenge caught a 1SIEMPRE BLANQUIAZULES's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Jonatan Ferran helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of 1SIEMPRE BLANQUIAZULES booed when Defensores de Mar de Ajó was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 12 match minutes in a wonderful position. Jonatan Ferran didn't get a good kick on the ball. 13 minutes into the match, Ulizes Morante had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Sebastian Horado. Defensores de Mar de Ajó's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ulizes Morante was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. A collision led to Defensores de Mar de Ajó getting a freekick after 21 minutes play. Jairo Sabin hit a great ball. With a little luck, Defensores de Mar de Ajó's Sebastian Horado got control of the ball when Frasco Arellano tried to sneak it across the goal line. 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.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Orlando Montes to make the kick off. Isidro Pagan was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Jonatan Ferran showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 2-1 in the 53 minute of play. Sebastian Horado stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Frasco Arellano's shot from short distance in the 59th minute. In the 60th match minute, Defensores de Mar de Ajó was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Orlando Montes to maneuver through the defense. In the 67th minute, Orlando Montes hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 70th minute Frasco Arellano shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sebastian Horado saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The audience was convinced that Frasco Arellano's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Sebastian Horado was relentless in the 77th minute of the game. Ostadar Segarra received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 79th minute. Sebastian Horado tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Frasco Arellano fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 84th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Sebastian Horado having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 86th minute, Jonatan Ferran managed to get in a good position for a shot. Defensores de Mar de Ajó's supporters rose to their feet, but Jonatan Ferran was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Isidro Pagan breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Sebastian Horado made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Frasco Arellano in the 92nd minute of play. A collision led to 1SIEMPRE BLANQUIAZULES getting a freekick after 94 minutes play. Paulino Alfebra hit a great ball. 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. 1SIEMPRE BLANQUIAZULES fully deserved thier win.
