La Ratonera
Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Peter Flaa took the kick off in the first half of the match. 7 minutes into the match, A.D. Puente Cantalojas's Carlos Camarasa sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Ognyan Pironkov narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Peter Flaa scored 0-1 in the 8th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Atauri Salan, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 11th minute Carlos Camarasa shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ognyan Pironkov saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. A well-hit corner resulted in René Palencia heading the ball towards the goal, but to his dismay he misdirected it and missed the goal completely. 17 minutes into the match, FC Pirates's goal looked a bit too open when Carlos Camarasa came free, but Ognyan Pironkov reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ognyan Pironkov didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Carlos Camarasa went, in the 17th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score. An unexpectedly hard shot by Peter Flaa in the 23rd minute of play forced A.D. Puente Cantalojas's goalkeeper Atauri Salan to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Carlos Camarasa could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 28th minute of the match, but Ognyan Pironkov made a huge save. The throw-in from Garaona Serena in the 30th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by FC Pirates's Matey Bochkov. Atauri Salan showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Peter Flaa in the 31st minute of the match. 35 minutes had been played when some careless play by A.D. Puente Cantalojas's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Toma Drashanski was slow to take the kick. During this time FC Pirates's players had a chance to rest. 44 minutes into the match, A.D. Puente Cantalojas's goal looked a bit too open when Peter Flaa came free, but Atauri Salan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Carlos Camarasa came up free with the goalie in the 46th minute, the A.D. Puente Cantalojas 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 Carlos Camarasa couldn't finish the play. 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 Carlos Camarasa made a kick off. Ognyan Pironkov showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Carlos Camarasa, who was totally free with the ball in the 52nd minute. 62 minutes into the match, FC Pirates's goal looked a bit too open when Carlos Camarasa came free, but Ognyan Pironkov reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After having played for 64 minutes, Carlos Camarasa managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. A.D. Puente Cantalojas's supporters crossed their fingers, but Carlos Camarasa was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 67th minute, Peter Flaa reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Atauri Salan. The goal made the score 1-3. A.D. Puente Cantalojas's Xurde Yerro was substituted for René Palencia. Carlos Camarasa blasted a shot towards the goal in the 87th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Ognyan Pironkov having to make a save. The FC Pirates supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing FC Pirates would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
