DON CONCETTO PALOMBI
Spectators: 165 (Terracing: 124, Seating: 38, VIP seats: 3) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Augusto Osasun made the kick off which started today's match. 3 minutes into the match, Bendito Sea El Fernet's goal looked a bit too open when Filomeno Hodei came free, but Nemesio Firman reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Filomeno Hodei in the 5th minute of play forced Bendito Sea El Fernet's goalkeeper Nemesio Firman to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. With a little luck, Despidida AFC's Baldomero Asteri got control of the ball when Augusto Osasun tried to sneak it across the goal line. Bendito Sea El Fernet's Nemesio Firman played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Filomeno Hodei in the 11th minute of play. A collision led to Bendito Sea El Fernet getting a freekick after 17 minutes play. Augusto Osasun hit a great ball. In the 24th minute, Albino Argider ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Nemesio Firman was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. Nemesio Firman made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Filomeno Hodei in the 31st minute of play. If Fabio Machado had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 32nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 36 minutes into the game, Matias Florinio was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Bendito Sea El Fernet's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Despidida AFC the free kick. Matias Florinio kicked well hit freekick during the 36th minute of the match. Atila Eduardov took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 36th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Nemesio Firman. Bendito Sea El Fernet's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Augusto Osasun scored 1-1 in the 43rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Baldomero Asteri, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

The wind increased when Filomeno Hodei made the kick off in the second half. After some fancy dribbling in the 58th minute, Elpidio Jorrin managed to get in a good position for a shot. Despidida AFC's supporters rose to their feet, but Elpidio Jorrin was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Nemesio Firman breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Albino Argider did some fancy footwork in front of goal and succeeded to deceive the defenders so he could slam the ball in 1-2 to the left of a surprised Nemesio Firman 62 minutes into the match. Leonel Maureo kicked well hit freekick during the 66th minute of the match. 67 minutes into the match, Bendito Sea El Fernet's Niceto Lluciano broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. Albino Argider struck a weak shot in the 72nd minute. Nemesio Firman didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Despidida AFC. The supporters of Despidida AFC booed when Bendito Sea El Fernet was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 74 match minutes in a wonderful position. Fabio Machado didn't get a good kick on the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Filomeno Hodei in the 76th minute of play forced Bendito Sea El Fernet's goalkeeper Nemesio Firman to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Despidida AFC's Baldomero Asteri played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Fabio Machado in the 83rd minute of play. The audience thought a goal was coming when Elpidio Jorrin got free with Nemesio Firman in the 88th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. Despidida AFC had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
