Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Estación Q.'s Paulinho Gonçalves 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. In the 3rd minute, Maximino Cabezon got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 8th minute, Maximino Cabezon ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Arif Nihat Yıldıray was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. ACF Fiorentina's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Ciriaco Urdaspal in the 16th minute. Maximino Cabezon blasted a shot towards the goal in the 20th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Arif Nihat Yıldıray having to make a save. Estación Q.'s Arif Nihat Yıldıray played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Maximino Cabezon in the 42nd minute of play. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Rigoberto Rozarius kicked well hit freekick during the 56th minute of the match. Estación Q. made a substitution. Tadeo Lesardo replaced Paulinho Gonçalves. The supporters of Estación Q. booed when ACF Fiorentina was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 57 match minutes in a wonderful position. Rigoberto Rozarius didn't get a good kick on the ball. Maximino Cabezon sent away a hard shot on goal in the 61st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Claudinei Velloso came out of the goal in the 63rd minute to try and stop a shot by Estación Q.'s Tadeo Lesardo. But to his dismay, Tadeo Lesardo quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. 70 minutes into the match, Tadeo Lesardo notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of ACF Fiorentina's Claudinei Velloso. Claudinei Velloso was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Hector Abadia might have been able to make a better finish in the 84th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Claudinei Velloso. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Hector Abadia ran back to his position shaking his head. 84 minutes into the match, Estación Q.'s Hector Abadia sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Claudinei Velloso narrowly saved just below the crossbar. 88 minutes into the match, Estación Q.'s goal looked a bit too open when Federico Teofilio came free, but Arif Nihat Yıldıray reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 89 minutes, Ariel Jesus made it 2-2 with a short kick to the right side. Estación Q.'s Arif Nihat Yıldıray tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Arif Nihat Yıldıray took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Godofredo Suarez, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 94 minutes into the game, ACF Fiorentina's Ariel Jesus nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Arif Nihat Yıldıray made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 2-3. The ACF Fiorentina supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing ACF Fiorentina would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
