Estadio Gándara
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Saverio Vela kicked off to start the match. Bernabe Vedillo scored 1-0 in the 4th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Damian Chan, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After a rather tough play, Gándara's Alonzo Indalecio got a free kick in the 7th minute. Aaron Gregory was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 8th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. In the 11th minute, Elvio Erasto hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After some fancy dribbling in the 14th minute, Remigio Admon managed to get in a good position for a shot.
