Guayacancito
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Mede Traveso kicked off to start the match. Bittor Arzalaga showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Sendoa Arrate, who was totally free with the ball in the 5th minute. Sendoa Arrate sent away a hard shot on goal in the 9th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Bittor Arzalaga came out of the goal in the 16th minute to try and stop a shot by Guarajara FC's Mendebal Saucedo. But to his dismay, Mendebal Saucedo quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. After 19 played minutes Guarajara FC got a freekick which was hit by Galeno Mendaza. In the 21st minute the ball was on its way in behind Guarajara FC's goalkeeper Geleberto Melgosa, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 23 minutes into the match, Frantxizko Rosabel sent off a long shot that looked like it was going straight into the goal, but because Geleberto Melgosa threw himself in his full length he managed to grip the ball by the left post, and there was no goal for Frantxizko Rosabel this time. Sotil Ontoria kicked well hit freekick during the 25th minute of the match. 27 minutes into the game, Sendoa Arrate cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-2. Bittor Arzalaga was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. When Sotil Ontoria came up free with the goalie in the 35th minute, the Guarajara 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 Sotil Ontoria couldn't finish the play. Bittor Arzalaga showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Sendoa Arrate, who was totally free with the ball in the 37th minute. After 38 minutes, Sendoa Arrate made it 1-3 with a short kick to the right side. Guayacancito's Bittor Arzalaga tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. After a rather tough play, Guarajara FC's Galeno Mendaza got a free kick in the 47th minute. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-3 lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Sendoa Arrate to strike the kick off in the second half. Mede Traveso sent away a hard shot on goal in the 52nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 54th minute Sendoa Arrate shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Bittor Arzalaga saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 58 minutes into the match, Guayacancito's goalkeeper Bittor Arzalaga had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Mendebal Saucedo. If Mendebal Saucedo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 59th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 61 minutes into the match, Mendebal Saucedo notched a goal, 1-4, to the right of Guayacancito's Bittor Arzalaga. Bittor Arzalaga was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 65th match minute, Guarajara FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Sotil Ontoria to maneuver through the defense. Mendebal Saucedo who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 74thth minute tested the skills of Bittor Arzalaga when he managed to save the team from getting behind. When the match had gone on for 75 minutes, Sendoa Arrate took a quick shot and it went in 1-5 without a chance for Bittor Arzalaga to make any attempt to save it. If Mendebal Saucedo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 82nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 84th minute Sendoa Arrate shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Bittor Arzalaga saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Geleberto Melgosa showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Havier Agraña in the 86th minute of the match. Guarajara FC played a much better game than Guayacancito and deserved their victory. The Guayacancito players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
