Spectators: 6660 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1660, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Tobias Victoro got the match started through his kick off. If Abelardo Hanni had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 4th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With his leg Benjamin Lobo managed to avoid a goal in the 5thth minute, when Simbolar's Nemesio Berbiz fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Nemesio Berbiz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 7th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

MONSTERS's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Simbolar the free kick. A collision led to MONSTERS getting a freekick after 18 minutes play. Pablo Bastia hit a great ball. 20 minutes into the match, Simbolar's goal looked a bit too open when Tobias Victoro came free, but Maximino Colas reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 23 minutes into the match, MONSTERS's goalkeeper Benjamin Lobo had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Nemesio Berbiz. Maximino Colas stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Tobias Victoro's shot from short distance in the 25th minute. 30 minutes into the match, Rogelio Beltran had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Maximino Colas. Simbolar's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Rogelio Beltran was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. In the 34thth minute of the game Tobias Victoro who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Simbolar's Maximino Colas was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball.

Benjamin Lobo made a fantastic save in the 39th minute, when Nemesio Berbiz sent off a good shot on target. After 47 played minutes, Simbolar's Rafael Justin shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Benjamin Lobo 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 Simbolar reached it. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

53 minutes had been played when some careless play by MONSTERS's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Abel Delfino was slow to take the kick. During this time Simbolar's players had a chance to rest. Simbolar's Abel Delfino was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Benjamin Lobo in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. 56 minutes into the match, Simbolar's Nemesio Berbiz sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Benjamin Lobo narrowly saved just below the crossbar.

Simbolar's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave MONSTERS the free kick. Celso Tibalt kicked well hit freekick during the 62nd minute of the match. In the 64th minute the ball was on its way in behind Simbolar's goalkeeper Maximino Colas, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The audience was convinced that Leonel Elivareo's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Benjamin Lobo was relentless in the 70th minute of the game. Nemesio Berbiz took the ball and in the 72 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Benjamin Lobo. Benjamin Lobo dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1.
