Estadio Achupallas
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Bulnes's Rafael Miro started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. In the 11th minute Humberto Peru shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Enrique Orland saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Enrique Orland was out of position in the 13 minute of play, and Humberto Peru capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Humberto Peru really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. Rafael Miro sent away a hard shot on goal in the 18th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 27 minutes into the game, one of Achupallas FC:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. The referee gave Bulnes a penalty, 28 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Delmiro Cresconio, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Achupallas FC's Conrado Demesio. 1-1. After a rather tough play, Bulnes's Sergio Tipi got a free kick in the 31st minute. Achupallas FC's Norberto Havier shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 32nd minute of play. The shot was stopped by Enrique Orland but with some difficulty. In the 40th minute, Rafael Miro ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Conrado Demesio was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-2. Conrado Demesio showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Bernardo Ibon in the 45th minute of the match. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

In the 53rd of the match, Rafael Miro tried to place the ball in the upper right corner, but Conrado Demesio got in the way and made a wonderful save. Bernardo Ibon succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 1-4 in the 54th playminute. When Rafael Miro came up free with the goalie in the 59th minute, the Bulnes 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 Rafael Miro couldn't finish the play. Bernardo Ibon's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Conrado Demesio read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 60th minute of play. 64 minutes into the match, Evaristo Arixo notched a goal, 2-4, to the right of Bulnes's Enrique Orland. Enrique Orland was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 68 minutes into the match, Achupallas FC's goal looked a bit too open when Rafael Miro came free, but Conrado Demesio reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 69th minute, Bernardo Ibon left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Bulnes fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-5. In the 76th minute, Raimundo Urre hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Sergio Tipi's late challenge caught a Achupallas FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Sergio Tipi helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of Achupallas FC booed when Bulnes was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 79 match minutes in a wonderful position. Sergio Tipi didn't get a good kick on the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 81st minute, Humberto Peru managed to get in a good position for a shot. Achupallas FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Humberto Peru was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Enrique Orland breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Sixto Bastiaro's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Enrique Orland read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 87th minute of play. After 88 played minutes Bulnes got a freekick which was hit by Celedonio Silvanito. In the 89th minute, Sixto Bastiaro 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. An unexpectedly hard shot by Sixto Bastiaro in the 91st minute of play forced Bulnes's goalkeeper Enrique Orland to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The Bulnes supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Bulnes would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
