Spectators: 174 (Terracing: 131, Seating: 40, VIP seats: 3) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ignacio Leira took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 3rd minute Olívio Salgado shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Urko Baezabal saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Urko Baezabal took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Olívio Salgado, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Urko Baezabal was a little too slow when David Garcez got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 10th minute. The score was now 1-0. 27 minutes had been played when some careless play by AlmaToran's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Lucílio Aveiro was slow to take the kick. During this time Bacardi Black Bats's players had a chance to rest. 31 minutes into the match, Taio Ponce had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Abílio Castelo Branco. Bacardi Black Bats's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Taio Ponce was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. Urko Baezabal showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from David Garcez in the 37th minute of the match. AlmaToran's Urko Baezabal played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Laércio Águas in the 38th minute of play. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for David Garcez to strike the kick off in the second half. A collision led to Bacardi Black Bats getting a freekick after 55 minutes play. Virgílio Lisboa hit a great ball. If Feo Yerro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 57th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Feo Yerro during the 67th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After 67 played minutes AlmaToran got a freekick which was hit by Feo Yerro. After some careless play in the AlmaToran defense, Lucílio Aveiro kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Urko Baezabal. The AlmaToran fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Urko Baezabal should have stopped the shot. 80 minutes into the match, Bacardi Black Bats's David Garcez sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Urko Baezabal narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Cristian Alejos charged in rather forcefully in the 80th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Cristian Alejos the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Bacardi Black Bats booed when AlmaToran was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 80 match minutes in a wonderful position. Cristian Alejos didn't get a good kick on the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Hector-Luis Salsoro in the 83rd minute of play forced Bacardi Black Bats's goalkeeper Abílio Castelo Branco to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 86 minutes into the match, Bacardi Black Bats's goal looked a bit too open when Hector-Luis Salsoro came free, but Abílio Castelo Branco reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. A collision led to Bacardi Black Bats getting a freekick after 88 minutes play. Lucílio Aveiro hit a great ball. Abílio Castelo Branco made a fantastic save in the 89th minute, when Taio Ponce sent off a good shot on target. In the 92nd minute, Lucílio Aveiro hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When the match had gone on for 97 minutes, Feo Yerro took a quick shot and it went in 2-2 without a chance for Abílio Castelo Branco to make any attempt to save it. The final whistle blew with the score still tied, and both teams left the pitch thinking about the missed chances that could have given their team the win.
