Torcuato Ferreyra
Spectators: 145 (Terracing: 110, Seating: 33, VIP seats: 2) Sede Oficial's Ildefonso Valiente 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. If Evelio Kaxen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Los Tiburones Sorobarri C's Baldomero Flores played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ildefonso Valiente in the 13th minute of play. Baldomero Flores made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Godofredo Gervaso in the 15th minute of play. 17 minutes into the match, Sede Oficial's goal looked a bit too open when Evelio Kaxen came free, but Honorato Nerio reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After having played for 19 minutes, Evelio Kaxen managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Los Tiburones Sorobarri C's supporters crossed their fingers, but Evelio Kaxen was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Godofredo Gervaso struck a weak shot in the 22nd minute. Baldomero Flores didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Sede Oficial. Marco Bilbo charged in rather forcefully in the 30th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Marco Bilbo the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Marco Bilbo hit a great freekick 30 minutes into the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Godofredo Gervaso in the 33rd minute of play forced Los Tiburones Sorobarri C's goalkeeper Baldomero Flores to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Evelio Kaxen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Arnulfo Estebe kicked well hit freekick during the 43rd minute of the match. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Evelio Kaxen in the 46th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Honorato Nerio saved Sede Oficial from getting behind. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 0-0 after a close first half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Evelio Kaxen made a kick off. Sede Oficial's Honorato Nerio played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Evelio Kaxen in the 51st minute of play. When Angel Ovando fell near the penalty area in the 65th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Los Tiburones Sorobarri C's protests and gave Angel Ovando a yellow card for diving instead. In the 71st minute, Evelio Kaxen got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. 74 minutes into the match, Sede Oficial's goal looked a bit too open when Evelio Kaxen came free, but Honorato Nerio reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Angel Ovando sent away a hard shot on goal in the 81st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Sede Oficial's Ciro Gomesano was substituted for Ildefonso Valiente. Honorato Nerio took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Evelio Kaxen, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Marco Bilbo was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 88 minutes had been played. In the 88th minute, Marco Bilbo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 92 minutes into the match, Ciro Gomesano notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Los Tiburones Sorobarri C's Baldomero Flores. Baldomero Flores was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 96 minutes into the match, Los Tiburones Sorobarri C's goalkeeper Baldomero Flores had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Ciro Gomesano. When the final whistle went the supporters of Sede Oficial were delighted that their team had defeated the much more dominant Los Tiburones Sorobarri C side.
