Estadio Anguilan
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The Bulls F.C's Natalio Nerio started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. In the 2nd minute, Godfredo Tanio hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 6th minute Tomas Ticho shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Simon Theodore saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Natalio Nerio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 11th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Jose Curcio fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 11th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Santiago Quilo having to interfere. If Natalio Nerio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 14th minute, Tomas Ticho 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. After a defensive mix-up in The Bulls F.C's zone, Santos Serapio stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Simon Theodore came out of the goal and Santos Serapio tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When Santos Serapio came up free with the goalie in the 23rd minute, the Anguilan 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 Santos Serapio couldn't finish the play. If Jose Curcio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Santiago Quilo showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Natalio Nerio in the 37th minute of the match. Tomas Ticho's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Simon Theodore read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 39th minute of play. The Bulls F.C's Cristobal Regis suffered a concussion after 45 minutes and had to leave the field. After a rather tough play, Anguilan's Baldomiro Frederico got a free kick in the 46th minute. In the 48th match minute, Anguilan was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Santos Serapio to maneuver through the defense. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Tomas Ticho was the one to do the kick off. After a rather tough play, The Bulls F.C's Tobias Paublo got a free kick in the 53rd minute. Santos Serapio fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 54th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Simon Theodore having to interfere. Simon Theodore made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Santos Serapio in the 58th minute of play. Baldomiro Frederico sent away a hard shot on goal in the 62nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 64 minutes of play, Anguilan's Tomas Ticho made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Simon Theodore was left in no man's land by his defense there! Santiago Quilo acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 71st minute, took the ball on the long shot from Emanuel Sendoa. Natalio Nerio kicked well hit freekick during the 77th minute of the match. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Anguilan fully deserved thier win.
