Георги Бенковски
Spectators: 50 (Terracing: 38, Seating: 11, VIP seats: 1) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Abram Sarmiento took the kick off in the first half of the match. Pedro Manzanares was out of position in the 6 minute of play, and Aleks Vaskov capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Aleks Vaskov really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. Aleks Vaskov in the 9thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Pedro Manzanares, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Stoyo Dunov hit a great freekick 11 minutes into the match. Бенковски Тетевен's Ni Guang Yong played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Axel Montenegro in the 15th minute of play. The audience was convinced that Adalbert Marenski's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Pedro Manzanares was relentless in the 22nd minute of the game. Santino Seco's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Ni Guang Yong read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 23rd minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kevin Mastache in the 25th minute of play forced Бенковски Тетевен's goalkeeper Ni Guang Yong to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 28 minutes had been played when some careless play by Бенковски Тетевен's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Axel Montenegro was slow to take the kick. During this time Colombia's players had a chance to rest. A nice corner shot did that Axel Montenegro got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Ni Guang Yong quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. Axel Montenegro blasted a shot towards the goal in the 33rd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Ni Guang Yong having to make a save. 33 minutes into the match, Бенковски Тетевен's goal looked a bit too open when Axel Montenegro came free, but Ni Guang Yong reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The audience thought a goal was coming when Aleks Vaskov got free with Pedro Manzanares in the 34th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After a defensive mix-up in Бенковски Тетевен's zone, Abram Sarmiento stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ni Guang Yong came out of the goal and Abram Sarmiento tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Adalbert Marenski stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. If Adalbert Marenski had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 55th match minute, Colombia was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Orlando Tafalla to maneuver through the defense. If Adalbert Marenski had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 61st minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 61st minute Adalbert Marenski shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Pedro Manzanares saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Бенковски Тетевен's Ni Guang Yong played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Abram Sarmiento in the 68th minute of play. In the 74th minute Abram Sarmiento shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ni Guang Yong saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Cemil Uyaralp was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 76 minutes into the match. Colombia made a substitution. Ignacio Mastache replaced Abram Sarmiento. Colombia's Abram Secada was substituted for Axel Montenegro. After 75 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Бенковски Тетевен! Pedro Manzanares came out of the goal in the 86th minute to try and stop a shot by Бенковски Тетевен's Aleks Vaskov. But to his dismay, Aleks Vaskov quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-2. In the 89th minute, Aleks Vaskov made a precise shot to the right of Pedro Manzanares. Colombia's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 3-2. 93 minutes into the game, Stoyo Dunov threw the ball into play from the sideline. Colombia's Abram Secada quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. In the 95th minute the ball was on its way in behind Бенковски Тетевен's goalkeeper Ni Guang Yong, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.
