Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Alejo Baraquiel started the match with the kick off. The attack was good, but when Alejo Baraquiel in the 3rd minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 5th minute, Julian Indar managed to get in a good position for a shot. Titán F.C.'s supporters rose to their feet, but Julian Indar was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Emiliano Lando breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 6th minute, Lázaro Illan made a precise shot to the right of Emiliano Lando. C.A. Fortín Barracas's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-0. Ambrosio Fiz blasted a shot towards the goal in the 10th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Cornelio Cordario having to make a save. Adrian Su took the ball and in the 14 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Cornelio Cordario.

In the 34th minute, Lázaro Illan made a precise shot to the right of Emiliano Lando. C.A. Fortín Barracas's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-3. When Alejo Baraquiel came up free with the goalie in the 41st minute, the Titán F.C. 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 Alejo Baraquiel couldn't finish the play. Julian Indar struck a weak shot in the 43rd minute. Emiliano Lando didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Titán F.C..

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Adrian Su to strike the kick off in the second half. If Lázaro Illan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. A collision led to Titán F.C. getting a freekick after 54 minutes play. Antonio Dantel hit a great ball. Titán F.C.'s Antonio Dantel quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Miguel Padro, made in the 58th minute of the game.

Titán F.C.'s Cornelio Uzuri was substituted for Delmar Benat. In the 73rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Titán F.C.'s goalkeeper Cornelio Cordario, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.
