ALDO PEDRO POY
Spectators: 150 (Terracing: 113, Seating: 34, VIP seats: 3) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Jose-Antonio Urioste took the kick off in the first half of the match. When Jose-Antonio Urioste came up free with the goalie in the 2nd minute, the Caldo de Gallina Ranchero fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Jose-Antonio Urioste couldn't finish the play. Aristides Villanueva fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 4th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Xose Valtierra having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jose-Antonio Urioste in the 10th minute of play forced Canalla Fuego's goalkeeper Clemente Benvido to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Xose Valtierra made an important save on a dangerous shot by Aristides Villanueva in the 12th minute. Jose-Antonio Urioste sent away a hard shot on goal in the 14th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Caldo de Gallina Ranchero's defense didn't have a chance, in the 15th minute, when Ricky Kalischer scored to the left of an out of position Xose Valtierra, making the score, 1-0. In the 18th minute, Ricky Kalischer fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Xose Valtierra, passed just outside the right post.

The nice shot from Aristides Villanueva in the 45thth minute just in front of the goal should have ended in point on the board, but Xose Valtierra had a great feel for the game and superbly saved the ball from getting in by the left post. Aristides Villanueva's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Xose Valtierra firmly grabbed it by the left post.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Ricky Kalischer stepped up to make the kick off in the second half.

After some careless play in the Caldo de Gallina Ranchero defense, Ricky Kalischer kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Xose Valtierra. The Caldo de Gallina Ranchero fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Xose Valtierra should have stopped the shot. After a defensive mix-up in Canalla Fuego's zone, Nicanor Bertol stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.
