Toculla
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) León Masson fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 5th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Paulo Malbec having to interfere. After 7 minutes, Juan Pratt mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Pindaco and the Toculla AFC players grew even worse after the yellow card. A collision led to Pindaco getting a freekick after 7 minutes play. Juan Pratt hit a great ball. In the 21st minute of the match Seran Paiva shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Paulo Malbec showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Marciano Abuauad sent away a hard shot on goal in the 25th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. León Masson fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 26th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Paulo Malbec having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Juan Cristóbal Jeldrez in the 30th minute of play forced Pindaco's goalkeeper Justino Antonucci to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Justino Antonucci made an important save on a dangerous shot by Gonzalo Guerola in the 32nd minute. In the 36th minute Juan Cristóbal Jeldrez shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Justino Antonucci saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 40 minutes into the game, Pindaco's Marciano Abuauad nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Paulo Malbec made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1. Justino Antonucci showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Juan Cristóbal Jeldrez, who was totally free with the ball in the 44th minute. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for León Masson to strike the kick off in the second half. Juan Cristóbal Jeldrez scored 1-1 in the 52nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Justino Antonucci, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. If Gonzalo Guerola had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After 60 minutes of play, Toculla AFC's Juan Cristóbal Jeldrez made it 2-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Justino Antonucci was left in no man's land by his defense there! Paulo Malbec stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of León Masson's shot from short distance in the 69th minute. Toculla AFC's defense didn't have a chance, in the 72nd minute, when Marciano Abuauad scored to the left of an out of position Paulo Malbec, making the score, 2-2. Orlando Marti, 77 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Pindaco's Marciano Abuauad got a good chance for a goal in the 86th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Justino Antonucci made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Gonzalo Guerola in the 89th minute of play. The Pindaco players were the happier at the end of the match as they had prevented Toculla AFC from taking control. The game ends in a draw.
