Spectators: 42 (Terracing: 32, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Csaba Tar made the kick off which started today's match. Hogwarts's Texeira Adan played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Lorenzo Viergol in the 3rd minute of play. Anselmo Genovese's late challenge caught a Barcelona de América's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Anselmo Genovese helped the player get up and apologised. Texeira Adan didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Zayvion Ispuzua went, in the 15th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. 22 minutes into the match, Barcelona de América's goalkeeper Gilmar Quadros had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Adrian Oces. With his leg Gilmar Quadros managed to avoid a goal in the 24thth minute, when Hogwarts's Csaba Tar fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Zayvion Ispuzua in the 26th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Texeira Adan saved Hogwarts from getting behind.

After the first half Barcelona de América were leading 0-3. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

After a defensive mix-up in Hogwarts's zone, Lorenzo Viergol stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

Barcelona de América's Lorenzo Viergol got a good chance for a goal in the 59th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Krišjānis Ābeļnieks had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 61st minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. The audience thought a goal was coming when Krišjānis Ābeļnieks got free with Texeira Adan in the 61st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After 68 minutes of play, Barcelona de América's Lorenzo Viergol made it 0-4 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Texeira Adan was left in no man's land by his defense there! Barcelona de América's Juan Guerrero was substituted for Eraldo Pittelli. 75 minutes into the match, Barcelona de América's Krišjānis Ābeļnieks sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Texeira Adan narrowly saved just below the crossbar.
