Prized/Friendly Cup

Diego A Maradona
Spectators: 39 (Terracing: 30, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Marco Lorien got the match started through his kick off. If Ubaldo Matildo Bahamonde had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The attack was good, but when Axel Maldini in the 24th minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. Martino Larrazabal kicked well hit freekick during the 29th minute of the match. 32 minutes into the match, Ubaldo Matildo Bahamonde notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of AFC FUSION's Valentin Manex. Valentin Manex was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 36th minute Axel Maldini shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Valentin Manex saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-1.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Axel Maldini to strike the kick off in the second half. LA 90's Albin Cordoba played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Rodolfo Gilabert in the 51st minute of play. After 52 played minutes LA 90 got a freekick which was hit by Edelmiro Aguad. In the 57th minute Marco Lorien shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Albin Cordoba saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Axel Maldini recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 59th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Valentin Manex made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Martino Larrazabal in the 63rd minute of play. Marco Lorien scored 1-1 in the 66th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Albin Cordoba, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. An unexpectedly hard shot by Martino Larrazabal in the 71st minute of play forced AFC FUSION's goalkeeper Valentin Manex to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 72nd minute, Axel Maldini hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Rodolfo Gilabert charged in rather forcefully in the 80th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Rodolfo Gilabert the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Axel Maldini received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 87th minute. Valentin Manex tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. With a little luck, AFC FUSION's Valentin Manex got control of the ball when Axel Maldini tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 92nd match minute, LA 90 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Roland Gaete to maneuver through the defense. Marco Lorien might have been able to make a better finish in the 94th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Albin Cordoba. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Marco Lorien ran back to his position shaking his head. Edgard Abascal fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 94th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Albin Cordoba having to interfere. LA 90 were disappointed that they only managed a draw, even though they felt themselves to be the better team.
