Urundel
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when 于威杰 got the match started through his kick off. After a rather tough play, Buitres FC's Victorio Theobald got a free kick in the 6th minute. After 9th play minutes 于威杰 shot 1-0, a short shot which went by Severo Sesuldo and just under the crossbar into goal. Ermegildo Otsando showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Teobaldo Ipar in the 24th minute of the match. 于威杰 struck a weak shot in the 25th minute. Severo Sesuldo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Buitres FC. After a rather tough play, Buitres FC's Andres Arias got a free kick in the 26th minute. After some careless play in the Cienaguita defense, 于威杰 kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Severo Sesuldo. The Cienaguita fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Severo Sesuldo should have stopped the shot. Teobaldo Ipar received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 35th minute. Ermegildo Otsando tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Teobaldo Ipar in the 36th minute of play forced Buitres FC's goalkeeper Ermegildo Otsando to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 38th minute the ball was on its way in behind Buitres FC's goalkeeper Ermegildo Otsando, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 39 minutes into the match, Buitres FC's goal looked a bit too open when Modesto Colon came free, but Ermegildo Otsando reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Buitres FC's Ermegildo Otsando played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Teobaldo Ipar in the 41st minute of play. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-0 at half-time.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Modesto Colon to make the kick off. Ermegildo Otsando stood somewhat misplaced when Modesto Colon came free in front of goal and shot 2-1 to the left of him in the 52 minute. 55 minutes into the match, Cienaguita's Teobaldo Ipar sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Ermegildo Otsando narrowly saved just below the crossbar. The supporters of Cienaguita booed when Buitres FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 55 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ramiro Marin didn't get a good kick on the ball. Ermegildo Otsando showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Modesto Colon, who was totally free with the ball in the 58th minute. When Teobaldo Ipar came up free with the goalie in the 59th minute, the Cienaguita 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 Teobaldo Ipar couldn't finish the play. Leopoldo Mano's late challenge caught a Cienaguita's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Leopoldo Mano helped the player get up and apologised. In the 61st minute, one of Buitres FC:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Buitres FC. 于威杰 might have been able to make a better finish in the 66th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Severo Sesuldo. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. 于威杰 ran back to his position shaking his head. Kryspin Poreda sent away a hard shot on goal in the 68th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Santiago Astigar fell near the penalty area in the 69th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Cienaguita's protests and gave Santiago Astigar a yellow card for diving instead. Santiago Astigar hit a great freekick 69 minutes into the match. If Teobaldo Ipar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 74th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Modesto Colon fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 76th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ermegildo Otsando having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Cienaguita's zone, Kryspin Poreda stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Severo Sesuldo came out of the goal and Kryspin Poreda tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 79 minutes into the match, Modesto Colon dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Ermegildo Otsando, 3-2. In the 82nd match minute, Buitres FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ramiro Marin to maneuver through the defense. After having played for 86 minutes, Placido Barrionuevo managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Cienaguita's supporters crossed their fingers, but Placido Barrionuevo was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Severo Sesuldo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from 于威杰, who was totally free with the ball in the 91st minute. Severo Sesuldo came out of the goal in the 92nd minute to try and stop a shot by Buitres FC's Kryspin Poreda. But to his dismay, Kryspin Poreda quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 4-2. Buitres FC walked away with a well-earned victory that was much celebrated by the crowd.
