Estadio Balsalito
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. De-la-Cruz Murias started the match with the kick off. Balsalito FC's Gian-Carlo Bueno shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 4th minute of play. The shot was stopped by Quiróz Beltran but with some difficulty. After 6 minutes, Aguirre Guazo mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the CD Moya and the Balsalito FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 6th minute, Aguirre Guazo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a rather tough play, CD Moya's Aguirre Guazo got a free kick in the 9th minute. When Gian-Carlo Bueno fell near the penalty area in the 20th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Balsalito FC's protests and gave Gian-Carlo Bueno a yellow card for diving instead. After a defensive mix-up in CD Moya's zone, Estacio Munozcano stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Quiróz Beltran came out of the goal and Estacio Munozcano tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 30th minute, Ximenez Alsina managed to get in a good position for a shot. Balsalito FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Ximenez Alsina was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Quiróz Beltran breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 31st match minute, CD Moya was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Oso Barquin to maneuver through the defense. Ximenez Alsina received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 33rd minute. Quiróz Beltran tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Costante Verga in the 35th minute of play forced CD Moya's goalkeeper Quiróz Beltran to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Estacio Munozcano was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 37th minute. Balsalito FC's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. In the 37th minute, Estacio Munozcano ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Quiróz Beltran was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-0. Estacio Munozcano might have been able to make a better finish in the 46th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Quiróz Beltran. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Estacio Munozcano ran back to his position shaking his head. Ximenez Alsina fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 48th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Quiróz Beltran having to interfere. 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.
