Fabian C. Peruchena
Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Julian Raymundo started the match with the kick off. Julian Raymundo could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 3rd minute of the match, but Ovidio Roland made a huge save. Julian Raymundo's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Ovidio Roland firmly grabbed it by the left post. The audience was convinced that Meder Muños's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Alirio Ducoing was relentless in the 9th minute of the game. Jonas Henrico might have been able to make a better finish in the 13th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Ovidio Roland. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Jonas Henrico ran back to his position shaking his head. A collision led to Intimos de Reynoso getting a freekick after 17 minutes play. Meder Muños hit a great ball. Justo Florian kicked well hit freekick during the 18th minute of the match. 20 minutes into the match, Q. T. I.'s goal looked a bit too open when Meder Muños came free, but Alirio Ducoing reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ovidio Roland made a fantastic save in the 21st minute, when Jonas Henrico sent off a good shot on target. Julian Raymundo who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 26thth minute tested the skills of Ovidio Roland when he managed to save the team from getting behind. After having played for 28 minutes, Meder Muños managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Intimos de Reynoso's supporters crossed their fingers, but Meder Muños was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Alirio Ducoing made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Meder Muños in the 31st minute of play. After having played for 33 minutes, Meder Muños managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Intimos de Reynoso's supporters crossed their fingers, but Meder Muños was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. If Anibal Lluques had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 0-0 after a close first half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Meder Muños stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Anibal Lluques received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 57th minute. Ovidio Roland tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Intimos de Reynoso made a substitution. Erez Marica replaced Meder Muños. Janpier Alvisto hit a great freekick 71 minutes into the match. In the 72nd minute, Janpier Alvisto hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 75 minutes into the match, Anibal Lluques had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Ovidio Roland. Intimos de Reynoso's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Anibal Lluques was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. Q. T. I.'s Alirio Ducoing played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Erez Marica in the 80th minute of play. Erez Marica's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Alirio Ducoing firmly grabbed it by the left post. An unexpectedly hard shot by Anibal Lluques in the 86th minute of play forced Intimos de Reynoso's goalkeeper Ovidio Roland to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 92nd minute Erez Marica shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Alirio Ducoing saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The crowd rose to their feet as Erez Marica kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Alirio Ducoing. That made the score 1-1 in the 96 minute of play. Intimos de Reynoso were unable to convert their possession into goals, allowing Q. T. I. to leave the ground with a draw.
