Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Bernabe Orain took the kick off in the first half of the match. Ramon Rafe was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Bernabe Orain showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-0 in the 6 minute of play. 14 minutes into the match, Cristo Sandaili had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Serafin Austin. La Promesa Granate's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Cristo Sandaili was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. If Bernabe Orain had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 23rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a defensive mix-up in Chicago F.C.'s zone, Aquiles Osoitz stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ramon Rafe came out of the goal and Aquiles Osoitz tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When the match had gone on for 27 minutes, Bernabe Orain put it in 2-2 from a short distance just to the right of Ramon Rafe. After 30 played minutes Chicago F.C. got a freekick which was hit by Mauro Panpili. In the 31st minute, Justo Rosario sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Chicago F.C.'s Ramon Rafe didn't even have to move. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Ildefonso Flor during the 35th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. A collision led to Chicago F.C. getting a freekick after 35 minutes play. Ildefonso Flor hit a great ball. Bernabe Orain struck a weak shot in the 36th minute. Ramon Rafe didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for La Promesa Granate. Bernabe Orain received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 40th minute. Ramon Rafe tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Aquiles Osoitzs short, quick shot in the 42ndth minute got Ramon Rafe to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. 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.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Alfredo Ourente made a kick off. Alfredo Ourente fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 51st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Serafin Austin having to interfere. If Cristo Sandaili had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 54th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 57th minute Ariel Urki suffered a thigh injury and had to be helped off the field. When Gaspar Fernandez fell near the penalty area in the 58th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored La Promesa Granate's protests and gave Gaspar Fernandez a yellow card for diving instead. Gaspar Fernandez hit a great freekick 59 minutes into the match. Ramon Rafe came out of the goal in the 61st minute to try and stop a shot by La Promesa Granate's Bernabe Orain. But to his dismay, Bernabe Orain quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-2. After 63 minutes of play Chicago F.C.'s Ildefonso Flor was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. If Aquiles Hondo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Chicago F.C.'s Ramon Rafe played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Aquiles Hondo in the 71st minute of play. Cristo Sandaili recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 76th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When Aquiles Osoitz came up free with the goalie in the 84th minute, the La Promesa Granate fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Aquiles Osoitz couldn't finish the play. Teo Ramirez received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 86th minute. Ramon Rafe tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Mauro Panpili made in the 89th minute of the game a sloppy throw-in which Jeronimo Mendebal however managed to control. The audience was convinced that Bernabe Orain's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Ramon Rafe was relentless in the 92nd minute of the game. If Aquiles Hondo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 95th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead.
