Spectators: 174 (Terracing: 131, Seating: 40, VIP seats: 3) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Alberto Terry made the kick off which started today's match. 5 minutes into the match, Nova Soccer's goal looked a bit too open when Alberto Terry came free, but Karim Sifi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 10th minute, Alberto Terry ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Karim Sifi was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. A long shot from Piero Quispe in the 14th minute of play was well struck, but Gavino Bernat made a really good save at the right post. In the 18th minute Piero Quispe shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gavino Bernat saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 19th minute, Lucas Horna hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Nova Soccer's Karim Sifi played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Alberto Terry in the 22nd minute of play. Beltza Galnares's late challenge caught a Nova Soccer's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Beltza Galnares helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of Nova Soccer booed when ꜱᴀᴊʀᴀꜱ ꜰᴄ was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 25 match minutes in a wonderful position. Beltza Galnares didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 27 played minutes ꜱᴀᴊʀᴀꜱ ꜰᴄ got a freekick which was hit by Gar Remolino. Gavino Bernat was out of position in the 28 minute of play, and Piero Quispe capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Piero Quispe really showed his touch with that goal: 1-1. In the 36th match minute, ꜱᴀᴊʀᴀꜱ ꜰᴄ was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ibar Revuelta to maneuver through the defense. 39 minutes into the match, Donat Collier notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of ꜱᴀᴊʀᴀꜱ ꜰᴄ's Gavino Bernat. Gavino Bernat was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Nova Soccer's Karim Sifi played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Alberto Terry in the 45th minute of play.

After 56 minutes of play, Nova Soccer's Donat Collier made it 3-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Gavino Bernat was left in no man's land by his defense there! A collision led to ꜱᴀᴊʀᴀꜱ ꜰᴄ getting a freekick after 62 minutes play. Fraco Beite hit a great ball. Piero Quispe was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 63rd played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. In the 66th minute, ꜱᴀᴊʀᴀꜱ ꜰᴄ's Alberto Terry ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Karim Sifi. Karim Sifi yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 3-2. After some fancy dribbling in the 70th minute, Alberto Terry managed to get in a good position for a shot. ꜱᴀᴊʀᴀꜱ ꜰᴄ's supporters rose to their feet, but Alberto Terry was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Karim Sifi breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After a rather tough play, ꜱᴀᴊʀᴀꜱ ꜰᴄ's Qwinton Colmenares got a free kick in the 72nd minute. 72 minutes into the match, Nova Soccer's Piero Quispe sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Gavino Bernat narrowly saved just below the crossbar. ꜱᴀᴊʀᴀꜱ ꜰᴄ's Alberto Terry was standing unmarked in front of the goal when he, in the 84th play minute, got the ball and easily drilled it into the goal. A sloppy throw-in by Ibar Revuelta in the 93rd minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by Nova Soccer's Lucian Gamez. The teams fought very hard right up to the final whistle. Both sets of players were happy to go away with a draw.
