Dante Lacasa showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Brent-Jan Kindermans in the 5th minute of the match.

Angel Xacintu showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Joel Gaona in the 38th minute of the match. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Joel Gaona made a kick off. With a little luck, Carhue's Angel Xacintu got control of the ball when Alberto Tafalla tried to sneak it across the goal line.
