Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Belo Alvarez got the match started through his kick off. PoWer SC 2K5's defense didn't have a chance, in the 11th minute, when Erlantz Bermejo scored to the left of an out of position David Rotariu, making the score, 1-0. David Rotariu stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Erlantz Bermejo's shot from short distance in the 15th minute. 21 minutes into the match, Erlantz Bermejo notched a goal, 2-0, to the right of PoWer SC 2K5's David Rotariu. David Rotariu was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After some fancy dribbling in the 27th minute, Erlantz Bermejo managed to get in a good position for a shot. A.D. Alcorcón's supporters rose to their feet, but Erlantz Bermejo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. David Rotariu breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. David Rotariu made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Erlantz Bermejo in the 29th minute of play. 32 minutes had been played when some careless play by A.D. Alcorcón's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Matthew Wagner was slow to take the kick. During this time PoWer SC 2K5's players had a chance to rest. Delmar Mayor thought of kicking away a contribution in front of goal but messed it up so badly that the ball went to the right of an astonished Maurino Serena, a very annoying self made goal in the 32nd minute which led to 2-1. In the 34th minute Erlantz Bermejo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but David Rotariu saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 38 minutes into the match, Erlantz Bermejo had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of David Rotariu. PoWer SC 2K5's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Erlantz Bermejo was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-1. A.D. Alcorcón's Maurino Serena played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Patrick Middendorf in the 41st minute of play. After 43 played minutes A.D. Alcorcón got a freekick which was hit by Natxo Cacheres. In the 44th minute of the match Matthew Wagner shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Maurino Serena showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. 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 3-1.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Zvonimir Prestin stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Esteban Vadillos kicked well hit freekick during the 52nd minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Belo Alvarez in the 56th minute of play forced PoWer SC 2K5's goalkeeper David Rotariu to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Maurino Serena didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Hector Todor went, in the 57th minute, to the upper right corner, 3-2 was the resulting score. A.D. Alcorcón made a substitution. Eusebio Quijana replaced Natxo Cacheres. Zvonimir Prestin could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 61st minute of the match, but Maurino Serena made a huge save. An unexpectedly hard shot by Patrick Middendorf in the 71st minute of play forced A.D. Alcorcón's goalkeeper Maurino Serena to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Zvonimir Prestin in the 73rd minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Maurino Serena prevented the ball from getting in the gole. David Rotariu came out of the goal in the 75th minute to try and stop a shot by A.D. Alcorcón's Erlantz Bermejo. But to his dismay, Erlantz Bermejo quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 4-2. PoWer SC 2K5's Leroy Kluttig was substituted for Zvonimir Prestin. In the 79th minute Leroy Kluttig shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Maurino Serena saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Patrick Middendorf could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 80th minute of the match, but Maurino Serena made a huge save. Emmanuel Otero received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 83rd minute. David Rotariu tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. David Rotariu showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Erlantz Bermejo in the 84th minute of the match. When the match clock showed 89 minutes, the score became 5-2 when Leroy Antunez sped through PoWer SC 2K5's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of David Rotariu. After a rather tough play, A.D. Alcorcón's Emmanuel Otero got a free kick in the 93rd minute. Jonas Klinsmann might have been able to make a better finish in the 95th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Maurino Serena. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Jonas Klinsmann ran back to his position shaking his head. A.D. Alcorcón were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of PoWer SC 2K5 for a fine match.
