Spectators: 7068 (Terracing: 5303, Seating: 1625, VIP seats: 140) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Evaristo Kepa kicked off to start the match.

Carolo Txanton sent away a hard shot on goal in the 9th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Evaristo Kepa took the ball and in the 12 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Dante Primo. Dante Primo dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. 20 minutes into the match, Pichanas AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Evaristo Kepa came free, but Dante Primo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Pichanas AFC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Carolo Txanton was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. Elpidio Polo charged in rather forcefully in the 44th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Elpidio Polo the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.
