Estadio Atraucó
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. Serafin Txartiko started the match with the kick off. 6 minutes into the match, Atraucó AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Serafin Txartiko came free, but Teo Euloxu reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. David Estebe's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Emanuel Llorian read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 9th minute of play. After 13 played minutes Atraucó AFC got a freekick which was hit by Godofredo Naike. After 14 minutes of play, El Fortin's Serafin Txartiko made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Teo Euloxu was left in no man's land by his defense there! When Clodoveo Firmo fell near the penalty area in the 19th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored El Fortin's protests and gave Clodoveo Firmo a yellow card for diving instead. Clodoveo Firmo hit a great freekick 19 minutes into the match. David Estebe's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 22ndth minute, Emanuel Llorian skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. A collision led to El Fortin getting a freekick after 22 minutes play. Clodoveo Firmo hit a great ball. After having played for 26 minutes, Vladimiro Chuse managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. El Fortin's supporters crossed their fingers, but Vladimiro Chuse was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Leandro Baristo in the 35th minute of play forced El Fortin's goalkeeper Emanuel Llorian to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. El Fortin's Emanuel Llorian played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Leandro Baristo in the 37th minute of play. Leandro Baristo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 43rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Emanuel Llorian having to interfere. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Leandro Baristo to make the kick off. If David Estebe had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 55th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 57th minute David Estebe shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Emanuel Llorian saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Emanuel Llorian came out of the goal in the 59th minute to try and stop a shot by Atraucó AFC's Leandro Baristo. But to his dismay, Leandro Baristo quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. Emanuel Llorian made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from David Estebe in the 62nd minute of play. Clodoveo Firmo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 66th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 71stth minute of the game Leandro Baristo who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but El Fortin's Emanuel Llorian was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Vladimiro Chuse could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 77th minute of the match, but Teo Euloxu made a huge save. David Estebe fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 78th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Emanuel Llorian having to interfere.

Leandro Baristo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 84th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Emanuel Llorian having to interfere. When Leandro Baristo came up free with the goalie in the 88th minute, the Atraucó 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 Leandro Baristo couldn't finish the play. David Estebe received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 91st minute. Emanuel Llorian tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
