Spectators: 143 (Terracing: 108, Seating: 33, VIP seats: 2) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Lino Alfonso kicked off to start the match. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Lino Alfonso in the 7th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Basilio Garaona saved Lamarque F. C. from getting behind. After 8 minutes Lamarque F. C.'s defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Cristos Ponce who took care of the corner kick. Cristos Ponce made a great header on Madison's corner, it was just that Lamarque F. C.'s Basilio Garaona managed to reach the ball for a save. A hard and well directed shot from Cristos Ponce led 8 minutes into the game to a goal after the ball had bounced deceptively just in front of the goal. Lamarque F. C.'s Basilio Garaona became a little unsure and couldn't grip the ball before it was over the goalline. Thus it was 1-0. In the 12th minute the ball was on its way in behind Lamarque F. C.'s goalkeeper Basilio Garaona, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Mete Gol's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Basilio Garaona read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 14th minute of play. Lino Alfonso struck a weak shot in the 17th minute. Basilio Garaona didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Madison. An unexpectedly hard shot by Cosme Ayala in the 23rd minute of play forced Madison's goalkeeper Ernesto Emmanuel to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a rather tough play, Lamarque F. C.'s Cosme Ayala got a free kick in the 25th minute. 26 minutes into the match, Lamarque F. C.'s goalkeeper Basilio Garaona had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Mete Gol. Cristos Ponce made a great header on Madison's corner, it was just that Lamarque F.

In the 39th minute Lino Alfonso shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Basilio Garaona saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Alejo Marcones fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 42nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Basilio Garaona having to interfere. After some careless play in the Lamarque F. C. defense, Mete Gol kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Basilio Garaona. The Lamarque F. C. fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Basilio Garaona should have stopped the shot. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 2-0.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Maxi Moco to make the kick off.

Madison were awarded a corner in the 59th minute after Lamarque F. C.'s defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Cristos Ponce took the corner. The corner went over the outstretched arms of Lamarque F. C.'s goalie and right to Bartosz Salamon. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. Lamarque F. C.'s manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. 61 minutes into the game, Mete Gol cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 3-0. Basilio Garaona was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Basilio Garaona took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Lino Alfonso, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 64 minutes into the match, Lamarque F. C.'s goal looked a bit too open when Lino Alfonso came free, but Basilio Garaona reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 66 minutes of play, Madison's Mete Gol made it 4-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

Maxi Moco scored 4-1 in the 83rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Ernesto Emmanuel, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 86thth minute of the game Ás Ronaldo who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Lamarque F. C.'s Basilio Garaona was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. 87 minutes into the match, Ás Ronaldo had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Basilio Garaona.
