Estadio Nagano
Spectators: 175 (Terracing: 132, Seating: 40, VIP seats: 3) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Chiquito Escalante made the kick off which started today's match. When Igor Abin fell near the penalty area in the 3rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored NAGANO F.C's protests and gave Igor Abin a yellow card for diving instead. Javier Rufo was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 4th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Damian Contera stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Carlos José Vega's shot from short distance in the 8th minute. Damian Contera showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Chiquito Escalante in the 10th minute of the match. Ordonez Repiso, 12 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Zorros del Desierto's Radomil Bucyki proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 13th minute of the match, managed to save Zorros del Desierto from getting a goal against them. Tiago Gabriel Mora's late challenge caught a Zorros del Desierto's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Tiago Gabriel Mora helped the player get up and apologised. In the 23rd match minute, NAGANO F.C was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Tiago Gabriel Mora to maneuver through the defense. The supporters of Zorros del Desierto booed when NAGANO F.C was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 25 match minutes in a wonderful position. Oso Viñambre didn't get a good kick on the ball. A nice corner shot did that Rodrigo Pérez got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Damian Contera quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. Carlos José Vega took the ball and in the 35 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Damian Contera. Damian Contera dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. 37 minutes into the match, NAGANO F.C's Tiago Gabriel Mora sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Radomil Bucyki narrowly saved just below the crossbar. When NAGANO F.C's Villagra Ygnacio in the 47th minute got a chance for a shot 47th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Zorros del Desierto's goalie prevented a goal. After the first half Zorros del Desierto were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The wind increased when Tiago Gabriel Mora made the kick off in the second half. 54 minutes into the match, Villagra Ygnacio notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Zorros del Desierto's Radomil Bucyki. Radomil Bucyki was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Radomil Bucyki showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Clemente Junquera in the 56th minute of the match. Radomil Bucyki made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Clemente Junquera in the 61st minute of play. Zorros del Desierto made a substitution. Cristian Insaurralde replaced Chiquito Escalante. In the 73rd minute Clemente Junquera shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Radomil Bucyki saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. NAGANO F.C's defense didn't have a chance, in the 81st minute, when Cristian Insaurralde scored to the left of an out of position Damian Contera, making the score, 1-4. In the 84th match minute, Zorros del Desierto was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Cristian Insaurralde to maneuver through the defense. Clemente Junquera spun around in front of the goal 87 minutes in the game, and got away a shot that, to his disappointment, went to the left of Zorros del Desierto's goal. The audience was convinced that Patxi Claude's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Damian Contera was relentless in the 91st minute of the game. When the match had gone on for 91 minutes, Patxi Claude put it in 1-5 from a short distance just to the right of Damian Contera. Álvaro Barco hit a great freekick 95 minutes into the match. After 96 minutes of play, NAGANO F.C's Villagra Ygnacio made it 2-5 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Radomil Bucyki was left in no man's land by his defense there! The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Zorros del Desierto eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
