Vitu
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Guilllermo Lobato made the kick off which started today's match. Iago Porta struck a weak shot in the 3rd minute. Honorio Alcain didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Vitu FC. Inacio Orruma was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 6th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Bide Monterros showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Martxot Montarco, who was totally free with the ball in the 12th minute. After 15 played minutes, Tinaco's Oro Carnero shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Bide Monterros came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Tinaco reached it. 17 minutes into the match, Vitu FC's goal looked a bit too open when Martxot Montarco came free, but Bide Monterros reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 27th minute Iago Porta shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Honorio Alcain saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Bide Monterros made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Martxot Montarco in the 33rd minute of play. Iago Porta's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Honorio Alcain read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 36th minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in Tinaco's zone, Iago Porta stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Honorio Alcain came out of the goal and Iago Porta tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When Cordarrel Salazar came up free with the goalie in the 41st minute, the Vitu 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 Cordarrel Salazar couldn't finish the play. In the 44th minute, Iago Porta reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Honorio Alcain. The goal made the score 1-0. Af the end of the first half the score was 1-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Iago Porta to strike the kick off in the second half. 52 minutes into the game, Rexino Viña was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Tinaco's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Vitu FC the free kick. Bide Monterros made an important save on a dangerous shot by Martxot Montarco in the 64th minute. After 67 minutes, Isias Padolles mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Vitu FC and the Tinaco players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 67th match minute, Vitu FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Isias Padolles to maneuver through the defense. 70 minutes into the match, Tinaco's goal looked a bit too open when Txartiko Antoniano came free, but Honorio Alcain reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 73rd minute Guilllermo Lobato shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Bide Monterros saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 76 minutes into the match, Vitu FC's Iago Porta sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Honorio Alcain narrowly saved just below the crossbar. If Guilllermo Lobato had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 77th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Guilllermo Lobato sent away a hard shot on goal in the 79th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 82nd minute, Txartiko Antoniano left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Vitu FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-0. Txartiko Antoniano sent away a hard shot on goal in the 90th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Guilllermo Lobato fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 96th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bide Monterros having to interfere. Vitu FC's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
