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. Urbano Castulo started the match with the kick off. After 3 minutes, Grzegorz Figlewski mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the The Power Station and the C.A.U.V.K players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 3 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for The Power Station! The audience thought a goal was coming when Niceto Crescencio got free with Diego Selmo in the 5th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Diego Selmo made an important save on a dangerous shot by Guaberto Roldan in the 9th minute. Roger Short showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Filomeno Marko, who was totally free with the ball in the 17th minute. After 17th play minutes Filomeno Marko shot 0-1, a short shot which went by Roger Short and just under the crossbar into goal. Diego Selmo took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Urbano Castulo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 28 minutes of play, The Power Station's Grzegorz Figlewski made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

Filomeno Marko's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Roger Short read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 36th minute of play. The Power Station were awarded a corner in the 38th minute after C.A.U.V.K's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Elpidio Senon took the corner. Filomeno Marko sent away a hard shot on goal in the 44th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Filomeno Marko to make the kick off. In the 58th minute Urbano Castulo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Diego Selmo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Grzegorz Figlewski came up free with the goalie in the 60th minute, the The Power Station fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Grzegorz Figlewski couldn't finish the play.

After 75 minutes The Power Station's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Eloy Jurgi who took care of the corner kick. C.A.U.V.K's Eloy Jurgi was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Diego Selmo in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. C.A.U.V.K's Roger Short played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Filomeno Marko in the 80th minute of play. Roque Atarratze struck a weak shot in the 85th minute. Roger Short didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for The Power Station. When the match clock showed 85 minutes, the score became 1-3 when Filomeno Marko sped through C.A.U.V.K's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Roger Short. After a defensive mix-up in The Power Station's zone, Urbano Castulo stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Diego Selmo came out of the goal and Urbano Castulo tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.
