Olavarría
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Lino Pere kicked off to start the match. Cipriano Seber fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 3rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Amador Claude having to interfere. Eulalio Nazario's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Amador Claude read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 4th minute of play. Ranqueles's Amador Claude proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 6th minute of the match, managed to save Ranqueles from getting a goal against them. Ranqueles were furious when Claudio Lapurdi was red carded, 9 minutes into the game, but the referee dismissed their protests. In the 9th minute, one of Ranqueles:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Ranqueles. When the match had been going on for 11 minutes, Olavarría AFC's Leandro Guzman got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Amador Claude. Christian Bixintxo hit a great freekick 16 minutes into the match. If Cipriano Seber had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Eulalio Nazario might have been able to make a better finish in the 33rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Amador Claude. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Eulalio Nazario ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 33rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Ranqueles's goalkeeper Amador Claude, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Gualterio Mede took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Elias Cresconio, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Elias Cresconio scored 1-1 in the 48th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Gualterio Mede, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

If Eulalio Nazario had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 55th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Elias Cresconio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 62nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Alonzo Jurgi blasted a shot towards the goal in the 68th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Gualterio Mede having to make a save. Elias Cresconio received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 71st minute. Gualterio Mede tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Eulalio Nazario in the 73rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Amador Claude saved Ranqueles from getting behind. Elias Cresconio fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 75th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gualterio Mede having to interfere. After 83 minutes, Alonzo Jurgi mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Ranqueles and the Olavarría AFC players grew even worse after the yellow card. Olavarría AFC's Leandro Guzman couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 83rd minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Ranqueles. In the 86th minute, Alonzo Jurgi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After recieving a nice pass, Olavarría AFC's Leandro Guzman tried to score from far away in the 87th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. Amador Claude showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Eulalio Nazario, who was totally free with the ball in the 90th minute. After a defensive mix-up in Olavarría AFC's zone, Alonzo Jurgi stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Gualterio Mede came out of the goal and Alonzo Jurgi tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The second half was just like the first, even and exciting. The match ended in a draw.
