Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Tiburcio Remigio made the kick off which started today's match. Pedro Larra struck a weak shot in the 11th minute. Fernan Pero didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Acosta. After a rather tough play, La Toscana's Candido Nofre got a free kick in the 16th minute. Remigio Jakobe's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Fernan Pero read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 18th minute of play. 20 minutes into the game, Tiburcio Remigio cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Agustin Txerran was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Tiburcio Remigio took the ball and in the 23 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Agustin Txerran. Agustin Txerran dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-2. In the 27th minute Remigio Jakobe shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Fernan Pero saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in Acosta's zone, Candido Nofre stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Agustin Txerran came out of the goal and Candido Nofre tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After having played for 33 minutes, Tiburcio Remigio managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. La Toscana's supporters crossed their fingers, but Tiburcio Remigio was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Fernan Pero showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Remigio Jakobe, who was totally free with the ball in the 36th minute. 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.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Remigio Jakobe made a kick off. Remigio Jakobe received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 53rd minute. Fernan Pero tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Candido Nofre received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 55th minute. Agustin Txerran tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 60th minute, Enzo Bernebe 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. Agustin Txerran showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Tiburcio Remigio, who was totally free with the ball in the 63rd minute. Remigio Jakobe sent away a hard shot on goal in the 66th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Candido Nofre recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 70th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 71 minutes into the match, Tiburcio Remigio had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Agustin Txerran. Acosta's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Tiburcio Remigio was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-3. After some fancy dribbling in the 79th minute, Remigio Jakobe managed to get in a good position for a shot. Acosta's supporters rose to their feet, but Remigio Jakobe was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Fernan Pero breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Agustin Txerran made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Tiburcio Remigio in the 85th minute of play. If Candido Nofre had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. La Toscana's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
