Spectators: 153 (Terracing: 115, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) Club Deportivo Águila's Libardo Fuentes started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. Fidel Uranga got a throw-in 4 minutes in the game and the ball was received by Alejandro Medrano. After having played for 5 minutes, Mariusz Rykaczewski managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. C.A. GUAYACO's supporters crossed their fingers, but Mariusz Rykaczewski was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After 7th play minutes Jimmy Estopinal shot 0-1, a short shot which went by Ricardo Peña and just under the crossbar into goal. When the match had gone on for 14 minutes, Jimmy Estopinal put it in 0-2 from a short distance just to the right of Ricardo Peña. Ricardo Peña showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Jimmy Estopinal, who was totally free with the ball in the 19th minute. Karol Haskiewicz made a fantastic save in the 23rd minute, when Libardo Fuentes sent off a good shot on target. If Marco Ureña had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Libardo Fuentes fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 43rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Karol Haskiewicz having to interfere. The Club Deportivo Águila players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. C.A. GUAYACO were winning 0-2.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Jimmy Estopinal was the one to do the kick off. When Marino Grazia came up free with the goalie in the 51st minute, the C.A. GUAYACO 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 Marino Grazia couldn't finish the play. When the match had gone on for 52 minutes, Marino Grazia took a quick shot and it went in 0-3 without a chance for Ricardo Peña to make any attempt to save it. Mariusz Rykaczewski scored 0-4 in the 63rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Ricardo Peña, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 65th minute, Marino Grazia ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Ricardo Peña was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-5. 68 minutes into the match, C.A. GUAYACO's goal looked a bit too open when Libardo Fuentes came free, but Karol Haskiewicz reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Jimmy Estopinal received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 72nd minute. Ricardo Peña tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. C.A. GUAYACO's Rodrigo Caborredondo was substituted for Mateo Coviella. Jimmy Estopinal had several of the Club Deportivo Águila's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 83 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 0-6 score and a disappointed Ricardo Peña as he didn't even see the shot coming. Karol Haskiewicz showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Alberto Pineda in the 86th minute of the match. If Marino Grazia had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 88th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 89 minutes into the game, Club Deportivo Águila's Alberto Pineda nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Karol Haskiewicz made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-6. C.A. GUAYACO's Karol Haskiewicz played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Libardo Fuentes in the 93rd minute of play. 95 minutes in the game Fidel Uranga did a throw-in, and the ball was quickly in game thanks to Alejandro Medrano. C.A. GUAYACO's fans were overjoyed with their teams well-earned victory and stayed in the stadium long after the final whistle to celebrate the win.
