Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Santos Urtungo kicked off to start the match. Tommy Verhaghe scored 1-0 in the 3rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Hernan Eskuin, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After some careless play in the Macachín defense, Tommy Verhaghe kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Hernan Eskuin. The Macachín fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Hernan Eskuin should have stopped the shot. If Tommy Verhaghe had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Tommy Verhaghe fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 12th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Hernan Eskuin having to interfere. In the 19th minute Ubaldo Eron shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ciriaco Eduino saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 24th minute Hugo Orlando shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Hernan Eskuin saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The audience was convinced that Santos Urtungo's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Hernan Eskuin was relentless in the 32nd minute of the game. After 32 minutes, Paolo Milio mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Macachín and the Vitaliteam players grew even worse after the yellow card. If Hugo Orlando had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 36th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Hugo Orlando struck a weak shot in the 47th minute. Hernan Eskuin didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Vitaliteam. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

Tommy Verhaghe sent away a hard shot on goal in the 55th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When the match clock showed 57 minutes, the score became 4-0 when Santos Urtungo sped through Macachín's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Hernan Eskuin. 65 minutes into the match, Macachín's goal looked a bit too open when Tommy Verhaghe came free, but Hernan Eskuin reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 66th minute Vitaliteam were awarded a corner. Santos Urtungo went to the cornerflag to take it. The corner ended in Tommy Verhaghe almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Macachín's Hernan Eskuin did a great save. The Vitaliteam fans' excitement grew in the 66th match minute when Vitaliteam's Tommy Verhaghe looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 5-0 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. After having played for 72 minutes, Tommy Verhaghe managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Vitaliteam's supporters crossed their fingers, but Tommy Verhaghe was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After 78 minutes of play, Vitaliteam's Tommy Verhaghe made it 6-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Hernan Eskuin was left in no man's land by his defense there! Vitaliteam's Ascencio Iruleta was substituted for Tommy Verhaghe. When the match had gone on for 88 minutes, Santos Urtungo put it in 7-0 from a short distance just to the right of Hernan Eskuin. 93 minutes into the match, Ascencio Iruleta had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Hernan Eskuin. Macachín's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ascencio Iruleta was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 8-0. When the referee ended the match the Vitaliteam players were able to celebrate. They had won a fair victory and recieved the ovations of their fans.
