The Last Try
Spectators: 7477 (Terracing: 5609, Seating: 1719, VIP seats: 149) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Rafael Napier made the kick off which started today's match. In the 14th minute the ball was on its way in behind El ultimo's goalkeeper Niceto Pere, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Federico Louis charged in rather forcefully in the 21st minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Federico Louis the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Federico Louis kicked well hit freekick during the 21st minute of the match. In the 22nd minute, Gaston Urritz sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and El ultimo's Niceto Pere didn't even have to move. 29 minutes into the game, El ultimo's Rafael Napier nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Serafin Dominguez made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 2-0. After 33 played minutes CF JABATOS got a freekick which was hit by Higinio Ovando. 34 minutes into the match, Elpidio Efraim notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of El ultimo's Niceto Pere. Niceto Pere was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. The audience was convinced that Rafael Napier's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Serafin Dominguez was relentless in the 38th minute of the game. Serafin Dominguez came out of the goal in the 42nd minute to try and stop a shot by El ultimo's Hugo Fidele. But to his dismay, Hugo Fidele quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-1. If Rafael Napier had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 48th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 3-1 at half-time.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Elpidio Efraim made a kick off. Higinio Ovando hit a great freekick 52 minutes into the match. Serafin Dominguez didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Hugo Fidele went, in the 56th minute, to the upper right corner, 4-1 was the resulting score. Serafin Dominguez made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Rafael Napier in the 62nd minute of play. Serafin Dominguez showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Rafael Napier, who was totally free with the ball in the 74th minute. In the 76th play minute Elpidio Efraim came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Niceto Pere. 4-2. 78 minutes into the game, Daniel Enetz was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. CF JABATOS's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave El ultimo the free kick. After a rather tough play, CF JABATOS's Daniel Enetz got a free kick in the 78th minute. CF JABATOS's Serafin Dominguez played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Rafael Napier in the 79th minute of play. After having played for 82 minutes, Higinio Ovando managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. CF JABATOS's supporters crossed their fingers, but Higinio Ovando was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Serafin Dominguez stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Rafael Napier's shot from short distance in the 91st minute. CF JABATOS's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
