Flamenco
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Sisebuto Rosende started the match with the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Wilson Hormann in the 3rd minute of play forced Flamenco FC's goalkeeper Alarico Cuadrado to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 10 minutes into the game, one of Limahue FC:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty.

Joaquin Ayala came out and tried to block the shot, but Sisebuto Rosende slotted it home off the left post making it 1-1 in the 25th minute. In the 28th minute Alonzo Quera shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Alarico Cuadrado saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Sisebuto Rosende might have been able to make a better finish in the 32nd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Joaquin Ayala. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out.

After some fancy dribbling in the 36th minute, Alonzo Quera managed to get in a good position for a shot. Limahue FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Alonzo Quera was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Alarico Cuadrado breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Limahue FC's Alonzo Quera got a good chance for a goal in the 39th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 42 minutes into the match, Limahue FC's Wilson Hormann sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Alarico Cuadrado narrowly saved just below the crossbar. After a defensive mix-up in Flamenco FC's zone, Wilson Hormann stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Alarico Cuadrado came out of the goal and Wilson Hormann tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Ferrán Garín hit a great freekick 46 minutes into the match. After a very even first half the match was still tied.

A collision led to Flamenco FC getting a freekick after 55 minutes play. Rodrigo Pena hit a great ball. Wilson Hormann recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 57th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 61 played minutes Limahue FC got a freekick which was hit by David Israel Leese. Carlos Hernán Danus, 63 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. In the 65thth minute of the game Sisebuto Rosende who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Limahue FC's Joaquin Ayala was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Joaquin Ayala didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Juan Antonio Asmussen went, in the 66th minute, to the upper right corner, 2-1 was the resulting score.

Joaquin Ayala made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Sisebuto Rosende in the 83rd minute of play. When Juan Antonio Asmussen came up free with the goalie in the 85th minute, the Flamenco FC 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 Juan Antonio Asmussen couldn't finish the play. If Wilson Hormann had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 91st minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Flamenco FC were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Limahue FC for a fine match.
