Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Fabio-Roman Ronaldinho started the match with the kick off. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Florencio Ferran in the 4th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Hermengildo Claude saved Miramar Is Back from getting behind. Lawrence Smoothy took the ball and in the 6 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Fabio Quintyn. Fabio Quintyn dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. After a defensive mix-up in Miramar Is Back's zone, Florencio Ferran stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Hermengildo Claude came out of the goal and Florencio Ferran tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 17 minutes into the game, Roberto Ayala threw the ball into play from the sideline. Miramar Is Back's Osvaldo Innocenzio quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. Florencio Ferran's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Hermengildo Claude read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 20th minute of play. Florencio Ferran came free with the goalkeeper in the 21st minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Hermengildo Claude could save by the left post.

Húsares were awarded a corner in the 24th minute after Miramar Is Back's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Ubaldo Kismi took the corner. In the 24th match minute, Húsares was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Josué Vargas to maneuver through the defense. When Roberto Ayala fell near the penalty area in the 29th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Húsares's protests and gave Roberto Ayala a yellow card for diving instead. Roberto Ayala hit a great freekick 29 minutes into the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 36th minute, Florencio Ferran managed to get in a good position for a shot. Húsares's supporters rose to their feet, but Florencio Ferran was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Hermengildo Claude breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 38 minutes into the match, Lawrence Smoothy notched a goal, 1-3, to the right of Húsares's Fabio Quintyn. Fabio Quintyn was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Florencio Ferran succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 2-3 in the 45th playminute. After the first half Miramar Is Back were leading 2-3. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Florencio Ferran made a kick off. Mehmet Akif Ayana hit a great freekick 53 minutes into the match. Florencio Ferran took the ball and in the 55 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Hermengildo Claude.

Roberto Ayala sent away a hard shot on goal in the 72nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The throw-in from Roberto Ayala in the 75th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Miramar Is Back's Ignas Beresnevičius. Hermengildo Claude made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Teobaldo Ibon in the 80th minute of play. Ignas Beresnevičius's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 86thth minute, Fabio Quintyn skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. In the 89th minute, Miramar Is Back's Fernando Ugaitz seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Fernando Ugaitz the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Miramar Is Back protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Fernando Ugaitz had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. Húsares made a substitution. Carlos Miliano replaced Maksymilian Wydrych. Hermengildo Claude came out of the goal in the 93rd minute to try and stop a shot by Húsares's Teobaldo Ibon. But to his dismay, Teobaldo Ibon quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 4-3. 98 minutes into the match, Teobaldo Ibon had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Hermengildo Claude. Miramar Is Back's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Teobaldo Ibon was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 5-3.
