Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Thor Husøy took the kick off in the first half of the match.

But to his dismay, Cayetano Salvidor quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. After 13 played minutes, Laguneros S.D's Jose Bernaldo shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Andres Beltxe came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Laguneros S.D reached it. Nigel Cochrane received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 16th minute.

When Feliciano Perfecto came up free with the goalie in the 40th minute, the Laguneros S.D fans jumped to their feet.
