Estadio Menafra
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Joseph Lezarreta made the kick off which started today's match. Lisandro Moiselo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 10th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After having played for 11 minutes, Xavieon Leza managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Menafra's supporters crossed their fingers, but Xavieon Leza was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. If Joseph Lezarreta had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Through an outstanding action, after 18 minutes, Urtsin Toresano successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. In the 22nd minute of the match Segio Portal shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Urtsin Toresano showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. After 27 minutes, Joseph Peralta mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Menafra and the Lluveras players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 27th minute, Joseph Peralta hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Chaime Collazos, 28 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. Joseph Lezarreta received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 33rd minute. Hug Echeguren tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Lluveras's Urtsin Toresano proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 35th minute of the match, managed to save Lluveras from getting a goal against them. If Lisandro Moiselo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Lisandro Moiselo might have been able to make a better finish in the 40th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Urtsin Toresano. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Lisandro Moiselo ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 46th minute the ball was on its way in behind Lluveras's goalkeeper Urtsin Toresano, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Urtsin Toresano showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Lisandro Moiselo in the 55th minute of the match. Azibar Solarriba's late challenge caught a Menafra's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Azibar Solarriba helped the player get up and apologised. Azibar Solarriba hit a great freekick 55 minutes into the match. When Lisandro Moiselo came up free with the goalie in the 57th minute, the Menafra 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 Lisandro Moiselo couldn't finish the play. Joseph Lezarreta 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. Lluveras's Urtsin Toresano played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Xavieon Leza in the 61st minute of play. 70 minutes into the game, Lluveras's Dagoberto Negroni nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Hug Echeguren made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-1. Urtsin Toresano took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Xavieon Leza, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Hug Echeguren made an important save on a dangerous shot by Dagoberto Negroni in the 75th minute. 78 minutes into the match, Lisandro Moiselo had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Urtsin Toresano. Lluveras's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Lisandro Moiselo was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-1. 83 minutes into the match, Joseph Lezarreta dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Hug Echeguren, 2-2. In the 87th minute, Dagoberto Negroni 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. In the 92ndth minute of the game Joseph Lezarreta who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Menafra's Hug Echeguren was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. 95 minutes into the match, Lisandro Moiselo had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Urtsin Toresano.
