VOLVEREMOS A BOEDO
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Matias Salvadore took the kick off in the first half of the match. The audience was convinced that Nunez Firme's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Adolfo Sansone was relentless in the 6th minute of the game. In the 9th minute Nunez Firme shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Adolfo Sansone saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Eloy Domiku kicked well hit freekick during the 15th minute of the match. Melquiades Walme's late challenge caught a EL CICLON RELOAD's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Melquiades Walme helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Grana's Melquiades Walme got a free kick in the 19th minute. If Robustiano Tono had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 20th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Nunez Firme's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Adolfo Sansone read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 21st minute of play. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Nunez Firme in the 23rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Adolfo Sansone saved Grana from getting behind. EL CICLON RELOAD's Robustiano Tono got a good chance for a goal in the 25th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 31st minute, Nunez Firme 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. 35 minutes into the game, EL CICLON RELOAD's Robustiano Tono nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Adolfo Sansone made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-0. After some fancy dribbling in the 43rd minute, Romulo Seme managed to get in a good position for a shot. Grana's supporters rose to their feet, but Romulo Seme was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Marco Vitin breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

If Nunez Firme had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 57th minute, one of Grana: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 Grana. The referee gave EL CICLON RELOAD a penalty, 59 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Humberto Filipo, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Grana's Adolfo Sansone. 2-0. 62 minutes into the match, EL CICLON RELOAD's Robustiano Tono sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Adolfo Sansone narrowly saved just below the crossbar. 63 minutes into the match, Grana's goal looked a bit too open when Robustiano Tono came free, but Adolfo Sansone reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Adolfo Sansone took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Eloy Domiku, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Grana's Matias Salvadore in the 70th minute got a chance for a shot 70th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye EL CICLON RELOAD's goalie prevented a goal. Nunez Firme sent away a hard shot on goal in the 81st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Marco Vitin was out of position in the 83 minute of play, and Matias Salvadore capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Matias Salvadore really showed his touch with that goal: 2-1. Ignacio Gamus received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 96th minute. Adolfo Sansone tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The second half was just like the first, even and exciting. The match ended in a draw.
