Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Enzo Emenon took the kick off in the first half of the match. When Bernardo Gonsalve fell near the penalty area in the 13th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Deportivo Mandiyu's protests and gave Bernardo Gonsalve a yellow card for diving instead. Bernardo Gonsalve kicked well hit freekick during the 13th minute of the match. In the 15th minute Toni Nenchev shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Samuel Matxin saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

After some fancy dribbling in the 58th minute, Boncho Zhilev managed to get in a good position for a shot.

After 60 played minutes, DARAS's Iliya Kasabov shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Samuel Matxin came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in DARAS reached it. After a defensive mix-up in Deportivo Mandiyu's zone, Nano Mitrashkov stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.
