Spectators: 143 (Terracing: 108, Seating: 33, VIP seats: 2) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Mustafa Ali Tanyel started the match with the kick off. Elvio Opilano showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Mustafa Ali Tanyel in the 3rd minute of the match. Cristo Bingen showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ramon Richie, who was totally free with the ball in the 7th minute. Cristo Bingen made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Orlando Elivareo in the 10th minute of play. 12 minutes into the match, Ramon Richie had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Cristo Bingen. ROSGOL FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ramon Richie was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Ramon Richie in the 17th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Cristo Bingen saved ROSGOL FC from getting behind. In the 19th minute Geronimo Maria shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Elvio Opilano saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 21 minutes of play, ROSGOL FC's Federico Delfino made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Elvio Opilano was left in no man's land by his defense there! The audience was convinced that Ramon Richie's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Cristo Bingen was relentless in the 27th minute of the game. ROSGOL FC's Cristo Bingen played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Orlando Elivareo in the 28th minute of play.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Orlando Elivareo couldn't finish the play. After 32 played minutes Capitan Beto got a freekick which was hit by Bonifacio Abascal.

The wind increased when Ramon Richie made the kick off in the second half. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Ramon Richie in the 51st managed to get into a good position.

Ramon Richie took the ball and in the 58 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Cristo Bingen. Cristo Bingen dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-3. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ramon Richie in the 61st minute of play forced ROSGOL FC's goalkeeper Cristo Bingen to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 66th minute, Capitan Beto's Ramon Richie ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Cristo Bingen. Cristo Bingen yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-4. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Ramon Richie in the 72nd minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Cristo Bingen prevented the ball from getting in the gole.

The audience was convinced that Ramon Richie's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Cristo Bingen was relentless in the 83rd minute of the game. Federico Delfino might have been able to make a better finish in the 89th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Elvio Opilano. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Federico Delfino ran back to his position shaking his head. After a rather tough play, ROSGOL FC's Danilo Tab got a free kick in the 89th minute. Elvio Opilano took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Federico Delfino, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Ramon Richie had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 95th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
