Estadio Dúrham
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play.

When Donato Cilio came up free with the goalie in the 6th minute, the Newcastle United FC 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 Donato Cilio couldn't finish the play. In the 7th minute, Saturnino Ponce hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Donato Cilio's late challenge caught a Dúrham FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.
