Spectators: 154 (Terracing: 116, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Abelardo Roland made the kick off which started today's match. Maximiliano Astudillo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Americo Mitxaut, who was totally free with the ball in the 3rd minute. Rigoberto Firmo kicked well hit freekick during the 7th minute of the match. Paulino Dei didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Manuel Cordera went, in the 12th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-0 was the resulting score. An unexpectedly hard shot by Abelardo Roland in the 19th minute of play forced TheBambiTooFurious's goalkeeper Paulino Dei to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The audience thought a goal was coming when Jairo Ritchie got free with Paulino Dei in the 20th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After a defensive mix-up in TheBambiTooFurious's zone, Abelardo Roland stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Paulino Dei came out of the goal and Abelardo Roland tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. A collision led to SAN MARTIN F.C. getting a freekick after 34 minutes play. Jairo Ritchie hit a great ball. SAN MARTIN F.C.'s Maximiliano Astudillo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ildefonso Caton in the 35th minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 37th minute, Blas Pierres managed to get in a good position for a shot. TheBambiTooFurious's supporters rose to their feet, but Blas Pierres was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Maximiliano Astudillo breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 45th minute, Ildefonso Caton left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The TheBambiTooFurious fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-1.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Blas Pierres made a kick off. Simon Canor sent away a hard shot on goal in the 52nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Paulino Dei took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Manuel Cordera, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Uriel Salomone was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 61 minutes into the match. SAN MARTIN F.C.'s Bernardino Ospin got a good chance for a goal in the 62nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 66 minutes into the match, Manuel Cordera had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Paulino Dei. TheBambiTooFurious's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Manuel Cordera was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-1. The supporters of SAN MARTIN F.C. booed when TheBambiTooFurious was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 74 match minutes in a wonderful position. Americo Mitxaut didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 75thth minute of the game Simon Canor who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but TheBambiTooFurious's Paulino Dei was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Paulino Dei showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Jairo Ritchie in the 83rd minute of the match. In the 86th minute, Rigoberto Firmo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Jairo Ritchie during the 90th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. TheBambiTooFurious's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
