Barinitas
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Odilon Oceta kicked off to start the match. Odilon Oceta fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 6th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Luisito Andaltia having to interfere. After 8 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Corea! The goalkeeper, Luisito Andaltia, was totally fooled by Barinitas FC's Humberto Cadimo, who 10 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side. Cibran Zayas kicked well hit freekick during the 20th minute of the match. Ulises Acacia came out of the goal in the 28th minute to try and stop a shot by Corea's Cibran Zayas. But to his dismay, Cibran Zayas quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-2. In the 35th minute, Odilon Oceta 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. After having played for 41 minutes, Haritz Simon managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Barinitas FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Haritz Simon was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Luisito Andaltia showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Odilon Oceta in the 43rd minute of the match. Estevon Arancibia's late challenge caught a Barinitas FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Estevon Arancibia helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Corea's Estevon Arancibia got a free kick in the 47th minute.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Cibran Zayas made a kick off. Cibran Zayas could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 53rd minute of the match, but Ulises Acacia made a huge save. 61 minutes into the game, Xavon Cera cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-3. Ulises Acacia was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After a defensive mix-up in Corea's zone, Haritz Simon stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Luisito Andaltia came out of the goal and Haritz Simon tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Estevon Arancibia hit a great freekick 67 minutes into the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 71st minute, Cibran Zayas managed to get in a good position for a shot. Corea's supporters rose to their feet, but Cibran Zayas was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ulises Acacia breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Luisito Andaltia made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Odilon Oceta in the 75th minute of play. The audience thought a goal was coming when Xavon Cera got free with Ulises Acacia in the 77th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After 80 played minutes Corea got a freekick which was hit by Gumaro Aumada. Humberto Cadimo, 80 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. Barinitas FC's Ulises Acacia played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Cibran Zayas in the 84th minute of play. Xavon Cera's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Ulises Acacia read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 87th minute of play. Odilon Oceta received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 89th minute. Luisito Andaltia tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Luisito Andaltia showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Haritz Simon in the 90th minute of the match. When Xavon Cera fell near the penalty area in the 96th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Corea's protests and gave Xavon Cera a yellow card for diving instead. Xavon Cera hit a great freekick 96 minutes into the match. Luisito Andaltia showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Haritz Simon, who was totally free with the ball in the 98th minute. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Corea eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
