Spectators: 152 (Terracing: 114, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Nico Paz got the match started through his kick off. 3 minutes into the match, Leones FC's goal looked a bit too open when Enzo Martínez came free, but Baltasar Meder reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 28th minute, Nico Paz ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Baltasar Meder was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. Serafin Hori kicked well hit freekick during the 31st minute of the match. Baltasar Meder made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Junior Ramiro in the 37th minute of play. Severino Ler had several of the MARTINETA's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 39 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 1-1 score and a disappointed Victor Galoer as he didn't even see the shot coming. MARTINETA's Victor Galoer proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 43rd minute of the match, managed to save MARTINETA from getting a goal against them.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Serafin Hori was the one to do the kick off. Carlos Santana fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 53rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Victor Galoer having to interfere. In the 55th minute, Carlos Santana made a precise shot to the right of Victor Galoer. MARTINETA's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-2. Serafin Hori sent away a hard shot on goal in the 58th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Leones FC's Baltasar Meder proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 63rd minute of the match, managed to save Leones FC from getting a goal against them. After 63 minutes, Mariano Peyo mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Leones FC and the MARTINETA players grew even worse after the yellow card. Mariano Peyo kicked well hit freekick during the 63rd minute of the match. Baltasar Meder made an important save on a dangerous shot by Enzo Martínez in the 69th minute. In the 76th minute the ball was on its way in behind Leones FC's goalkeeper Baltasar Meder, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 77th minute of the game, Junior Ramiro landed unfortunately after trying to head the ball, and pulled a muscle in the back, so badly that he had to leave the field. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Javier Dunixi during the 77th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. MARTINETA made a substitution. Gilberto Vargas replaced Junior Ramiro. After 79 played minutes Leones FC got a freekick which was hit by Javier Dunixi. After a defensive mix-up in Leones FC's zone, Uriel Cristos stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Baltasar Meder came out of the goal and Uriel Cristos tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. León Carrera struck a weak shot in the 88th minute. Baltasar Meder didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for MARTINETA. MARTINETA's Nico Paz got a good chance for a goal in the 93rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. With a little luck, Leones FC's Baltasar Meder got control of the ball when Enzo Martínez tried to sneak it across the goal line. Enzo Martínez could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 98th minute of the match, but Baltasar Meder made a huge save. MARTINETA were clearly unhappy with the draw, as they felt they had done enough to earn themselves a victory.
