Estadio Magdala
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Salvador Iigo made the kick off which started today's match. After a rather tough play, Lechuza's Damian Francesco got a free kick in the 3rd minute. 7 minutes into the match, Leones's goal looked a bit too open when Salvador Iigo came free, but Esteve Nesto reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 9 played minutes Leones got a freekick which was hit by Teo Cordarell. When Teo Cordarell came up free with the goalie in the 23rd minute, the Leones 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 Teo Cordarell couldn't finish the play. In the 26th minute, Adolfo 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. Adolfo Cordareo recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 29th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 38th minute, Salvador Iigo left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Lechuza fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. Elias Pirmin 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. 43 minutes into the match, Salvador Iigo notched a goal, 0-2, to the right of Leones's Esteve Nesto. Esteve Nesto was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. If Salvador Iigo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 48th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Disappointed in the 0-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Teo Cordarell to make the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Adolfo Cordareo in the 52nd minute of play forced Lechuza's goalkeeper Francisco Mitxaut to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Jeremias Pabla hit a great freekick 53 minutes into the match. Adolfo Cordareo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 54th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Francisco Mitxaut having to interfere. If Teo Cordarell had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 56th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 60th minute, Geronimo Eyague hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Elias Pirmin received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 71st minute. Esteve Nesto tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Salvador Iigo came up free with the goalie in the 73rd minute, the Lechuza 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 Salvador Iigo couldn't finish the play. Adolfo Cordareo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 78th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Francisco Mitxaut showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Teo Cordarell in the 80th minute of the match. If Elias Pirmin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 87th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a little luck, Leones's Esteve Nesto got control of the ball when Elias Pirmin tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 94th play minute Elias Pirmin came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Esteve Nesto. 0-3. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Lechuza walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
