Spectators: 7550 (Terracing: 5664, Seating: 1736, VIP seats: 150) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Jairo Astigar kicked off to start the match. Cris Martin hit a great freekick 2 minutes into the match. Cris Martin might have been able to make a better finish in the 7th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Primitivo Orixe. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Cris Martin ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 13th minute, Karl Björling 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. Roberto Fonda didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Jairo Astigar went, in the 19th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. An unexpectedly hard shot by Lázaro Txilar in the 21st minute of play forced CRISTOBAL TERRANOVA Ψ's goalkeeper Roberto Fonda to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 24th minute, CRISTOBAL TERRANOVA Ψ's Don Blanco ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Primitivo Orixe. Primitivo Orixe yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-1. Teo Gimenez's late challenge caught a San Lorenzo 11's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Teo Gimenez helped the player get up and apologised. Paolo Rosalio could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 32nd minute of the match, but Primitivo Orixe made a huge save. The CRISTOBAL TERRANOVA Ψ fans' excitement grew in the 34th match minute when CRISTOBAL TERRANOVA Ψ's Karl Björling looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 2-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. In the 39th minute of the match, Don Blanco tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Primitivo Orixe saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. After 43 played minutes CRISTOBAL TERRANOVA Ψ got a freekick which was hit by Teo Gimenez. Cris Martin blasted a shot towards the goal in the 47th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Primitivo Orixe having to make a save.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Karl Björling to strike the kick off in the second half. Gualterio Aragones kicked well hit freekick during the 51st minute of the match. Primitivo Orixe made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Don Blanco in the 54th minute of play. In the 58th minute, Karl Björling ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Primitivo Orixe was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-1. 69 minutes into the match, San Lorenzo 11's goal looked a bit too open when Karl Björling came free, but Primitivo Orixe reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. CRISTOBAL TERRANOVA Ψ were furious when Teo Gimenez was red carded, 70 minutes into the game, but the referee dismissed their protests. In the 76th minute the ball was on its way in behind San Lorenzo 11's goalkeeper Primitivo Orixe, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Cris Martin received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 79th minute. Primitivo Orixe tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Cris Martin came up free with the goalie in the 86th minute, the CRISTOBAL TERRANOVA Ψ 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 Cris Martin couldn't finish the play. Primitivo Orixe took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Paolo Rosalio, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 89th minute of the match CRISTOBAL TERRANOVA Ψ got a corner. San Lorenzo 11's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Alton Brutov ran over to the corner to take the kick. A nice corner shot did that Alton Brutov got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Primitivo Orixe quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. Don Blanco sent away a hard shot on goal in the 93rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 94th match minute, San Lorenzo 11 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Serafin Fero to maneuver through the defense. 96 minutes into the match, CRISTOBAL TERRANOVA Ψ's goal looked a bit too open when Jairo Astigar came free, but Roberto Fonda reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
