Iturbe
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Julian Jaume kicked off to start the match. The supporters of ※Patolaus Football Club※ booed when Iturbe AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 3 match minutes in a wonderful position. Danilo Iratxo didn't get a good kick on the ball. Erasmo Maurin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 14th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a rather tough play, Iturbe AFC's Guido Argina got a free kick in the 15th minute. In the 17th minute, Benedicto Ipar hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Benito Vito fell near the penalty area in the 25th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Iturbe AFC's protests and gave Benito Vito a yellow card for diving instead. Benito Monte received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 28th minute. Everardo Ipar tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Erasmo Maurin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 30th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Benito Monte in the 32nd minute of play forced Iturbe AFC's goalkeeper Everardo Ipar to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The audience was convinced that Julian Jaume's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Placido Matxin was relentless in the 35th minute of the game. When Benito Monte came up free with the goalie in the 38th minute, the ※Patolaus Football Club※ 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 Benito Monte couldn't finish the play. Erasmo Maurin received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 45th minute. Everardo Ipar tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 47 minutes into the game, Iturbe AFC's Honorato Lico nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Placido Matxin made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-0. Af the end of the first half the score was 1-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Erasmo Maurin to strike the kick off in the second half. Julian Jaume sent away a hard shot on goal in the 54th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Benito Monte scored 1-1 in the 57th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Everardo Ipar, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 61 minutes into the game, Leandro Asur was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. ※Patolaus Football Club※'s manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Iturbe AFC the free kick. Leandro Asur hit a great freekick 61 minutes into the match. In the 66th match minute, ※Patolaus Football Club※ was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Jacinto Alvarez to maneuver through the defense. A collision led to ※Patolaus Football Club※ getting a freekick after 68 minutes play. Leandro Asur hit a great ball. After 69 played minutes, Iturbe AFC's Leo Paez shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Placido Matxin came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Iturbe AFC reached it. If Julian Jaume had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 72nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 74 minutes into the game, Honorato Lico cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-1. Placido Matxin was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Everardo Ipar showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Erasmo Maurin in the 86th minute of the match. Benito Monte fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 90th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Everardo Ipar having to interfere. Iturbe AFC's Astor Pagomari got a good chance for a goal in the 97th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Honorato Lico fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 98th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Placido Matxin having to interfere. ※Patolaus Football Club※'s players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
