U18 League

La Ciudadela
Spectators: 154 (Terracing: 116, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Esteban Bitxintxo kicked off to start the match. After some careless play in the San Martin de Tucuman defense, Cleto Urtsin kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Fabricio Steven. The San Martin de Tucuman fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Fabricio Steven should have stopped the shot. In the 21st play minute Astor Kepa came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Carolo Ruisko. 2-1. 25 minutes into the match, Cleto Urtsin had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Fabricio Steven. San Martin de Tucuman's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Cleto Urtsin was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-2. 30 minutes into the match, Esteban Bitxintxo notched a goal, 3-2, to the right of Machine Gun Kelly's Carolo Ruisko. Carolo Ruisko was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Esteban Bitxintxo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 35th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Eulalio Errando's late challenge caught a San Martin de Tucuman's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Eulalio Errando helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of San Martin de Tucuman booed when Machine Gun Kelly was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 37 match minutes in a wonderful position. Eulalio Errando didn't get a good kick on the ball. Carolo Ruisko made a fantastic save in the 39th minute, when Jonathan Victoro sent off a good shot on target. Esteban Bitxintxo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 40th minute. Carolo Ruisko tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Leo Ramone had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

San Martin de Tucuman made a substitution. Guido Gombal replaced Leo Ramone. Carolo Ruisko took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Esteban Bitxintxo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. San Martin de Tucuman's Victorino Servando was substituted for Esteban Bitxintxo. 70 minutes into the match, Machine Gun Kelly's goal looked a bit too open when Victorino Servando came free, but Carolo Ruisko reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When the match clock showed 77 minutes, the score became 4-2 when Victorino Servando sped through Machine Gun Kelly's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Carolo Ruisko. San Martin de Tucuman made a substitution. Raimundo Meder replaced Herminio Iyan. Machine Gun Kelly's attentive Jeremias Hitz managed to snatch the ball when Rogelio Clodio made a throw-in in the 90th minute of the game. 96 minutes into the match, Machine Gun Kelly's goal looked a bit too open when Victorino Servando came free, but Carolo Ruisko reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 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. San Martin de Tucuman fully deserved thier win.
