Federation Clash Challenge

Malvinas Argentinas
Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Fabricio Checa started the match with the kick off. Lancelot Cambero took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Arnaldo Colas, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 6th minute Fabricio Checa shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Naike Abalos saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Fjölnir Bergsson came up free with the goalie in the 8th minute, the La Mandarina Mecánica 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 Fjölnir Bergsson couldn't finish the play. After having played for 10 minutes, Fjölnir Bergsson managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. La Mandarina Mecánica's supporters crossed their fingers, but Fjölnir Bergsson was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Itacaruaré's Lancelot Cambero played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Arnaldo Colas in the 14th minute of play. 14 minutes into the game, Arnaldo Colas cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Lancelot Cambero was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Fabricio Checa sent away a hard shot on goal in the 33rd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Fabricio Checa could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 33rd minute of the match, but Naike Abalos made a huge save. Fabricio Checa blasted a shot towards the goal in the 37th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Naike Abalos having to make a save. An unexpectedly hard shot by Fabricio Checa in the 37th minute of play forced La Mandarina Mecánica's goalkeeper Naike Abalos to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Itacaruaré's Daniel Lorenz quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Edward Groth, made in the 41st minute of the game. Patricio Hanni came free with the goalkeeper in the 42nd minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Naike Abalos could save by the left post. After the first half La Mandarina Mecánica were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Arnaldo Colas to strike the kick off in the second half. Placido Pieper got a throw-in 53 minutes in the game and the ball was received by Arnaldo Colas. Jeronimo Jakue 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. Itacaruaré made a substitution. Emilio Benitez replaced Samuel Zumiza. John Abancens kicked well hit freekick during the 67th minute of the match. Naike Abalos took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Fabricio Checa, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The audience was convinced that Fabricio Checa's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Naike Abalos was relentless in the 72nd minute of the game. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by John Abancens during the 76th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The supporters of Itacaruaré booed when La Mandarina Mecánica was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 76 match minutes in a wonderful position. John Abancens didn't get a good kick on the ball. La Mandarina Mecánica's Rojelio Abeijon was substituted for Andrzej Dziedziak. John Abancens hit a great freekick 77 minutes into the match. 83 minutes into the match, Itacaruaré's goal looked a bit too open when Arnaldo Colas came free, but Lancelot Cambero reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When La Mandarina Mecánica's Arnaldo Colas, in the 83rd minute, received a pass right in front of the net, it looked like a certain goal, but his shot went outside. A wasted opportunity for La Mandarina Mecánica. In the 90th minute the ball was on its way in behind Itacaruaré's goalkeeper Lancelot Cambero, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Naike Abalos took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Emilio Benitez, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 96thth minute of the game Fabricio Checa who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but La Mandarina Mecánica's Naike Abalos was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. When the referee blew the final whistle jeers and boos were heard from the home team's supporters. They were angered to see Itacaruaré lose a match they had controlled from the kick-off.
