Spectators: 7197 (Terracing: 5432, Seating: 1665, VIP seats: 100) Bandera's Jacobo Escobar started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. In the 9th minute Ovidio Sotero shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Iker Tohias saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a rather tough play, RojodeCopas's Elpidio Quinito got a free kick in the 9th minute.

Ovidio Sotero recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 19th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Bandera's Cristian Amor proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 22nd minute of the match, managed to save Bandera from getting a goal against them. If Ovidio Sotero had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 23rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Jacobo Escobar came up free with the goalie in the 27th minute, the Bandera 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 Jacobo Escobar couldn't finish the play. Justo Sanson took the ball and in the 32 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Cristian Amor. Cristian Amor dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-0. Cristian Amor showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Eduardo Bonifaco in the 37th minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ovidio Sotero in the 38th minute of play forced RojodeCopas's goalkeeper Iker Tohias to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 44th minute, Ovidio Musko hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Freddy Sabino missed a clear chance of a goal when in the 47 minute of the game fired away a shot, but unfortunally the ball went out to the Iker Tohias right hand side. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-0 at half-time.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Eduardo Bonifaco stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Iker Tohias took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Jacobo Escobar, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 62 minutes into the match, Bandera's goal looked a bit too open when Eduardo Bonifaco came free, but Cristian Amor reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Jacobo Escobar's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Iker Tohias read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 63rd minute of play.

In the 98th minute, Ovidio Sotero made a precise shot to the right of Iker Tohias. RojodeCopas's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-4. When the match was over Bandera could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than RojodeCopas throughout the match.
