Spectators: 7441 (Terracing: 5582, Seating: 1711, VIP seats: 148) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Aristides Berart kicked off to start the match. Aristides Berart received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 3rd minute. Adam Claudiescu tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Octavio Beliran during the 6th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The audience thought a goal was coming when Ernesto Fernandes got free with Adam Claudiescu in the 12th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. With an all-out effort, Palermo4ever's Adam Claudiescu threw himself towards the right post 14 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Aristides Berart, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. 15 minutes into the match, Ernesto Fernandes had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Adam Claudiescu. Igarzábal's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ernesto Fernandes was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. Reynaldo Berasko hit a great freekick 29 minutes into the match. In the 31st match minute, Igarzábal was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Reynaldo Berasko to maneuver through the defense.

The referee showed Reynaldo Berasko the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 34th minute, Reynaldo Berasko hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Honorato Edwardo's late challenge caught a Palermo4ever's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.

The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 1-0.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Efrain Silbestre to make the kick off. When Efrain Silbestre came up free with the goalie in the 56th minute, the Igarzábal fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Efrain Silbestre couldn't finish the play. After 64 played minutes Igarzábal got a freekick which was hit by Honorato Edwardo. Adam Claudiescu showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Aristides Berart in the 68th minute of the match. Jorge Cordaro sent away a hard shot on goal in the 73rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Ernesto Fernandes recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 75th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 86th minute Ernesto Fernandes shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Adam Claudiescu saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 87 minutes into the match, Igarzábal's goal looked a bit too open when Ernesto Fernandes came free, but Adam Claudiescu reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. During the 93rd minute of the match Reynaldo Berasko completely mistimed his tackle and brought down his opponent. The referee gave Reynaldo Berasko a yellow card, his second in the match, which meant he could no longer take part in the game. There was no doubt that Palermo4ever were the better team. Palermo4ever's players enjoyed the ovations of the crowd after the victory.
