ARENA MILO
Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Joel Gaona made the kick off which started today's match. The audience thought a goal was coming when Ildefonso Gonsalvo got free with Dante Lacasa in the 8th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After some careless play in the C.A. MILO defense, Alberto Tafalla kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Bonifacio Roca. The C.A. MILO fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Bonifacio Roca should have stopped the shot. 17 minutes into the match, C.A. MILO's goal looked a bit too open when Alberto Tafalla came free, but Bonifacio Roca reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 19 played minutes C.A. MILO got a freekick which was hit by Ildefonso Gonsalvo. Bonifacio Roca came out of the goal in the 20th minute to try and stop a shot by Mexico's Alberto Tafalla. But to his dismay, Alberto Tafalla quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-2. Nicolas Chaime hit a great freekick 23 minutes into the match. After 31 minutes of play, Mexico's Alberto Tafalla made it 0-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Bonifacio Roca was left in no man's land by his defense there! Facundo Cadaval fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 34th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bonifacio Roca having to interfere. In the 37th minute, Lautaro Mancebo made a precise shot to the right of Bonifacio Roca. C.A. MILO's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-4. Dante Lacasa made a fantastic save in the 40th minute, when Cesar Pereyra sent off a good shot on target. The audience was convinced that Lautaro Mancebo's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Bonifacio Roca was relentless in the 43rd minute of the game. With a little luck, Mexico's Dante Lacasa got control of the ball when Ildefonso Gonsalvo tried to sneak it across the goal line. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-4 lead.

The wind increased when Cesar Pereyra made the kick off in the second half. Joel Gaona sent away a hard shot on goal in the 50th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. If Alberto Tafalla had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 51st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Bonifacio Roca showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Joel Gaona in the 53rd minute of the match. 54 minutes into the game, Alberto Tafalla recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Bonifacio Roca. Alberto Tafalla showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 0-5. Dante Lacasa made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ronaldo Martinez in the 65th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Mexico's Alberto Tafalla got a free kick in the 66th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Samuel Valgma in the 74th minute of play forced Mexico's goalkeeper Dante Lacasa to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The C.A. MILO fans' excitement grew in the 74th match minute when C.A. MILO's Cesar Pereyra looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 1-5 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Bonifacio Roca didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Alberto Tafalla went, in the 79th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-6 was the resulting score. In the 83rd minute Alberto Tafalla shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Bonifacio Roca saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. C.A. MILO's Bonifacio Roca proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 86th minute of the match, managed to save C.A. MILO from getting a goal against them. After a defensive mix-up in C.A. MILO's zone, Lautaro Mancebo stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Bonifacio Roca came out of the goal and Lautaro Mancebo tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 92 minutes into the match, Samuel Valgma notched a goal, 2-6, to the right of Mexico's Dante Lacasa. Dante Lacasa was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After some fancy dribbling in the 95th minute, Ronaldo Martinez managed to get in a good position for a shot. C.A. MILO's supporters rose to their feet, but Ronaldo Martinez was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Dante Lacasa breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The C.A. MILO fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Mexico were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
