Spectators: 174 (Terracing: 131, Seating: 40, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Aimar Ojesto started the match with the kick off. Donato Losa fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 3rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Eleazar Vera having to interfere. In the 14th minute, Valhalla F.C.'s Nalo Perdices ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Eleazar Vera. Eleazar Vera yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-0. 18 minutes into the match, Valhalla F.C.'s goal looked a bit too open when Celedonio Latapiat came free, but Beila Abaunza reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 22 minutes into the match, CSD Concepción's goalkeeper Eleazar Vera had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Aimar Ojesto. The supporters of CSD Concepción booed when Valhalla F.C. was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 22 match minutes in a wonderful position. Nalo Perdices didn't get a good kick on the ball. If Dunixi Muste had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Donato Losa might have been able to make a better finish in the 28th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Eleazar Vera. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Donato Losa ran back to his position shaking his head. Henrico Menarte kicked well hit freekick during the 29th minute of the match. Eleazar Vera made a fantastic save in the 30th minute, when Aimar Ojesto sent off a good shot on target. After 39 minutes of play, CSD Concepción's Inocente Noguera made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Beila Abaunza was left in no man's land by his defense there! After a rather tough play, CSD Concepción's Paulino Achondo got a free kick in the 44th minute. After a defensive mix-up in CSD Concepción's zone, Nalo Perdices stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Eleazar Vera came out of the goal and Nalo Perdices tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 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.

In the 55thth minute of the game Raúl Wilshaw who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Valhalla F.C.'s Beila Abaunza was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. 60 minutes into the match, Dunixi Muste had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Eleazar Vera. CSD Concepción's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Dunixi Muste was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-1. Eleazar Vera took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Aimar Ojesto, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Nalo Perdices had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 66th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Aimar Ojesto's late challenge caught a CSD Concepción's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Aimar Ojesto helped the player get up and apologised. In the 69th minute, Aimar Ojesto hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Paulino Achondo hit a great freekick 75 minutes into the match. Nardo Massana took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 76th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Eleazar Vera. CSD Concepción's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Eleazar Vera showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Donato Losa in the 81st minute of the match. 83 minutes into the match, CSD Concepción's goal looked a bit too open when Nalo Perdices came free, but Eleazar Vera reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 85th match minute, Valhalla F.C. was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Sebastian Lebon to maneuver through the defense. 89 minutes into the game, Rioja Estebanez was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Valhalla F.C.'s manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave CSD Concepción the free kick. Rioja Estebanez kicked well hit freekick during the 89th minute of the match. The nice shot from Inocente Noguera in the 90thth minute just in front of the goal should have ended in point on the board, but Beila Abaunza had a great feel for the game and superbly saved the ball from getting in by the left post. Beila Abaunza made a fantastic save in the 91st minute, when Eufrasio Dueñas sent off a good shot on target. After a rather tough play, Valhalla F.C.'s Donato Losa got a free kick in the 93rd minute. For all the effort they put into the match, the CSD Concepción players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Valhalla F.C..
