Spectators: 147 (Terracing: 111, Seating: 34, VIP seats: 2) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Nestor Tesone got the match started through his kick off. Los Laguneros de AT's attentive Juan Simon managed to snatch the ball when Ramon Maurino made a throw-in in the 3rd minute of the game. In the 8th minute, Los Laguneros de AT's Nestor Tesone dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-0. 12 minutes into the match, Gryffindor Lions's goalkeeper Wilfredo Irrintzi had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Nestor Tesone. Santo Iraido charged in rather forcefully in the 12th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Santo Iraido the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Santo Iraido kicked well hit freekick during the 13th minute of the match. 16 minutes into the match, Gryffindor Lions's goal looked a bit too open when Nestor Tesone came free, but Wilfredo Irrintzi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 19 minutes into the match, Eustacio Gaxan had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Fabio Nabar. Los Laguneros de AT's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Eustacio Gaxan was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. If Nestor Tesone had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 29th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Gryffindor Lions's Wilfredo Irrintzi played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Nestor Tesone in the 29th minute of play. 30 minutes into the game, Gryffindor Lions's Manuel Tonio nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Fabio Nabar made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-2. In the 33rd minute Nestor Tesone shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Wilfredo Irrintzi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 39th minute, Eustacio Gaxan ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Fabio Nabar was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-3. Manuel Tonio scored 1-4 in the 45th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Fabio Nabar, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After the first half Gryffindor Lions were leading 1-4. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Froilan Astrada to make the kick off. Wilfredo Irrintzi showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Nestor Tesone in the 58th minute of the match. After 58 played minutes Los Laguneros de AT got a freekick which was hit by Pan Chao Yan. Nestor Tesone blasted a shot towards the goal in the 66th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Wilfredo Irrintzi having to make a save. After 70 played minutes Los Laguneros de AT got a freekick which was hit by He Yang. After 72 minutes, He Yang mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Los Laguneros de AT and the Gryffindor Lions players grew even worse after the yellow card. Wilfredo Irrintzi made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Nestor Tesone in the 79th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Gryffindor Lions's Eustacio Gaxan got a free kick in the 84th minute. Norberto Raphael hit a great freekick 89 minutes into the match. The throw-in from Simon Hori in the 91st minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Gryffindor Lions's Norberto Raphael. In the 94th minute, Nestor Tesone ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Wilfredo Irrintzi was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-4. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Gryffindor Lions eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
