Official Cup

Templo Sagrado
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. Evgeni Popovski started the match with the kick off. Evgeni Popovski sent away a hard shot on goal in the 3rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Bozhin Palakarchev came up free with the goalie in the 7th minute, the Knights Templar 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 Bozhin Palakarchev couldn't finish the play. After having played for 10 minutes, Evgeni Popovski managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Knights Templar's supporters crossed their fingers, but Evgeni Popovski was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 18th minute Elvio Gorka shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Petyo Kolchakov saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 21 minutes into the match, Damyan Labov had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Casimiro Astrada. Diego Eterno's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Damyan Labov was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Esteve Mirande could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 25th minute of the match, but Petyo Kolchakov made a huge save. Casimiro Astrada didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Evgeni Popovski went, in the 27th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-2 was the resulting score. After 30 played minutes Diego Eterno got a freekick which was hit by Lucas Sazon. Petyo Kolchakov made an important save on a dangerous shot by Esteve Mirande in the 33rd minute. Casimiro Astrada showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Evgeni Popovski in the 36th minute of the match. After a rather tough play, Diego Eterno's Aurelio Enol got a free kick in the 36th minute. Knights Templar's Petyo Kolchakov proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 42nd minute of the match, managed to save Knights Templar from getting a goal against them. If Evgeni Popovski had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 46th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Siro Salamon to strike the kick off in the second half. In the 51st minute, Knights Templar's Evgeni Popovski dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 0-3. Petyo Kolchakov showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Siro Salamon in the 60th minute of the match. Diego Eterno's Casimiro Astrada played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Damyan Labov in the 63rd minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 67th minute, Evgeni Popovski managed to get in a good position for a shot. Knights Templar's supporters rose to their feet, but Evgeni Popovski was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Casimiro Astrada breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 69 minutes into the match, Diego Eterno's goalkeeper Casimiro Astrada had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Evgeni Popovski. Evgeni Popovski struck a weak shot in the 71st minute. Casimiro Astrada didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Knights Templar. Siro Salamon charged in rather forcefully in the 72nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Siro Salamon the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, Diego Eterno's Siro Salamon got a free kick in the 72nd minute. After having played for 79 minutes, Elvio Gorka managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Diego Eterno's supporters crossed their fingers, but Elvio Gorka was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. If Elvio Gorka had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 95th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
