Estadio Paloma
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Gaston Iliana took the kick off in the first half of the match. 4 minutes into the match, Paloma's goal looked a bit too open when Alberto Cordareo came free, but Evaristo Diagur reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Lorenzo Txerran hit a great freekick 9 minutes into the match. Gaston Iliana's late challenge caught a Goya AFC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Gaston Iliana helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Paloma's Gaston Iliana got a free kick in the 17th minute. Paloma's Evaristo Diagur played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Alberto Cordareo in the 18th minute of play. Benicio Gorri kicked well hit freekick during the 21st minute of the match. If Alberto Cordareo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 30 minutes, Gaston Iliana managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Paloma's supporters crossed their fingers, but Gaston Iliana was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 32 minutes into the match, Paloma's goal looked a bit too open when Arnoldo Fertus came free, but Evaristo Diagur reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. With a little luck, Goya AFC's Bernabe Martino got control of the ball when Candido Dayam tried to sneak it across the goal line. Evaristo Diagur made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Arnoldo Fertus in the 40th minute of play. Alberto Cordareo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 44th minute. Evaristo Diagur tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Mauro Lidon kicked well hit freekick during the 45th minute of the match. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Alberto Cordareo to make the kick off. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Gaston Iliana in the 53rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Bernabe Martino saved Goya AFC from getting behind. Arnoldo Fertus received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 55th minute. Evaristo Diagur tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Arnoldo Fertus sent away a hard shot on goal in the 61st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Alberto Cordareo blasted a shot towards the goal in the 67th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Evaristo Diagur having to make a save. 74 minutes into the match, Paloma's Candido Dayam sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Bernabe Martino narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 75th minute the ball was on its way in behind Paloma's goalkeeper Evaristo Diagur, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 76th minute, Mateo Eufemio hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. With a little luck, Paloma's Evaristo Diagur got control of the ball when Arnoldo Fertus tried to sneak it across the goal line. Alberto Cordareo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 82nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Alberto Cordareo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 84th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Gaston Iliana came up free with the goalie in the 90th minute, the Paloma 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 Gaston Iliana couldn't finish the play. In the 93rd minute, Alberto Cordareo got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Paloma's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
