Real Valledupar FC 3 - 4 Escuela Carlos Sarmiento Lora (Second Division 1st Phase)
Both teams served up a game to remember as Escuela Carlos Sarmiento Lora came out on top in this 4 - 3 goal-fest.
One pundit commented that this match should be taped and shown to any doubters of the beautiful game. The highlight of the game was undoubtedly a superb hat-trick from Carlos Sarmiento's José RamÃrez.
Striker Ricardo Vidal got Valledupar off to a flyer by scoring a powerful effort which blasted against the inside of the post before hitting the back of the net on 2 minutes. Carlos Sarmiento's equaliser came through José RamÃrez as he seized on José Julio's mistake to score a penalty. RamÃrez had no trouble in scoring from the spot when Canales conceded a penalty. Valledupar's equaliser came through Andrés UhÃa as he seized on José RamÃrez's mistake to score a powerful penalty. RamÃrez had no trouble in scoring from the spot when Canales conceded a penalty. Valledupar were nearly gifted a goal on 59 minutes through Carlos Ramos' lapse in concentration but they failed to capitalise on the opportunity presented to them.
Striker Ricardo Vidal then equalised for Valledupar in the 80th minute with a well timed close range finish. The last goal of the game came from young full-back Wilmer Nobles whose 88th minute own-goal will undoubtedly cause him some embarrassment.
