Spectators: 144 (Terracing: 109, Seating: 33, VIP seats: 2) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Urbano Sagrario took the kick off in the first half of the match. Franja Dorada's Venancio Hodei played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Tobias Mino in the 3rd minute of play. Fausto Elazar made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Urbano Sagrario in the 9th minute of play. Urbano Sagrario received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Fausto Elazar came out and tried to block the shot, but Urbano Sagrario slotted it home off the left post making it 1-0 in the 15th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Urbano Sagrario in the 20th minute of play forced Albiceleste F.C.'s goalkeeper Fausto Elazar to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 23 minutes into the match, Leonardo Paio notched a goal, 2-0, to the right of Albiceleste F.C.'s Fausto Elazar. Fausto Elazar was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Tobias Mino sent away a hard shot on goal in the 33rd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Urbano Sagrario struck a weak shot in the 44th minute. Fausto Elazar didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Franja Dorada. After 46 minutes of play, Franja Dorada's Urbano Sagrario made it 3-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Fausto Elazar was left in no man's land by his defense there! Af the end of the first half the score was 3-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Tobias Mino stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Eleuterio Normando's late challenge caught a Albiceleste F.C.'s player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Eleuterio Normando helped the player get up and apologised. In the 65th minute, Eleuterio Normando hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Fausto Elazar showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Urbano Sagrario in the 68th minute of the match. In the 68th minute, Silvano Llorienzo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Tobias Mino might have been able to make a better finish in the 71st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Venancio Hodei. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Tobias Mino ran back to his position shaking his head. A throw-in in the 77th minute of the game was made by Silvano Llorienzo with Aquilino Tajo as target, who quickly passed the ball forward. Adolfo Mendiko hit a great freekick 77 minutes into the match. After 82 minutes, Tomás Avellaneda mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Albiceleste F.C. and the Franja Dorada players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 82 played minutes Albiceleste F.C. got a freekick which was hit by Tomás Avellaneda. Franja Dorada made a substitution. Alfonso Palban replaced Urbano Sagrario. Tomás Avellaneda hit a great freekick 83 minutes into the match. Albiceleste F.C.'s Adolfo Mendiko quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Silvano Llorienzo, made in the 89th minute of the game. After a defensive mix-up in Albiceleste F.C.'s zone, Alfonso Palban stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Fausto Elazar came out of the goal and Alfonso Palban tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 96 minutes into the match, Alfonso Palban notched a goal, 4-0, to the right of Albiceleste F.C.'s Fausto Elazar. Fausto Elazar was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Franja Dorada walked away with a well-earned victory that was much celebrated by the crowd.
