Spectators: 7495 (Terracing: 5622, Seating: 1724, VIP seats: 149) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Tebaldo Artolozaga made the kick off which started today's match. When the match had gone on for 12 minutes, Agix Banos put it in 0-1 from a short distance just to the right of Cresconio Menocal. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Agix Banos in the 16th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Cresconio Menocal saved Alfonso Ugarte from getting behind. Akis Kiriakopoulos showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Tebaldo Artolozaga in the 21st minute of the match. Cresconio Menocal took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Agix Banos, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 24thth minute of the game Agix Banos who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Alfonso Ugarte's Cresconio Menocal was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. When Daidalos Giannopoulos fell near the penalty area in the 27th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored ΑΙΕΝ ΥΨΙΚΡΑΤΕΙΝ's protests and gave Daidalos Giannopoulos a yellow card for diving instead. Daidalos Giannopoulos hit a great freekick 27 minutes into the match. Artemio Quintero sent away a hard shot on goal in the 28th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. If Bento Busto had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 32nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 34th match minute, Alfonso Ugarte was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Arnaldo Ergueta to maneuver through the defense. When Taio Escalada came up free with the goalie in the 40th minute, the Alfonso Ugarte 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 Taio Escalada couldn't finish the play. 45 minutes into the game, Tebaldo Artolozaga was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Alfonso Ugarte's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave ΑΙΕΝ ΥΨΙΚΡΑΤΕΙΝ the free kick. Tebaldo Artolozaga kicked well hit freekick during the 45th minute of the match.

Artemio Quintero struck a weak shot in the 50th minute. Akis Kiriakopoulos didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Alfonso Ugarte. If Bento Busto had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 52nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Bento Busto in the 56th minute of play forced ΑΙΕΝ ΥΨΙΚΡΑΤΕΙΝ's goalkeeper Akis Kiriakopoulos to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After some careless play in the ΑΙΕΝ ΥΨΙΚΡΑΤΕΙΝ defense, Artemio Quintero kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Akis Kiriakopoulos. The ΑΙΕΝ ΥΨΙΚΡΑΤΕΙΝ fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Akis Kiriakopoulos should have stopped the shot. Hyllos Hagias could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 64th minute of the match, but Cresconio Menocal made a huge save. After a defensive mix-up in ΑΙΕΝ ΥΨΙΚΡΑΤΕΙΝ's zone, Artemio Quintero stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Akis Kiriakopoulos came out of the goal and Artemio Quintero tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 68th match minute, ΑΙΕΝ ΥΨΙΚΡΑΤΕΙΝ was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Agix Banos to maneuver through the defense. 78 minutes into the game, Cordarell Tarabejano was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Alfonso Ugarte's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave ΑΙΕΝ ΥΨΙΚΡΑΤΕΙΝ the free kick. After a rather tough play, Alfonso Ugarte's Cordarell Tarabejano got a free kick in the 78th minute. Cresconio Menocal showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Agix Banos, who was totally free with the ball in the 79th minute. Navarro Cuba charged in rather forcefully in the 80th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Navarro Cuba the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, Alfonso Ugarte's Navarro Cuba got a free kick in the 80th minute. With his leg Cresconio Menocal managed to avoid a goal in the 82ndth minute, when ΑΙΕΝ ΥΨΙΚΡΑΤΕΙΝ's Agix Banos fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. After 85 played minutes Alfonso Ugarte got a freekick which was hit by Tebaldo Artolozaga. An unexpectedly hard shot by Agix Banos in the 88th minute of play forced Alfonso Ugarte's goalkeeper Cresconio Menocal to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Hyllos Hagias received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 96th minute. Cresconio Menocal tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
