Calcarea
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Manilan Robla took the kick off in the first half of the match. After 6 played minutes Machin got a freekick which was hit by Bonifaco Villavicencio. Bernad Buenaga's late challenge caught a Calcarea FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Bernad Buenaga helped the player get up and apologised. Manilan Robla fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 12th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Domenico Sopena having to interfere. 16 minutes into the game, Calcarea FC's Isias Olanda nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Chepe Canellas made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 2-0. With his leg Chepe Canellas managed to avoid a goal in the 19thth minute, when Calcarea FC's Isias Olanda fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Reno Mielgo in the 20th minute of play forced Machin's goalkeeper Chepe Canellas to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Isias Olanda sent away a hard shot on goal in the 22nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After some fancy dribbling in the 25th minute, Isias Olanda managed to get in a good position for a shot. Calcarea FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Isias Olanda was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Chepe Canellas breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 26th minute, Tajo Manjon hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a defensive mix-up in Machin's zone, Isias Olanda stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Chepe Canellas came out of the goal and Isias Olanda tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Manilan Robla had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Mero Camba sent away a hard shot on goal in the 34th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Manilan Robla fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 43rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Domenico Sopena having to interfere. Reno Mielgo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 46th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Reno Mielgo to strike the kick off in the second half. Mero Camba fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 52nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Domenico Sopena having to interfere. Domenico Sopena was a little too slow when Manilan Robla got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 59th minute. The score was now 2-1. In the 75thth minute of the game Isias Olanda who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Machin's Chepe Canellas was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. A collision led to Machin getting a freekick after 76 minutes play. Eleder Reguer hit a great ball. Chepe Canellas made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Isias Olanda in the 83rd minute of play. When Bonifaco Villavicencio was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 92 minutes had been played. Esteban Feruel, 94 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. Calcarea FC were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Machin for a fine match.
