JUAN CARLOS CARDENAS
Spectators: 7058 (Terracing: 5395, Seating: 1653, VIP seats: 10) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ariel Pagomari took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 6th minute, Filomeno Fidensio hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Cayetano Escobar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 12th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The referee felt a red card was in order, 14 minutes into the game, when Herminio Oier put in a rough tackle. In a very dangerous position, a player in Princesas Perversas fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 14th minute. Penalty! With his leg Jaime Tibalt managed to avoid a goal in the 19thth minute, when F.C. Guardia Imperial's Cayetano Escobar fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Lucio Canor fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 25th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Marcial Theobald having to interfere. F.C. Guardia Imperial's Cayetano Escobar came free and shot a quick shot against goal 31 minutes in the game, fortunately Jaime Tibalt had problems saving as it came toward the left post. Lucio Canor fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 34th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Marcial Theobald having to interfere. Ildefonso Lon sent away a hard shot on goal in the 36th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. After a defensive mix-up in F.C. Guardia Imperial's zone, Lucio Canor stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Marcial Theobald came out of the goal and Lucio Canor tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Ildefonso Lon received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 47th minute. Marcial Theobald tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Lucio Canor to make the kick off. Ariel Pagomari fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 52nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jaime Tibalt having to interfere. Ariel Pagomari received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 55th minute. Jaime Tibalt tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Lucio Canor recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 59th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Ariel Pagomari scored 2-0 in the 61st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Jaime Tibalt, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Lucio Canor fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 65th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Marcial Theobald having to interfere. In the 72nd minute, Cayetano Escobar got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. 89 minutes into the game, Laureano Tonete was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. F.C. Guardia Imperial's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Princesas Perversas the free kick. The crowd rose to their feet and cheered when the referee blew the final whistle. F.C. Guardia Imperial had won after a very even match.
