Estadio Espinardo
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Arxel Treviño got the match started through his kick off. In the 3rd minute, Zacarías Sevilla hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Andrea De la Torre could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 6th minute of the match, but Gerardo Rosas made a huge save. Gerardo Rosas showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Zosimo Redondo in the 11th minute of the match. When José Solera came up free with the goalie in the 17th minute, the Siskian 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 José Solera couldn't finish the play. Gerardo Rosas was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Zosimo Redondo showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-0 in the 21 minute of play. José Solera might have been able to make a better finish in the 26th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Tato Pardo. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. José Solera ran back to his position shaking his head. José Solera sent away a hard shot on goal in the 32nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. José Solera fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 34th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Tato Pardo having to interfere. Tato Pardo showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Arxel Treviño in the 36th minute of the match. After a defensive mix-up in Espinardo AFC's zone, José Solera stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Tato Pardo came out of the goal and José Solera tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 43rd minute Arxel Treviño shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tato Pardo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 44th minute, Sinforiano Coello hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Arxel Treviño hit a great freekick 47 minutes into the match. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 1-0 at half-time.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Zosimo Redondo made a kick off. Gerardo Rosas made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Zosimo Redondo in the 58th minute of play. If José Solera had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 65th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When José Solera came up free with the goalie in the 68th minute, the Siskian 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 José Solera couldn't finish the play. 70 minutes into the match, Siskian's José Solera sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Tato Pardo narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Espinardo AFC's Tato Pardo proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 72nd minute of the match, managed to save Espinardo AFC from getting a goal against them. In the 76th play minute José Solera came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Tato Pardo. 1-1. The supporters of Siskian booed when Espinardo AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 79 match minutes in a wonderful position. Sinforiano Coello didn't get a good kick on the ball. Gerardo Rosas showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Andrea De la Torre, who was totally free with the ball in the 83rd minute. 86 minutes into the match, Zosimo Redondo had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Gerardo Rosas. Siskian's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Zosimo Redondo was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-1. Andrea De la Torre struck a weak shot in the 89th minute. Gerardo Rosas didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Espinardo AFC. In the 93rd match minute, Siskian was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Maximiano Torrent to maneuver through the defense. Angelino Llorente took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 94th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Gerardo Rosas. Siskian's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Espinardo AFC's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
