TORQUE ARENA
Spectators: 38 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Gabriel Isaio made the kick off which started today's match. In the 7th minute, Gabriel Federigo made a precise shot to the right of Hugo Sabin. Real Academia Serengetti's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-0. Haroldo Nofre could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 21st minute of the match, but Hugo Sabin made a huge save. 24 minutes into the game, one of Real Academia Serengetti:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. The goalkeeper, Hugo Sabin, was totally fooled by TORQUE F.C.'s Gabriel Isaio, who 25 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Gabriel Guib in the 30th minute of play forced TORQUE F.C.'s goalkeeper Julian Mannuel to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Silvano Grabiel fell near the penalty area in the 36th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Real Academia Serengetti's protests and gave Silvano Grabiel a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of TORQUE F.C. booed when Real Academia Serengetti was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 36 match minutes in a wonderful position. Silvano Grabiel didn't get a good kick on the ball. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Americo Ferrer in the 41st managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Julian Mannuel saved TORQUE F.C. from getting behind. When the match clock showed 45 minutes, the score became 3-3 when Americo Ferrer sped through TORQUE F.C.'s defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Julian Mannuel. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Americo Ferrer to make the kick off. Americo Ferrer had several of the TORQUE F.C.'s defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 52 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 3-4 score and a disappointed Julian Mannuel as he didn't even see the shot coming. Hugo Sabin took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Gabriel Federigo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Hugo Sabin showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Gabriel Federigo, who was totally free with the ball in the 67th minute. Julian Mannuel made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Americo Ferrer in the 72nd minute of play. Gabriel Guib's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Julian Mannuel read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 74th minute of play. Donato Cai's late challenge caught a TORQUE F.C.'s player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Donato Cai helped the player get up and apologised. After 84 played minutes Real Academia Serengetti got a freekick which was hit by Gabriel Guib. Lisandro Esquipula received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Julian Mannuel came out and tried to block the shot, but Lisandro Esquipula slotted it home off the left post making it 3-6 in the 88th minute. Americo Ferrer kicked well hit freekick during the 92nd minute of the match. Hugo Sabin took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ruperto Kiliz, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.
