Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) In the 14th minute Flavio Lauro shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but You Sheng Qi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

A beautiful save bye La Herradura FC's goalie prevented a goal. With his leg Ariel Ponc managed to avoid a goal in the 45thth minute, when La Herradura FC's Ernesto Baldovino fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. If Ferdinando Buccella had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 46th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.
