Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Santo Tavio took the kick off in the first half of the match. After a defensive mix-up in Winning Eleven's zone, Roque Rocio stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Saturnino Cresencio came out of the goal and Roque Rocio tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After having played for 16 minutes, Roque Rocio managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Millo Parana's supporters crossed their fingers, but Roque Rocio was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Dante Corderall took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Natalio Sabin, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Natalio Sabin came up free with the goalie in the 21st minute, the Winning Eleven 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 Natalio Sabin couldn't finish the play. In the 23rd match minute, Millo Parana was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Angelo Txerran to maneuver through the defense. Dante Corderall made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Natalio Sabin in the 29th minute of play. Saturnino Cresencio was out of position in the 30 minute of play, and Santo Tavio capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Santo Tavio really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. After 42 played minutes Winning Eleven got a freekick which was hit by Damian Gombal. In the 43rd minute of the match Pascual Colas shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Saturnino Cresencio showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Pascual Colas made a great header on Millo Parana's corner, it was just that Winning Eleven's Saturnino Cresencio managed to reach the ball for a save. After 47 played minutes, Winning Eleven's Mateo Corderro shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Dante Corderall came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Winning Eleven reached it. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

The wind increased when Gervasio Raphael made the kick off in the second half. If Roque Rocio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 51st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Igor Calvino's late challenge caught a Winning Eleven's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Igor Calvino helped the player get up and apologised. After 54 played minutes Millo Parana got a freekick which was hit by Igor Calvino. In the 55th minute Gervasio Raphael shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dante Corderall saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 57 minutes in the game, Gervasio Raphael fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Dante Corderall having to interfere. The supporters of Millo Parana booed when Winning Eleven was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 59 match minutes in a wonderful position. Honorato Lucero didn't get a good kick on the ball. Millo Parana's Roque Rocio got a good chance for a goal in the 65th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Saturnino Cresencio made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Roque Rocio in the 67th minute of play. Santo Tavio might have been able to make a better finish in the 68th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Saturnino Cresencio. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Santo Tavio ran back to his position shaking his head. 71 minutes into the match, Winning Eleven's Gervasio Raphael sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Dante Corderall narrowly saved just below the crossbar. After having played for 75 minutes, Roque Rocio managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

Gervasio Raphael sent away a hard shot on goal in the 87th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
