Estadio Tabay
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Florencio Santana started the match with the kick off. When the match had gone on for 5 minutes, Dionisio Bibiano took a quick shot and it went in 1-0 without a chance for Eustacio Lawrence to make any attempt to save it. In the 9th minute, Ciriaco Benvido hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Club Atlético Arg's Jorge Urko got a good chance for a goal in the 13th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 14 minutes into the match, Club Atlético Arg's Florencio Santana sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Eustacio Ferran narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 15th match minute, Tabay was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Marciano Tano to maneuver through the defense. Jorge Urko might have been able to make a better finish in the 18th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Eustacio Ferran. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Jorge Urko ran back to his position shaking his head. When the match had gone on for 21 minutes, Jorge Urko put it in 1-1 from a short distance just to the right of Eustacio Ferran. The supporters of Club Atlético Arg booed when Tabay was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 23 match minutes in a wonderful position. Dionisio Bibiano didn't get a good kick on the ball. Dionisio Bibiano fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 29th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Eustacio Lawrence having to interfere. Club Atlético Arg's Florencio Santana got a good chance for a goal in the 36th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Tabay's Eustacio Ferran played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Jorge Urko in the 38th minute of play. 46 minutes into the match, Tabay's goal looked a bit too open when Florencio Santana came free, but Eustacio Ferran reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Eustacio Ferran came out of the goal in the 49th minute to try and stop a shot by Club Atlético Arg's Florencio Santana. But to his dismay, Florencio Santana quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-2. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-2 lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Dionisio Bibiano stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 55th minute Dionisio Bibiano shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Eustacio Lawrence saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 61 minutes into the match, Dionisio Bibiano notched a goal, 2-2, to the right of Club Atlético Arg's Eustacio Lawrence. Eustacio Lawrence was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After some fancy dribbling in the 65th minute, Marciano Tano managed to get in a good position for a shot. Tabay's supporters rose to their feet, but Marciano Tano was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Eustacio Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Eustacio Lawrence showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Eleuterio Poz, who was totally free with the ball in the 67th minute. After some careless play in the Club Atlético Arg defense, Dionisio Bibiano kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Eustacio Lawrence. The Club Atlético Arg fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Eustacio Lawrence should have stopped the shot. In the 82nd minute the ball was on its way in behind Tabay's goalkeeper Eustacio Ferran, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. If Jorge Urko had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 87th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Eleuterio Poz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 89th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Florencio Santana's late challenge caught a Tabay's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Florencio Santana helped the player get up and apologised. Florencio Santana hit a great freekick 90 minutes into the match. After a defensive mix-up in Club Atlético Arg's zone, Dionisio Bibiano stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Eustacio Lawrence came out of the goal and Dionisio Bibiano tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Jorge Urko could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 96th minute of the match, but Eustacio Ferran made a huge save. Eustacio Lawrence made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Eleuterio Poz in the 100th minute of play. Tabay's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
