Montoya
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Emilio Gartzen made the kick off and thus started the match. Brealito's Claudio Cordaro proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 5th minute of the match, managed to save Brealito from getting a goal against them. After 8 minutes Brealito's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Cecilio Galindo who took care of the corner kick. A nice corner shot did that Cecilio Galindo got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Claudio Cordaro quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. Claudio Cordaro took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Mariano Unax, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Brealito's Angelino Tartalo got a good chance for a goal in the 13th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. The audience thought a goal was coming when Zacarias Arnau got free with Claudio Cordaro in the 20th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After 23 minutes, Carlos Egoitz mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Montoya AFC and the Brealito players grew even worse after the yellow card. Carlos Egoitz hit a great freekick 23 minutes into the match. Blas Herauso made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Angelino Tartalo in the 27th minute of play. Angelino Tartalo struck a weak shot in the 29th minute. Blas Herauso didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Brealito. Montoya AFC's Mariano Unax got a good chance for a goal in the 30th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Mariano Unax did some fancy footwork in front of goal and succeeded to deceive the defenders so he could slam the ball in 1-0 to the left of a surprised Claudio Cordaro 32 minutes into the match. When Zacarias Arnau came up free with the goalie in the 42nd minute, the Montoya AFC 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 Zacarias Arnau couldn't finish the play. With an all-out effort, Montoya AFC's Claudio Cordaro threw himself towards the right post 43 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Mariano Unax, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Claudio Cordaro was out of position in the 46 minute of play, and Mariano Unax capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Mariano Unax really showed his touch with that goal: 2-0.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Mariano Unax made a kick off. With his leg Blas Herauso managed to avoid a goal in the 64thth minute, when Brealito's Angelino Tartalo fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. After 72 played minutes Montoya AFC got a freekick which was hit by Nestor Abad. If Angelino Tartalo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 73rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 79 minutes, Mariano Unax managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Montoya AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Mariano Unax was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After 86 minutes of play, Montoya AFC's Zacarias Arnau made it 3-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Claudio Cordaro was left in no man's land by his defense there! Emilio Gartzen blasted a shot towards the goal in the 93rd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Blas Herauso having to make a save. If Emilio Gartzen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 96th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 97th match minute, Montoya AFC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Cleto Goito to maneuver through the defense. Montoya AFC were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Brealito for a fine match.
