Mayuyama
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Eztebe Maximino kicked off to start the match. 7 minutes into the match, Gero Duro notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Mayuyama FC's Bela Orol. Bela Orol was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Gero Duro sent away a hard shot on goal in the 12th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Bela Orol stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Eduino Giraldez's shot from short distance in the 14th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Eztebe Maximino in the 23rd minute of play forced Sibundoy's goalkeeper Leheren Boliaga to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Platon Barzana kicked well hit freekick during the 23rd minute of the match. 31 minutes into the game, Gero Duro cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-2. Bela Orol was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After a defensive mix-up in Mayuyama FC's zone, Gero Duro stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Bela Orol came out of the goal and Gero Duro tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Eduino Giraldez received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 42nd minute. Bela Orol tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Eztebe Maximino received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Leheren Boliaga came out and tried to block the shot, but Eztebe Maximino slotted it home off the left post making it 1-2 in the 45th minute. After the first half Sibundoy were leading 1-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The wind increased when Eduino Giraldez made the kick off in the second half. Eztebe Maximino fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 53rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Leheren Boliaga having to interfere. After 59 played minutes Mayuyama FC got a freekick which was hit by Roldanillo Odon. In the 60th minute, Godofredo Lemayo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Eduino Giraldez struck a weak shot in the 61st minute. Bela Orol didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Sibundoy. After 65 played minutes Sibundoy got a freekick which was hit by Gabino Hondon. Leheren Boliaga showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Eztebe Maximino in the 65th minute of the match. Rufo Mendez charged in rather forcefully in the 71st minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Rufo Mendez the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Rufo Mendez hit a great freekick 71 minutes into the match. Mayuyama FC's Eztebe Maximino got a good chance for a goal in the 73rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Godofredo Lemayo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 80th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Bela Orol made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Eduino Giraldez in the 84th minute of play. After 89 minutes of play, Mayuyama FC's Pacho Guren made it 2-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Leheren Boliaga was left in no man's land by his defense there! 93 minutes into the match, Sibundoy's goal looked a bit too open when Pacho Guren came free, but Leheren Boliaga reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Mayuyama FC's Bela Orol played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Eduino Giraldez in the 97th minute of play. The second half was just like the first, even and exciting. The match ended in a draw.
