Monumental de CUEC
Spectators: 50 (Terracing: 38, Seating: 11, VIP seats: 1) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Daniel Bertoni made the kick off which started today's match. Alfredinho Gerber showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Luan Pombo in the 4th minute of the match. In the 4th minute, Xian J.J. hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 6 minutes C.U.E. DE COMERCIO's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Danell Mackiathan who took care of the corner kick. With a little luck, Chinese CJ Youth Academy's David Abad got control of the ball when Daniel Bertoni tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 17th minute Danell Mackiathan shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Alfredinho Gerber saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 21 minutes into the match, Chinese CJ Youth Academy's goal looked a bit too open when Daniel Bertoni came free, but David Abad reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Danell Mackiathan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 23rd minute. Alfredinho Gerber tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Danell Mackiathan in the 45th minute of play forced C.U.E. DE COMERCIO's goalkeeper Alfredinho Gerber to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Daniel Bertoni struck a weak shot in the 47th minute. David Abad didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for C.U.E. DE COMERCIO. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Turgut Soyuer stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. When Seb Gentiletti came up free with the goalie in the 62nd minute, the C.U.E. DE COMERCIO 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 Seb Gentiletti couldn't finish the play. C.U.E. DE COMERCIO's Salvador Romano was substituted for Daniel Bertoni. David Abad showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Salvador Romano, who was totally free with the ball in the 66th minute. Alfredinho Gerber took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Turgut Soyuer, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Alfredinho Gerber made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Turgut Soyuer in the 78th minute of play. If Turgut Soyuer had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 84th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Turgut Soyuer in the 84th minute of play forced C.U.E. DE COMERCIO's goalkeeper Alfredinho Gerber to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Turgut Soyuer's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Alfredinho Gerber read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 87th minute of play. After 97 played minutes Chinese CJ Youth Academy got a freekick which was hit by Cui Peng Sen. The final whistle blew with the score still tied, and both teams left the pitch thinking about the missed chances that could have given their team the win.
