Spectators: 144 (Terracing: 109, Seating: 33, VIP seats: 2) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Martin Asier kicked off to start the match. Mats Nyman succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 1-0 in the 4th playminute. If Nicolas Bizi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The supporters of Leones FC booed when Nacional de Rolândia was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 16 match minutes in a wonderful position. Harvey Elliott didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 17 played minutes, Leones FC's Arnaldo Leguizamón shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Victor Negri 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 Leones FC reached it. Amado Jordy kicked well hit freekick during the 18th minute of the match. After 21 minutes Leones FC's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Gabriel Quadros who took care of the corner kick. Nacional de Rolândia's Gabriel Quadros was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Leopoldo Lastur in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. The audience was convinced that Martin Asier's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Victor Negri was relentless in the 24th minute of the game. After a rather tough play, Nacional de Rolândia's Júnior Vander got a free kick in the 27th minute. The audience thought a goal was coming when Mats Nyman got free with Leopoldo Lastur in the 29th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Nacional de Rolândia's Victor Negri played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Martin Asier in the 35th minute of play. 41 minutes into the match, Leones FC's goal looked a bit too open when Harvey Elliott came free, but Leopoldo Lastur reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The audience thought a goal was coming when Júnior Vander got free with Leopoldo Lastur in the 43rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 45th minute, Mariano Peyo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 1-0 at half-time.

The wind increased when Saul Jaen made the kick off in the second half. Martin Asier could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 53rd minute of the match, but Victor Negri made a huge save.
