Spectators: 161 (Terracing: 121, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Lopez Coteron took the kick off in the first half of the match. With an all-out effort, Herta Budino's Roman Barrufet threw himself towards the right post 11 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Andrea Lo Iacono, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Roman Barrufet made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Carter Melchiorre in the 13th minute of play. Beppe Mazzini's late challenge caught a Atlético Arenillas's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.

In the 59th minute the ball was on its way in behind Atlético Arenillas's goalkeeper Roman Barrufet, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 77 minutes into the match, Carter Melchiorre had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Roman Barrufet. Atlético Arenillas's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Carter Melchiorre was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-0. After a rather tough play, Herta Budino's Andrea Lo Iacono got a free kick in the 88th minute. If Zambrano Llanderrozos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute.
