Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Astor Guib got the match started through his kick off. Daniel Moron took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Astor Guib, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Ñacuñán AC's Pedro Mercurio played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Gregorio Gagriel in the 5th minute of play. In the 6th minute Luis Bartoleme shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Daniel Moron saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Pedro Mercurio was out of position in the 12 minute of play, and Leopoldo Liberto capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Leopoldo Liberto really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. With a little luck, Ñacuñán AC's Pedro Mercurio got control of the ball when Leopoldo Liberto tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 21st minute the ball was on its way in behind Ñacuñán AC's goalkeeper Pedro Mercurio, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After 22 minutes Ñacuñán AC's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Gregorio Gagriel who took care of the corner kick. Boulogne del Ciclón's Dalmacio Onbera was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Pedro Mercurio in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. After 23 minutes, Elpidio Ekain mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Ñacuñán AC and the Boulogne del Ciclón players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 23rd minute, Elpidio Ekain hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Boulogne del Ciclón's Sandro Moreira was substituted for Feliberto Lopez. Jonatan Raymundo made in the 27th minute of the game a sloppy throw-in which Astor Guib however managed to control. If Natalio Roldanillo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Elpidio Ekain in the 35th minute of play forced Boulogne del Ciclón's goalkeeper Daniel Moron to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 37 minutes Boulogne del Ciclón's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Cosme Lauaxeta who took care of the corner kick. After taking down the ball on Ñacuñán AC's corner Cosme Lauaxeta fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and Daniel Moron quite easily take care of the ball. After a rather tough play, Ñacuñán AC's Colin Probert got a free kick in the 41st minute. Leopoldo Liberto struck a weak shot in the 42nd minute. Pedro Mercurio didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Boulogne del Ciclón.
