Est Rommel Fernández
Spectators: 45 (Terracing: 35, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Tomas Berganza started the match with the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Tomas Berganza in the 3rd minute of play forced Kerteminde Boldklub's goalkeeper Roman Mehrtens to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Abraham Alguacil had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 6th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With an all-out effort, Panama's Roman Mehrtens threw himself towards the right post 11 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Tomas Berganza, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Roman Mehrtens showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Tomas Berganza in the 14th minute of the match. After having played for 21 minutes, Isidoro Sarmiento managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Panama's supporters crossed their fingers, but Isidoro Sarmiento was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 24th minute, Abraham Alguacil managed to get in a good position for a shot. Panama's supporters rose to their feet, but Abraham Alguacil was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Roman Mehrtens breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Isidoro Sarmiento struck a weak shot in the 27th minute. Roman Mehrtens didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Panama. 32 minutes into the match, Kerteminde Boldklub's goal looked a bit too open when Tomas Berganza came free, but Roman Mehrtens reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Roman Mehrtens made a fantastic save in the 34th minute, when Abraham Alguacil sent off a good shot on target. 35 minutes into the match, Kerteminde Boldklub's goalkeeper Roman Mehrtens had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Abraham Alguacil. Isidoro Sarmiento sent away a hard shot on goal in the 37th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Abraham Alguacil had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 45th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Tue Parslet to strike the kick off in the second half. Bertil Kapala scored 0-1 in the 53rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Marcos Cotilla, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Abraham Alguacil in the 61st managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Roman Mehrtens saved Kerteminde Boldklub from getting behind. Tomas Berganza's late challenge caught a Kerteminde Boldklub's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Tomas Berganza helped the player get up and apologised. The referee felt a red card was in order, 79 minutes into the game, when Felipe Ros put in a rough tackle. After 80 played minutes Panama got a freekick which was hit by Felipe Ros. Marcos Cotilla stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Tue Parslet's shot from short distance in the 81st minute. Roman Mehrtens showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Isidoro Sarmiento in the 83rd minute of the match. Roman Mehrtens made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Isidoro Sarmiento in the 86th minute of play. When Panama's Tomas Berganza in the 87th minute got a chance for a shot 87th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Kerteminde Boldklub's goalie prevented a goal. Roman Mehrtens took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Tomas Berganza, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Tomas Berganza fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 92nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Roman Mehrtens having to interfere. Although Panama had been in control for most of the match, Kerteminde Boldklub still came away with the win.
