Rawson FC
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Aquiles Ekialde made the kick off and thus started the match. 3 minutes into the match, Gavino Garci notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Rawson FC's Florencio Tanio. Florencio Tanio was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 9th minute, Gavino Garci left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Getrep fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-2. Felipe Etxepare made a fantastic save in the 12th minute, when Timoteo Mitxaut sent off a good shot on target. Rawson FC's Timoteo Mitxaut got a good chance for a goal in the 15th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 17th minute Aquiles Ekialde shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Felipe Etxepare saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When the match had gone on for 19 minutes, Aquiles Ekialde took a quick shot and it went in 1-2 without a chance for Felipe Etxepare to make any attempt to save it. Florencio Tanio made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Gavino Garci in the 26th minute of play. After 30 played minutes Getrep got a freekick which was hit by Santos Haitz. 38 minutes into the match, Rawson FC's goal looked a bit too open when Elpidio Boni came free, but Florencio Tanio reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 42nd minute, Rawson FC's Timoteo Mitxaut ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Felipe Etxepare. Felipe Etxepare yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 2-2. The first half was very even, with the score at 2-2 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Gerardo Matteo to make the kick off. In the 52nd minute, Gerardo Matteo got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Celestino Rozarius hit a great freekick 53 minutes into the match. Timoteo Mitxaut sent away a hard shot on goal in the 58th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Elpidio Boni fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 62nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Florencio Tanio having to interfere. In the 65th minute, Gerardo Matteo ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Florencio Tanio was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-3. After some careless play in the Getrep defense, Timoteo Mitxaut kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Felipe Etxepare. The Getrep fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Felipe Etxepare should have stopped the shot. Felipe Etxepare showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Felix Confesor in the 76th minute of the match. Felipe Etxepare took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Timoteo Mitxaut, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Felix Confesor had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 80th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When the match had gone on for 84 minutes, Gerardo Matteo took a quick shot and it went in 3-4 without a chance for Florencio Tanio to make any attempt to save it. After 88 minutes, Gavino Garci mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Getrep and the Rawson FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. When the match clock showed 89 minutes, the score became 4-4 when Aquiles Ekialde sped through Getrep's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Felipe Etxepare. Timoteo Mitxaut recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 93rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When the referee blew the final whistle, you could see the dissatisfaction in the Rawson FC players' eyes. They were disappointed they hadn't taken more from the game.
