Spectators: 7227 (Terracing: 5422, Seating: 1662, VIP seats: 143) In the 2nd minute, Carmelo Ishmael hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Edgardo Selmo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Domingo Chorche made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Nicolas Sazon in the 12th minute of play. After 12 played minutes Visca Lepra got a freekick which was hit by Delmiro Cordero. 14 minutes into the game, Joker F.C's Juan Teodor nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Domingo Chorche made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1. Joker F.C's Mateo Primeiro played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Clodoveo Baudelio in the 20th minute of play. Clodoveo Baudelio struck a weak shot in the 21st minute. Mateo Primeiro didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Visca Lepra. Nicolas Sazon sent away a hard shot on goal in the 25th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 31st minute Juan Teodor shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Domingo Chorche saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Nicolas Sazon in the 34th minute of play forced Visca Lepra's goalkeeper Domingo Chorche to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Domingo Chorche took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Nicolas Sazon, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 36 minutes into the match, Juan Teodor had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Domingo Chorche. Visca Lepra's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Juan Teodor was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. Edgardo Selmo blasted a shot towards the goal in the 41st minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Mateo Primeiro having to make a save. An unexpected shot in the 42nd minute by Clodoveo Baudelio got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Nicolas Sazon in the 47th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Domingo Chorche saved Visca Lepra from getting behind. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-2 lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Clodoveo Baudelio was the one to do the kick off. When Delmiro Cordero was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 56 minutes had been played. A collision led to Visca Lepra getting a freekick after 56 minutes play. Delmiro Cordero hit a great ball. When the match had gone on for 65 minutes, Nicolas Sazon put it in 0-3 from a short distance just to the right of Domingo Chorche. With a little luck, Visca Lepra's Domingo Chorche got control of the ball when Juan Teodor tried to sneak it across the goal line. Nicolas Sazon kicked well hit freekick during the 70th minute of the match. Eleuterio Taurino kicked well hit freekick during the 80th minute of the match. Nicolas Sazon received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 81st minute. Domingo Chorche tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Joker F.C's Nicolas Sazon got a good chance for a goal in the 83rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Domingo Chorche was a little too slow when Nicolas Sazon got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 85th minute. The score was now 0-4. 90 minutes into the match, Joker F.C's Nicolas Sazon sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Domingo Chorche narrowly saved just below the crossbar. When the final whistle sounded Joker F.C left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Visca Lepra.
