Estadio CAVERNARIO.
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Washington Deves got the match started through his kick off. Carlos Alberto Durango recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 3rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After having played for 4 minutes, Washington Deves managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. IMPERIO F.B.C.'s supporters crossed their fingers, but Washington Deves was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 5th minute, Remicio Arbildo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. With his leg Tauro Dittmann managed to avoid a goal in the 6thth minute, when IMPERIO F.B.C.'s Washington Deves fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Alarico Tiñoli during the 11th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The supporters of IMPERIO F.B.C. booed when Victoria FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 12 match minutes in a wonderful position. Alarico Tiñoli didn't get a good kick on the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Remicio Arbildo in the 17th minute of play forced IMPERIO F.B.C.'s goalkeeper Godofredo Iturralde to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Juan Miguel Almendras's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Godofredo Iturralde read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 23rd minute of play. 25 minutes into the game, Washington Deves lined in a short shot 1-0 behind a frustrated Tauro Dittmann. Lucas Manieu's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 29thth minute, Tauro Dittmann skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. The audience was convinced that Juan Miguel Almendras's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Godofredo Iturralde was relentless in the 30th minute of the game. In the 34th minute Washington Deves shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tauro Dittmann saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. IMPERIO F.B.C.'s Godofredo Iturralde played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Juan Miguel Almendras in the 38th minute of play. After a rather tough play, IMPERIO F.B.C.'s Omar Araus got a free kick in the 39th minute. Alarico Tiñoli hit a great freekick 43 minutes into the match. Leonel Alsina kicked well hit freekick during the 46th minute of the match. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Honorio Berganza to strike the kick off in the second half. Honorio Berganza fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 52nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Godofredo Iturralde having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Omar Araus in the 54th minute of play forced Victoria FC's goalkeeper Tauro Dittmann to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 55th match minute, Victoria FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Juan Miguel Almendras to maneuver through the defense. 63 minutes into the match, Victoria FC's goal looked a bit too open when Washington Deves came free, but Tauro Dittmann reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Cornelio Jory took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 64th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Tauro Dittmann. Victoria FC's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 67th minute, Washington Deves managed to get in a good position for a shot. IMPERIO F.B.C.'s supporters rose to their feet, but Washington Deves was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Tauro Dittmann breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 68 minutes into the match, Victoria FC's goal looked a bit too open when Carlos Alberto Durango came free, but Tauro Dittmann reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Tauro Dittmann showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Washington Deves in the 70th minute of the match. If Washington Deves had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 71st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 72 minutes into the match, Carlos Alberto Durango had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Tauro Dittmann. Victoria FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Carlos Alberto Durango was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-0. If Lucas Manieu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 77th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. IMPERIO F.B.C.'s Lucas Manieu got a good chance for a goal in the 81st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After a defensive mix-up in IMPERIO F.B.C.'s zone, Juan Miguel Almendras stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Godofredo Iturralde came out of the goal and Juan Miguel Almendras tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Tauro Dittmann took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Washington Deves, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.
