Characate Arena
Spectators: 156 (Terracing: 117, Seating: 36, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Aquilino Argoitz started the match with the kick off. When Rigoberto Ur fell near the penalty area in the 3rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Characate FC's protests and gave Rigoberto Ur a yellow card for diving instead. In the 3rd minute, Rigoberto Ur hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Marcos Mederi took the ball and in the 17 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Eustacio Bordat. Eustacio Bordat dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-0. After 21 played minutes Characate FC got a freekick which was hit by Michael Ballack. When Garcilaso Garcha came up free with the goalie in the 22nd minute, the Lagrima en Jarrita 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 Garcilaso Garcha couldn't finish the play. Eustacio Bordat was a little too slow when Loco Palermo got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 26th minute. The score was now 3-0. Benjamin Price showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Aquilino Argoitz, who was totally free with the ball in the 29th minute. If Marcos Mederi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Loco Palermo took the ball and in the 38 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Eustacio Bordat.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Jonas Merexildo in the 50th minute of play forced Characate FC's goalkeeper Benjamin Price to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Marcos Mederi struck a weak shot in the 51st minute. Eustacio Bordat didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Characate FC. After 55 minutes of play, Characate FC's Marcos Mederi made it 5-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Eustacio Bordat was left in no man's land by his defense there! Eustacio Bordat came out of the goal in the 60th minute to try and stop a shot by Characate FC's Loco Palermo. But to his dismay, Loco Palermo quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 6-0. 63 minutes into the match, Marcos Mederi had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Eustacio Bordat. Lagrima en Jarrita's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Marcos Mederi was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 7-0. Guillermo Barros Schelloto sent away a hard shot on goal in the 68th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
