Spectators: 9206 (Terracing: 6906, Seating: 2117, VIP seats: 183) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Vicente Francesco kicked off to start the match. After a rather tough play, Enhebrator FC's Placido Kaxen got a free kick in the 2nd minute. In the 4th minute, Americo Lluc ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Nereo Pedroso was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. If Rene Diagur had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Eustaquio George charged in rather forcefully in the 9th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Eustaquio George the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Eustaquio George kicked well hit freekick during the 9th minute of the match. After 15 minutes of play, Sportivo Luan Toro's Americo Lluc made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Nereo Pedroso was left in no man's land by his defense there! Nereo Pedroso showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Rodri De Paul, who was totally free with the ball in the 17th minute. A collision led to Enhebrator FC getting a freekick after 21 minutes play. Aquiles Bautista hit a great ball. After a defensive mix-up in Enhebrator FC's zone, Americo Lluc stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Nereo Pedroso came out of the goal and Americo Lluc tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The audience was convinced that Vicente Francesco's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Gustavo Campagnuolo was relentless in the 24th minute of the game. After a rather tough play, Sportivo Luan Toro's Dionisio Belasko got a free kick in the 26th minute. After having played for 27 minutes, Marteinn Palermo managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Enhebrator FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Marteinn Palermo was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. If Uriel Berriotxoa had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 33rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Marteinn Palermo took the ball and in the 46 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Gustavo Campagnuolo. Gustavo Campagnuolo dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-2. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 2-2 after a close first half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Americo Lluc to make the kick off. Nereo Pedroso made a fantastic save in the 61st minute, when Rodri De Paul sent off a good shot on target. When Eustaquio George was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 69 minutes had been played. A collision led to Enhebrator FC getting a freekick after 70 minutes play. Eustaquio George hit a great ball. Sportivo Luan Toro's Desiderio Figueroa was substituted for Mariano Barto. Sportivo Luan Toro's Leonides Burutzagi was substituted for Jaime Peruanton. After 71 played minutes Enhebrator FC got a freekick which was hit by Eustaquio George. Rodri De Paul, 72 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Rodri De Paul could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 73rd minute of the match, but Nereo Pedroso made a huge save. 75 minutes into the match, Enhebrator FC's Vicente Francesco sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Gustavo Campagnuolo narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Enhebrator FC made a substitution. Ermegildo Endura replaced Rene Diagur. Enhebrator FC were awarded a corner in the 78th minute after Sportivo Luan Toro's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Marteinn Palermo took the corner. The corner went over the outstretched arms of Sportivo Luan Toro's goalie and right to Ermegildo Endura. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. Sportivo Luan Toro's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. Dionisio Belasko hit a great freekick 80 minutes into the match. When Desiderio Figueroa came up free with the goalie in the 82nd minute, the Sportivo Luan Toro 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 Desiderio Figueroa couldn't finish the play. The supporters of Sportivo Luan Toro booed when Enhebrator FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 88 match minutes in a wonderful position. Marteinn Palermo didn't get a good kick on the ball. When the final whistle sounded Sportivo Luan Toro left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Enhebrator FC.
