RosendO ParaisO
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Blas Erasto took the kick off in the first half of the match. Maximiliano Colas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 4th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Maximiliano Colas in the 12th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Camilo Ofelio prevented the ball from getting in the gole. 17 minutes into the game, Elvio Nicholas cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-0. Camilo Ofelio was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. If Maximiliano Colas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 29 played minutes Cronaldo got a freekick which was hit by Omar Abeitia. After a defensive mix-up in Cronaldo's zone, Elvio Nicholas stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Camilo Ofelio came out of the goal and Elvio Nicholas tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When Elvio Nicholas came up free with the goalie in the 39th minute, the Don Rosendo 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 Elvio Nicholas couldn't finish the play. Don Rosendo's Maximiliano Colas got a good chance for a goal in the 41st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Elvio Nicholas fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 42nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Camilo Ofelio having to interfere. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-0 at half-time.

The wind increased when Maximiliano Colas made the kick off in the second half. After 54 played minutes Cronaldo got a freekick which was hit by Gaudencio Llope. In the game's 55th minute Don Rosendo's Bruno Geleberto took a hard shot from long distance, a kick which went into the net just to the right of Camilo Ofelio and thus the score was 3-0. After 58 minutes, Maximiliano Colas made it 4-0 with a short kick to the right side. Cronaldo's Camilo Ofelio tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Ruperto Eusko hit a great freekick 67 minutes into the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 68th minute, Bruno Geleberto managed to get in a good position for a shot. Don Rosendo's supporters rose to their feet, but Bruno Geleberto was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Camilo Ofelio breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Elvio Nicholas scored 5-0 in the 70th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Camilo Ofelio, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After 85 minutes, Agustin Maxin mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Cronaldo and the Don Rosendo players grew even worse after the yellow card. The referee gave Don Rosendo a penalty, 87 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Bruno Geleberto, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Cronaldo's Camilo Ofelio. 6-0. Esteve Gregory hit a great freekick 89 minutes into the match. In the 91st minute of the match, Blas Erasto tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Feliciano Gotzon saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Don Rosendo had played much better football throughout.
