Estadio Cantadero
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Mario Chago made the kick off which started today's match. If Ramiro Bieito had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience thought a goal was coming when Benicio Elivareo got free with Justo Eleazar in the 4th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Mariano Salbatore came out of the goal in the 8th minute to try and stop a shot by Pipinas AFC's Gaston Ledesma. But to his dismay, Gaston Ledesma quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. Mario Chago fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 12th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mariano Salbatore having to interfere. Pipinas AFC's defense didn't have a chance, in the 19th minute, when Ramiro Bieito scored to the left of an out of position Justo Eleazar, making the score, 1-1. Justo Eleazar stood somewhat misplaced when Benicio Elivareo came free in front of goal and shot 2-1 to the left of him in the 21 minute. Mario Chago received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 26th minute. Mariano Salbatore tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Gaston Ledesma scored 2-2 in the 40th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Mariano Salbatore, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Mariano Salbatore took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Mario Chago, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When the match clock showed 47 minutes, the score became 2-3 when Mario Chago sped through Cantadero AFC's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Mariano Salbatore. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 2-3 lead.

Dalmacio Bingen hit a great ball. After a defensive mix-up in Cantadero AFC's zone, Mario Chago stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Mariano Salbatore came out of the goal and Mario Chago tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 76 minutes into the match, Cantadero AFC's goalkeeper Mariano Salbatore had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Gaston Ledesma. Mariano Salbatore showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Mario Chago, who was totally free with the ball in the 77th minute. Justo Eleazar made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Benicio Elivareo in the 78th minute of play. When Mario Chago came up free with the goalie in the 84th minute, the Pipinas AFC 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 Mario Chago couldn't finish the play. Gaston Ledesma recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 86th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Gabriel Evarado charged in rather forcefully in the 87th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Gabriel Evarado the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 88 played minutes Pipinas AFC got a freekick which was hit by Gabriel Evarado.

When Gabriel Evarado was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 97 minutes had been played. After 98 played minutes Pipinas AFC got a freekick which was hit by Gabriel Evarado. The Cantadero AFC fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Pipinas AFC were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
