Spectators: 8473 (Terracing: 6356, Seating: 1948, VIP seats: 169) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Carlos Cesaro took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 3rd minute Quentin Francis shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Bartolo Beliran saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 7 minutes in the game Silvio Txerran did a throw-in, and the ball was quickly in game thanks to Gerardo Uzuri. Petruț Ailincai lost his temper 10 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. After 9 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for MARTINETA! In the 12th minute there was a penalty for Naboonga OFF. Evaristo Corderun stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Bartolo Beliran. 0-1. If Rafal Kaszubowski had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 18th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Cayetano Cordeara hit a great freekick 20 minutes into the match. Godfredo Cordarin made an important save on a dangerous shot by Lv Qiang Xiao in the 23rd minute.

Nacho Roca ran back to his position shaking his head. After a rather tough play, Naboonga OFF's Evaristo Corderun got a free kick in the 36th minute.
