ACHIRAS FC
Spectators: 7258 (Terracing: 5445, Seating: 1669, VIP seats: 144) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Eleuterio Arce got the match started through his kick off. When Damaso Fonso came up free with the goalie in the 7th minute, the Moreno FC 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 Damaso Fonso couldn't finish the play. In the 12th minute, Eleuterio Arce 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. Lázaro Transito took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Damaso Fonso, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Lázaro Transito made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Eleuterio Arce in the 28th minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in Achirense FC's zone, Eleuterio Arce stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Lázaro Transito came out of the goal and Eleuterio Arce tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 33 played minutes, Achirense FC's Tomas Ramirez shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Justo Mano came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Achirense FC reached it. Hilario Curcio hit a great freekick 36 minutes into the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Orlando Txatxu in the 40th minute of play forced Moreno FC's goalkeeper Justo Mano to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Justo Mano made a fantastic save in the 41st minute, when Jonathan Olentzaro sent off a good shot on target. Moreno FC's Justo Mano proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 42nd minute of the match, managed to save Moreno FC from getting a goal against them.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Orlando Txatxu stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. 51 minutes into the match, Moreno FC's Eleuterio Arce sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Lázaro Transito narrowly saved just below the crossbar. After 52 minutes, Guillermo Egun mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Achirense FC and the Moreno FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Achirense FC's Guillermo Egun got a free kick in the 52nd minute. 58 minutes into the match, Eleuterio Arce had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Lázaro Transito. Achirense FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Eleuterio Arce was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. If Jonathan Olentzaro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 63rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 64th minute, Hilario Curcio managed to get in a good position for a shot. Achirense FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Hilario Curcio was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Justo Mano breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 68 played minutes Moreno FC got a freekick which was hit by Mariano Tiniebra. Lázaro Transito came out of the goal in the 71st minute to try and stop a shot by Moreno FC's Eleuterio Arce. But to his dismay, Eleuterio Arce quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-2. After 73 played minutes Moreno FC got a freekick which was hit by Eleuterio Arce. Justo Mano didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Hilario Curcio went, in the 77th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-2 was the resulting score. Orlando Txatxu struck a weak shot in the 82nd minute. Justo Mano didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Achirense FC. The audience was convinced that Orlando Txatxu's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Justo Mano was relentless in the 87th minute of the game. After 95 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Achirense FC!
