Stadium of Peretu
Spectators: 43 (Terracing: 33, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Manuel Horațiu made the kick off which started today's match. After some fancy dribbling in the 5th minute, Lautaro Puig managed to get in a good position for a shot. Costa Rica's supporters rose to their feet, but Lautaro Puig was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Costel Juverdeanu breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. A collision led to Peretu City 09 getting a freekick after 6 minutes play. Dinu Semeghin hit a great ball. After some careless play in the Peretu City 09 defense, Eliseo Noboa kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Costel Juverdeanu. The Peretu City 09 fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Costel Juverdeanu should have stopped the shot. The supporters of Peretu City 09 booed when Costa Rica was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 13 match minutes in a wonderful position. Hugo Ferrant didn't get a good kick on the ball. 15 minutes into the match, Manuel Horațiu notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Costa Rica's Benito Sanz. Benito Sanz was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Adam Ştefănescu who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 20thth minute tested the skills of Benito Sanz when he managed to save the team from getting behind. In the 27th minute the ball was on its way in behind Costa Rica's goalkeeper Benito Sanz, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. If Axel Tasis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Eliseo Noboa's late challenge caught a Peretu City 09's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Eliseo Noboa helped the player get up and apologised. Constantin Dicu hit a great freekick 43 minutes into the match. In the 44th minute, Eliseo Noboa got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. 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 2-1.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Axel Tasis made a kick off. Axel Tasis's late challenge caught a Peretu City 09's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Axel Tasis helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Costa Rica's Axel Tasis got a free kick in the 52nd minute. Adam Ştefănescu took the ball and in the 53 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Benito Sanz. Benito Sanz dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 3-1. Costel Juverdeanu took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Eliseo Noboa, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Manuel Horațiu kicked well hit freekick during the 65th minute of the match. Through an outstanding action, after 67 minutes, Costel Juverdeanu successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. After 76 played minutes Peretu City 09 got a freekick which was hit by Dinu Semeghin. A hard shot by Axel Tasis from long distance, 77 minutes into the match, got Costel Juverdeanu's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. Peretu City 09's Manuel Horațiu got a good chance for a goal in the 80th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 84 minutes into the match, Peretu City 09's goalkeeper Costel Juverdeanu had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Aaron Alcocer. 86 minutes into the match, Costa Rica's goal looked a bit too open when Adam Ştefănescu came free, but Benito Sanz reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The Peretu City 09 players were eager to celebrate when the final whistle sounded. They had somehow managed to win, even though the away team had held the majority of the possession.
