THE MISFITS
Spectators: 144 (Terracing: 109, Seating: 33, VIP seats: 2) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Marcos Maidana got the match started through his kick off. If Marcelo Baristo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 8 minutes, Ramiro Ciano mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Santhiagos Feli Club and the PeLotaZo al 9 players grew even worse after the yellow card.

Severo Acevedo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 14th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Leon Ieltxu having to interfere. The supporters of PeLotaZo al 9 booed when Santhiagos Feli Club was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 24 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ramiro Ciano didn't get a good kick on the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 25th minute, Marcos Maidana managed to get in a good position for a shot. PeLotaZo al 9's supporters rose to their feet, but Marcos Maidana was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

In the 36th minute, one of PeLotaZo al 9:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for PeLotaZo al 9. After some careless play in the PeLotaZo al 9 defense, Rosendo Arlo kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Leon Ieltxu. The PeLotaZo al 9 fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Leon Ieltxu should have stopped the shot. Leopoldo Abeitia hit a great freekick 41 minutes into the match.

Marcos Maidana ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 68th minute, Marcos Maidana ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal.
