Ahrenfeld
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Lino Nofre made the kick off which started today's match. Ahrenfeld FC's Anibal Carlomagno played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Romulo Magdaleno in the 5th minute of play. After having played for 10 minutes, Desiderio Enekoitz managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Tehuelches AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Desiderio Enekoitz was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Martin Sazon was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 14th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. 20 minutes into the match, Desiderio Enekoitz notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Ahrenfeld FC's Anibal Carlomagno. Anibal Carlomagno was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 23 minutes into the match, Tehuelches AFC's goalkeeper Generoso Tono had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Ruben Salvadore. 29 minutes into the game, Ramon Izotz was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Tehuelches AFC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Ahrenfeld FC the free kick. After a rather tough play, Tehuelches AFC's Ramon Izotz got a free kick in the 29th minute. Generoso Tono showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Lino Nofre, who was totally free with the ball in the 30th minute. After a defensive mix-up in Tehuelches AFC's zone, Ruben Salvadore stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Generoso Tono came out of the goal and Ruben Salvadore tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Lino Nofre sent away a hard shot on goal in the 41st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 47th minute the ball was on its way in behind Ahrenfeld FC's goalkeeper Anibal Carlomagno, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Romulo Magdaleno to make the kick off. Lino Nofre struck a weak shot in the 53rd minute. Generoso Tono didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ahrenfeld FC. After 54 played minutes Tehuelches AFC got a freekick which was hit by Aristides Lucero. Ruben Salvadore fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 55th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Generoso Tono having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Ahrenfeld FC's Ruben Salvadore got a free kick in the 58th minute. Ruben Salvadore received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 60th minute. Generoso Tono tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Ruben Salvadore had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 67th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Ruben Salvadore had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 69th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Florentino Telesforo struck a weak shot in the 70th minute. Generoso Tono didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ahrenfeld FC. Ahrenfeld FC's Cecilio Manuelo suffered a concussion in the 71st minute, after a hard challenge, and had to leave the field. After 71 minutes of play Tehuelches AFC's Aristides Lucero was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. In the 72nd minute, Aristides Lucero hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Ruben Salvadore sent away a hard shot on goal in the 75th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Lino Nofre recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 78th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Anibal Carlomagno made a fantastic save in the 80th minute, when Desiderio Enekoitz sent off a good shot on target. 81 minutes into the match, Ruben Salvadore had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Generoso Tono. Tehuelches AFC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ruben Salvadore was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. After some fancy dribbling in the 88th minute, Desiderio Enekoitz managed to get in a good position for a shot. Tehuelches AFC's supporters rose to their feet, but Desiderio Enekoitz was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Anibal Carlomagno breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Ruben Salvadore had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 92nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Desiderio Enekoitz came up free with the goalie in the 93rd minute, the Tehuelches AFC 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 Desiderio Enekoitz couldn't finish the play. The second half was just like the first, even and exciting. The match ended in a draw.
