Estadio Liberti
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Simon Ayala made the kick off which started today's match. Damian Dimo charged in rather forcefully in the 2nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Damian Dimo the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 3rd minute, Damian Dimo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The audience was convinced that Cristobal Cortez's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Alfredo Ioritz was relentless in the 4th minute of the game. In the 5th minute Cristobal Cortez shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Alfredo Ioritz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Simon Ayala in the 9th minute of play forced J.P.S's goalkeeper Alfredo Ioritz to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After having played for 15 minutes, Eriberto Kelemen managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. J.P.S's supporters crossed their fingers, but Eriberto Kelemen was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Marcelino Inocente kicked well hit freekick during the 24th minute of the match. Eriberto Kelemen received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 26th minute. Angel Argina tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Dario Locaio took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 29th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Angel Argina. VLADISOFIANJOS's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Carolo Ralondo struck a weak shot in the 31st minute. Angel Argina didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for J.P.S. Leopoldo Argis short, quick shot in the 33rdth minute got Angel Argina to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Simon Ayala fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 34th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Alfredo Ioritz having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in J.P.S's zone, Cristobal Cortez stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Alfredo Ioritz came out of the goal and Cristobal Cortez tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. VLADISOFIANJOS's Dario Ostots got a good chance for a goal in the 43rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Simon Ayala in the 44th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Alfredo Ioritz saved J.P.S from getting behind. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 0-0 after a close first half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Eriberto Kelemen to make the kick off. When Leopoldo Argi came up free with the goalie in the 55th minute, the J.P.S 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 Leopoldo Argi couldn't finish the play. Angel Argina showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Eriberto Kelemen, who was totally free with the ball in the 56th minute. Leopoldo Argi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 65th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Angel Argina having to interfere. Simon Ayala's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Alfredo Ioritz read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 68th minute of play. Eriberto Kelemen fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 74th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Angel Argina having to interfere. Cristobal Cortez could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 77th minute of the match, but Alfredo Ioritz made a huge save. Eriberto Kelemen sent away a hard shot on goal in the 79th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a rather tough play, J.P.S's Guaberto Pabla got a free kick in the 80th minute. J.P.S's Alfredo Ioritz played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Simon Ayala in the 83rd minute of play. In the 87th minute Simon Ayala shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Alfredo Ioritz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 91st minute Leopoldo Argi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Angel Argina saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The crowd rose to their feet as VLADISOFIANJOS's Cristobal Cortez slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Alfredo Ioritz. That made the score 0-1 after 93 minutes of play. The VLADISOFIANJOS supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing VLADISOFIANJOS would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
