Spectators: 7549 (Terracing: 5663, Seating: 1736, VIP seats: 150) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Ulises Venerando made the kick off which started today's match. In the 3rd minute Ulises Venerando shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Volli Elts saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 9 minutes into the match, Ulises Venerando had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Volli Elts. JULM C.F.'s manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ulises Venerando was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. Dan Hernes charged in rather forcefully in the 19th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Dan Hernes the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 20th match minute, JULM C.F. was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Dan Hernes to maneuver through the defense. JULM C.F.'s Volli Elts proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 32nd minute of the match, managed to save JULM C.F. from getting a goal against them. Honorio Galo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 33rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Volli Elts made an important save on a dangerous shot by Alejo Arlo in the 42nd minute. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 1-0.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Elmu Koppelmaa to make the kick off. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Alejo Arlo during the 51st minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The supporters of JULM C.F. booed when LACELESTEYBLANCA was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 51 match minutes in a wonderful position. Alejo Arlo didn't get a good kick on the ball. The audience thought a goal was coming when Elmu Koppelmaa got free with Luciano Polo in the 53rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 53rd minute, Ulises Venerando hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Eliseo Atarrabi kicked well hit freekick during the 55th minute of the match. Elmu Koppelmaa struck a weak shot in the 56th minute. Luciano Polo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for JULM C.F.. The referee felt a red card was in order, 65 minutes into the game, when Edmund Salavesi put in a rough tackle. After 65 played minutes JULM C.F. got a freekick which was hit by Edmund Salavesi. Volli Elts showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ciriaco Peli in the 70th minute of the match. Volli Elts took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Honorio Galo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 75 minutes into the match, JULM C.F.'s goal looked a bit too open when Ulises Venerando came free, but Volli Elts reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 77 minutes, Ciriaco Peli mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the LACELESTEYBLANCA and the JULM C.F. players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 77 played minutes LACELESTEYBLANCA got a freekick which was hit by Ciriaco Peli. After some fancy dribbling in the 78th minute, Heldur Kinkar managed to get in a good position for a shot. JULM C.F.'s supporters rose to their feet, but Heldur Kinkar was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Luciano Polo breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Alejo Arlo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 83rd minute. Volli Elts tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in JULM C.F.'s zone, Alejo Arlo stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Volli Elts came out of the goal and Alejo Arlo tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. LACELESTEYBLANCA fully deserved thier win.
