ARENA CARIOCA
Spectators: 150 (Terracing: 113, Seating: 34, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Polo Quinteros started the match with the kick off. In the 4th minute the ball was on its way in behind Santa Lucia de Merlo's goalkeeper Florentino Herauso, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Loramendi Cabarcos made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ermegildo Salamon in the 5th minute of play. After some careless play in the E.C. RIO DE JANEIRO defense, Polo Quinteros kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Loramendi Cabarcos. The E.C. RIO DE JANEIRO fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Loramendi Cabarcos should have stopped the shot. Polo Quinteros scored 0-2 in the 16th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Loramendi Cabarcos, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After 19 minutes of play, Santa Lucia de Merlo's Polo Quinteros made it 0-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Loramendi Cabarcos was left in no man's land by his defense there! Polo Quinteros scored 0-4 in the 28th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Loramendi Cabarcos, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

Loramendi Cabarcos made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-5. Santa Lucia de Merlo's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Arnaldo Chano in the 36th minute. After having played for 39 minutes, Polo Quinteros managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Santa Lucia de Merlo's supporters crossed their fingers, but Polo Quinteros was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. If Polo Quinteros had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 40th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. When Santa Lucia de Merlo's Polo Quinteros in the 42nd minute got a chance for a shot 42nd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye E.C. RIO DE JANEIRO's goalie prevented a goal. Polo Quinteros might have been able to make a better finish in the 44th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Loramendi Cabarcos. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Polo Quinteros ran back to his position shaking his head. Loramendi Cabarcos took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Polo Quinteros, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Anísio Queirós was the one to do the kick off. M. Agus Young did some fancy footwork in front of goal and succeeded to deceive the defenders so he could slam the ball in 0-6 to the left of a surprised Loramendi Cabarcos 55 minutes into the match. 67 minutes into the game, Nils Myhr threw the ball into play from the sideline. E.C. RIO DE JANEIRO's Elazar Larraín quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. In the 68th minute of the game Sergio Berdaitz made a throw-in which Hernan Louis played forward. With a little luck, E.C. RIO DE JANEIRO's Loramendi Cabarcos got control of the ball when Doctor Paredes tried to sneak it across the goal line. E.C. RIO DE JANEIRO's Augusto Lucas managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Alvaro Llorienzo in the 74 minute of the game. Alvaro Llorienzo made in the 79th minute of the game a fairly good throw-in which was taken care of by Carlos Cubero. E.C. RIO DE JANEIRO made a substitution. Jimeno Gilen replaced Lion Messi. 91 minutes into the match, M. Agus Young had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Loramendi Cabarcos. E.C. RIO DE JANEIRO's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that M. Agus Young was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-8. M. Agus Young scored 0-9 in the 95th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Loramendi Cabarcos, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Santa Lucia de Merlo played a much better game than E.C. RIO DE JANEIRO and deserved their victory. The E.C. RIO DE JANEIRO players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
