Baez Monumental
Spectators: 165 (Terracing: 124, Seating: 38, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Feliciano Darien started the match with the kick off. Lázaro Cisco made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Abelado Iriarte in the 3rd minute of play. 7 minutes into the match, Sirius Dog's goal looked a bit too open when Axel Unquera came free, but Lázaro Cisco reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Sirius Dog's Lázaro Cisco played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Axel Unquera in the 7th minute of play. Feliciano Darien blasted a shot towards the goal in the 16th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Maurilio Mendoza having to make a save. If Feliciano Darien had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 19th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 20 minutes of play, Sirius Dog's Ruperto Matthew made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Maurilio Mendoza was left in no man's land by his defense there! Feliciano Darien scored 0-2 in the 24th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Maurilio Mendoza, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Lázaro Cisco made an important save on a dangerous shot by Abelado Iriarte in the 33rd minute. Abelado Iriarte hit a great freekick 35 minutes into the match. When Ruperto Matthew fell near the penalty area in the 42nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Sirius Dog's protests and gave Ruperto Matthew a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Sirius Dog's Ruperto Matthew got a free kick in the 42nd minute. In the 45th minute, Sirius Dog's Erubiel Bartoleme seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Erubiel Bartoleme the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Sirius Dog protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Erubiel Bartoleme had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. 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.

Sirius Dog's Lázaro Cisco played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Jon-Ander Bazaes in the 54th minute of play.

Antonio Cumplido's late challenge caught a Sirius Dog's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.
