Spectators: 38 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Zhelyo Tzingilev got the match started through his kick off. After 2 played minutes Pryaporets got a freekick which was hit by Huben Simchev. When Melchor Behe fell near the penalty area in the 4th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored A.F Cuervos Azulgranas's protests and gave Melchor Behe a yellow card for diving instead. Melchor Behe kicked well hit freekick during the 4th minute of the match. In the 7th minute, A.F Cuervos Azulgranas's Guillermo Bonifaco seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Guillermo Bonifaco the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of A.F Cuervos Azulgranas protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Guillermo Bonifaco had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. In the 6th minute, one of A.F Cuervos Azulgranas:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for A.F Cuervos Azulgranas. Zhelyo Tzingilev shot the penalty kick right outside the post. After having played for 14 minutes, Laureano Furtado managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. A.F Cuervos Azulgranas's supporters crossed their fingers, but Laureano Furtado was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. A.F Cuervos Azulgranas's Jose Vitin played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Zhelyo Tzingilev in the 16th minute of play. In the 18th minute Zhelyo Tzingilev shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jose Vitin saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 27th match minute, A.F Cuervos Azulgranas was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Aristides Fagondo to maneuver through the defense. In the 31st minute, Valentin Gúrkov 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. The supporters of Pryaporets booed when A.F Cuervos Azulgranas was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 37 match minutes in a wonderful position. Aristides Fagondo didn't get a good kick on the ball. Jose Vitin showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Zhelyo Tzingilev in the 38th minute of the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 41st minute, Aristides Fagondo managed to get in a good position for a shot. A.F Cuervos Azulgranas's supporters rose to their feet, but Aristides Fagondo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Krasimir Gradishki breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Valentin Gúrkov took the ball and in the 43 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Jose Vitin. Jose Vitin 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.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Aristides Fagondo stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. If Valentin Gúrkov had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 57th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 67 minutes into the match, A.F Cuervos Azulgranas's goalkeeper Jose Vitin had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Zhelyo Tzingilev. When Zhelyo Tzingilev came up free with the goalie in the 71st minute, the Pryaporets 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 Zhelyo Tzingilev couldn't finish the play. Laureano Furtado received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 82nd minute. Krasimir Gradishki tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Zhelyo Tzingilev struck a weak shot in the 97th minute. Jose Vitin didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Pryaporets. The A.F Cuervos Azulgranas fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Pryaporets were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
