Spectators: 7321 (Terracing: 5492, Seating: 1684, VIP seats: 145) Mulcahy FC's Nicanor Bidari started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. Aaron Abilio's late challenge caught a The Ninja Vallejos's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Aaron Abilio helped the player get up and apologised. After 2 played minutes Mulcahy FC got a freekick which was hit by Aaron Abilio. After having played for 5 minutes, Haroldo Aguilera managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. The Ninja Vallejos's supporters crossed their fingers, but Haroldo Aguilera was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 14 minutes into the match, The Ninja Vallejos's goal looked a bit too open when Nicanor Bidari came free, but Angelino Sotil reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Nicanor Bidari in the 21st managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Angelino Sotil saved The Ninja Vallejos from getting behind. Angelino Sotil took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Aaron Abilio, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The audience was convinced that Aaron Abilio's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Angelino Sotil was relentless in the 27th minute of the game. Nicanor Bidari fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 36th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Angelino Sotil having to interfere. If Nicanor Bidari had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 40th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 42 minutes into the game, Mulcahy FC's Nicanor Bidari nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Angelino Sotil made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Haroldo Aguilera to make the kick off. After 50 minutes, Rolando Vincent mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Mulcahy FC and the The Ninja Vallejos players grew even worse after the yellow card. Isaias Gines charged in rather forcefully in the 53rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Isaias Gines the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Isaias Gines hit a great freekick 53 minutes into the match. In the 54th play minute Nicanor Bidari came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Angelino Sotil. 0-2. An unexpected shot in the 58th minute by Nicanor Bidari got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. After a rather tough play, The Ninja Vallejos's Anastasio Eder got a free kick in the 64th minute. Mulcahy FC's Isaias Gines managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Teofilo Romildo in the 66 minute of the game. The Ninja Vallejos's Angelino Sotil played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Aaron Abilio in the 70th minute of play. Angelino Sotil showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Nicanor Bidari, who was totally free with the ball in the 77th minute. After a defensive mix-up in The Ninja Vallejos's zone, Elvio Sidro stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Angelino Sotil came out of the goal and Elvio Sidro tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 84 minutes into the game, Teofilo Romildo was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. The Ninja Vallejos's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Mulcahy FC the free kick. In a very dangerous position, a player in The Ninja Vallejos fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 84th minute. Penalty! Leo Tavio kicked well hit freekick during the 90th minute of the match. Angelino Sotil showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Nicanor Bidari in the 93rd minute of the match. The Ninja Vallejos's Haroldo Aguilera couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 96th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Mulcahy FC. The The Ninja Vallejos fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Mulcahy FC were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
