The supporters of AC Fu booed when LEON FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 3 match minutes in a wonderful position. Rolando Dimo didn't get a good kick on the ball. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Kazimierz Piekarczyk in the 5th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Paulo Renato Coutinho saved AC Fu from getting behind. In the 8th minute Faustino Olando shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Anier Sanduru saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Faustino Olando took the ball and in the 8 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Anier Sanduru. Anier Sanduru dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1.

Paulo Renato Coutinho came out of the goal and Adan Panfilo tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.
