Tala
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Donato Colas started the match with the kick off. After 5 played minutes, Aurelia's Narciso Poz shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Lázaro Oinaz 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 Aurelia reached it. Angelino Egoitz fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 7th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Elvio Moise having to interfere. Juan Leocadio hit a great freekick 8 minutes into the match. In the 16th minute Angelino Egoitz shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Elvio Moise saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Juan Leocadio charged in rather forcefully in the 16th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down.

Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Angelino Egoitz in the 32nd minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Elvio Moise prevented the ball from getting in the gole. If Rodrigo Rocendo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 34th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Victorino Tanio's late challenge caught a Tala FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain.
