Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Clemente Hondo got the match started through his kick off. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Clemente Hondo in the 4th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Israel Normando saved 1910 from getting behind. The supporters of 1910 booed when LITTLE HORSE F.C. was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 6 match minutes in a wonderful position. Damian Acuña didn't get a good kick on the ball. Ciriaco Leguizamón charged in rather forcefully in the 8th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Ciriaco Leguizamón the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 8th minute, Ciriaco Leguizamón hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Isaias Bittor hit a great freekick 11 minutes into the match. Damian Bordat struck a weak shot in the 12th minute. Arnoldo Ermengol didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for 1910. 25 minutes into the match, Serafin Hibai had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Israel Normando. 1910's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Serafin Hibai was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. Israel Normando took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Clemente Hondo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 32 played minutes LITTLE HORSE F.C. got a freekick which was hit by Jose Federigo. Israel Normando took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bonifacio Ixidor, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Damian Acuña had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 36th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Bonifacio Ixidor sent away a hard shot on goal in the 42nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 45th minute, Serafin Hibai got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Norberto Gregory made a kick off. 52 minutes into the match, 1910's goal looked a bit too open when Clemente Hondo came free, but Israel Normando reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 54th match minute, 1910 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Damian Bordat to maneuver through the defense. In the 58th match minute, LITTLE HORSE F.C. was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by David Monico to maneuver through the defense. In the 59th minute, Damian Bordat made a precise shot to the right of Arnoldo Ermengol. LITTLE HORSE F.C.'s defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-2. After a defensive mix-up in LITTLE HORSE F.C.'s zone, Norberto Gregory stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Arnoldo Ermengol came out of the goal and Norberto Gregory tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Damian Acuña received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 70th minute. Israel Normando tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Andres Oton kicked well hit freekick during the 86th minute of the match. When Damian Acuña fell near the penalty area in the 88th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored LITTLE HORSE F.C.'s protests and gave Damian Acuña a yellow card for diving instead. In the 88th minute, Damian Acuña hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Israel Normando made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Clemente Hondo in the 94th minute of play. LITTLE HORSE F.C.'s players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
