Spectators: 7549 (Terracing: 5663, Seating: 1736, VIP seats: 150) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Froilan Guzman kicked off to start the match. 4 minutes into the match, Froilan Guzman had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Ubaldo Ibar. Academia Rosarina FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Froilan Guzman was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. 0-2 became the score in the 9th minute when Froilan Guzman elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. 12 minutes into the game, Piuke's Eloy Steven nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Ubaldo Ibar made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-3. The supporters of Piuke booed when Academia Rosarina FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 15 match minutes in a wonderful position. Rigoberto Milian didn't get a good kick on the ball. Eloy Steven blasted a shot towards the goal in the 20th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Ubaldo Ibar having to make a save. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Fausto Bernaldo during the 21st minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After a rather tough play, Academia Rosarina FC's Fausto Bernaldo got a free kick in the 21st minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Angel Regis in the 23rd minute of play forced Academia Rosarina FC's goalkeeper Ubaldo Ibar to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Froilan Guzman had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. With a little luck, Piuke's Prudencio Gonchan got control of the ball when Nicanor Casado tried to sneak it across the goal line. If Froilan Guzman had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 32nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Froilan Guzman sent away a hard shot on goal in the 40th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The audience was convinced that Eloy Steven's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Ubaldo Ibar was relentless in the 43rd minute of the game. In the 47th minute Academia Rosarina FC's Uriel Pietro on his own managed to get free with Piuke's goalkeeper and nail 1-3 by the left post. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The wind increased when Nicanor Casado made the kick off in the second half. Santo Urre struck a weak shot in the 54th minute. Ubaldo Ibar didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Piuke. Ubaldo Ibar made a fantastic save in the 56th minute, when Lino Gurutz sent off a good shot on target. Eloy Steven took the ball and in the 57 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Ubaldo Ibar. Ubaldo Ibar dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-4. A collision led to Piuke getting a freekick after 63 minutes play. Froilan Guzman hit a great ball. 65 minutes into the match, Piuke's goal looked a bit too open when Nicanor Casado came free, but Prudencio Gonchan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 67 minutes into the match, Eloy Steven notched a goal, 1-5, to the right of Academia Rosarina FC's Ubaldo Ibar. Ubaldo Ibar was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. With his leg Ubaldo Ibar managed to avoid a goal in the 70thth minute, when Piuke's Eloy Steven fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Froilan Guzman was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 73rd minute. Piuke'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 80th minute, Academia Rosarina FC's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Eloy Steven fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. After a rather tough play, Academia Rosarina FC's Benedicto Asier got a free kick in the 83rd minute. In the 86th minute, Santo Urre got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 92nd match minute, Academia Rosarina FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Tomas Matthew to maneuver through the defense.
