ESPRESSO
Spectators: 52 (Terracing: 39, Seating: 12, VIP seats: 1) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Fernando Pinto took the kick off in the first half of the match. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Fabricio Frasco in the 3rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Iwan Lepucki saved LavAzzA from getting behind. In the 5th minute of the match Águilas Poblanas got a corner. LavAzzA's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Kimmo Saastamoinen ran over to the corner to take the kick. After 7 minutes of play, LavAzzA's Fernando Pinto made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Alexandros Ismael was left in no man's land by his defense there! After a rather tough play, LavAzzA's Fred Feuerstein got a free kick in the 9th minute. In the 10th minute Fabricio Frasco shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Iwan Lepucki saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 13 minutes into the match, Águilas Poblanas's goal looked a bit too open when Fernando Pinto came free, but Alexandros Ismael reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Fernando Pinto did some fancy footwork in front of goal and succeeded to deceive the defenders so he could slam the ball in 2-0 to the left of a surprised Alexandros Ismael 14 minutes into the match. In the 22nd minute, Fabricio Frasco left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Águilas Poblanas fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-1. Alexandros Ismael made an important save on a dangerous shot by Adam Vase in the 33rd minute. Águilas Poblanas's Alexandros Ismael played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Fernando Pinto in the 34th minute of play. After 35 minutes Águilas Poblanas's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Amerigo Labarra who took care of the corner kick. The corner led LavAzzA's Marcus Skytt to fire away a dangerous shot which Alexandros Ismael despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Through an outstanding action, after 37 minutes, Alexandros Ismael successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. In the 46th minute, Águilas Poblanas's Victor Macias seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Victor Macias the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Águilas Poblanas protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Victor Macias had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. 45 minutes into the game, one of Águilas Poblanas:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. The goalkeeper, Alexandros Ismael, was totally fooled by LavAzzA's Adam Vase, who 50 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side.

Águilas Poblanas's Eusebio Beltran was substituted for Fabricio Frasco. Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Eusebio Beltran to make the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Adam Vase in the 57th minute of play forced Águilas Poblanas's goalkeeper Alexandros Ismael to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Virgilio Txindoki sent away a hard shot on goal in the 59th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 61st minute Marcus Skytt shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Alexandros Ismael saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. With a little luck, LavAzzA's Iwan Lepucki got control of the ball when Eusebio Beltran tried to sneak it across the goal line. It was a well-played corner which Niklas Pedersson managed to volley towards the net. Unfortunately, he didn't get a great hit on the ball and it went out into the grandstand. LavAzzA's Iwan Lepucki proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 70th minute of the match, managed to save LavAzzA from getting a goal against them. Virgilio Txindoki sent away a hard shot on goal in the 71st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Iwan Lepucki showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Eusebio Beltran in the 74th minute of the match. If Eusebio Beltran had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 81st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 87 minutes into the match, Hannes Forsberg had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Alexandros Ismael. Águilas Poblanas's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Hannes Forsberg was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 5-1. LavAzzA's Iwan Lepucki played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Virgilio Txindoki in the 91st minute of play. Águilas Poblanas were awarded a corner in the 93th minute after LavAzzA's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Kimmo Saastamoinen took the corner. The corner ended in Kimmo Saastamoinen almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but LavAzzA's Iwan Lepucki did a great save.
