La Cascada Cordobesa
Spectators: 7677 (Terracing: 5758, Seating: 1766, VIP seats: 153) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Shi Zhen Kun kicked off to start the match. Severo Roderigo took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Shi Zhen Kun, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 5 minutes into the match, Juan Riquelme notched a goal, 1-0, to the right of MAZER SAF's Hermínio Eger. Hermínio Eger was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 7th minute, Saturnino Curcio hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. An unexpectedly hard shot by Shi Zhen Kun in the 11th minute of play forced Manantiales Fc's goalkeeper Severo Roderigo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 18 minutes into the match, MAZER SAF's goal looked a bit too open when Saturnino Curcio came free, but Hermínio Eger reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Manantiales Fc's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Honorio Pierres in the 19th minute. The corner ended in Honorio Pierres almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but MAZER SAF's Hermínio Eger did a great save. 20 minutes into the game, Modesto Ignado was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Manantiales Fc's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave MAZER SAF the free kick. In the 24th minute, Saturnino Curcio 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. After 27 minutes, Saturnino Curcio mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Manantiales Fc and the MAZER SAF players grew even worse after the yellow card. Saturnino Curcio kicked well hit freekick during the 27th minute of the match. Hermínio Eger showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Modesto Ignado in the 31st minute of the match. In the 34th minute, Honorio Pierres 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. Teobaldo Indartsu kicked well hit freekick during the 38th minute of the match. Gabriel Moscardó's late challenge caught a Manantiales Fc's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Gabriel Moscardó helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to MAZER SAF getting a freekick after 39 minutes play. Gabriel Moscardó hit a great ball. Ubaldo Joseph kicked well hit freekick during the 43rd minute of the match. Lei Hui Le received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 46th minute. Severo Roderigo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 1-2.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Saturnino Curcio to make the kick off. The audience thought a goal was coming when Shi Zhen Kun got free with Severo Roderigo in the 58th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Modesto Ignado's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Hermínio Eger read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 60th minute of play. Teobaldo Indartsu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 62nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Severo Roderigo was out of position in the 80 minute of play, and Paulo Renato Gonçalves capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Paulo Renato Gonçalves really showed his touch with that goal: 1-3. Juan Riquelme scored 2-3 in the 89th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Hermínio Eger, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 92nd minute Juan Riquelme shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Hermínio Eger saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.
