STELLA MARIS PALACIO
Spectators: 43 (Terracing: 33, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Stamen Tekeliev took the kick off in the first half of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Filomeno Remir in the 6th minute of play forced CRONOPIOS Y FAMAS's goalkeeper Ter Stefanek to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 9 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for CRONOPIOS Y FAMAS! Ter Stefanek had in the 10thth minute some difficulties stopping Kieran Listkowski's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball. The excitement rose when Manfredi AFC's Kieran Listkowski after 10 played minutes turned away three defenders near the goal, and after that shot a ball that was too difficult for CRONOPIOS Y FAMAS's goalkeeper to hold. Score! 0-1. Roman Vachon showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Benito Fiz, who was totally free with the ball in the 13th minute. Benito Fiz's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Roman Vachon firmly grabbed it by the left post. The corner led CRONOPIOS Y FAMAS's Rein Keerme to fire away a dangerous shot which Roman Vachon despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. The audience was convinced that Filomeno Remir's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Ter Stefanek was relentless in the 24th minute of the game. Manfredi AFC were awarded a corner in the 25th minute after CRONOPIOS Y FAMAS's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Kieran Listkowski took the corner. In the 41st minute the ball was on its way in behind Manfredi AFC's goalkeeper Roman Vachon, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The supporters of Manfredi AFC booed when CRONOPIOS Y FAMAS was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 44 match minutes in a wonderful position. Cengizhan Soyurgal didn't get a good kick on the ball. Stamen Tekeliev sent away a hard shot on goal in the 47th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Filomeno Remir made a kick off. After having played for 53 minutes, Filomeno Remir managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Manfredi AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Filomeno Remir was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Manfredi AFC's Cheng Xiong Ang quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Rein Keerme, made in the 63rd minute of the game. In the 66th minute Stamen Tekeliev shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Roman Vachon saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Filomeno Remir in the 71st minute of play forced CRONOPIOS Y FAMAS's goalkeeper Ter Stefanek to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a rather tough play, CRONOPIOS Y FAMAS's Stamen Tekeliev got a free kick in the 74th minute. Manfredi AFC's Son Banana was substituted for Filomeno Remir. Stamen Tekeliev hit a great freekick 76 minutes into the match. Ter Stefanek made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Qiu Lin Yi in the 80th minute of play. 80 minutes into the match, CRONOPIOS Y FAMAS's goal looked a bit too open when Qiu Lin Yi came free, but Ter Stefanek reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. With an all-out effort, Manfredi AFC's Ter Stefanek threw himself towards the right post 81 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Qiu Lin Yi, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. 86 minutes into the game, Edward Huyghebaert cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-1. Roman Vachon was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After a defensive mix-up in Manfredi AFC's zone, Erhan Sarıoğlu stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Roman Vachon came out of the goal and Erhan Sarıoğlu tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Cheng Xiong Ang succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 2-2 in the 94th playminute. Roman Vachon showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Enio Coelho, who was totally free with the ball in the 96th minute. When the referee blew the final whistle, you could see the dissatisfaction in the Manfredi AFC players' eyes. They were disappointed they hadn't taken more from the game.
