Spectators: 6666 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1666, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Dario Matxin started the match with the kick off. With an all-out effort, Desaguadero's Raimundo Sanduru threw himself towards the right post 3 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Elias Raphael, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Hector Frances fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 7th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Constantino Baumer having to interfere. After 16 minutes, Dario Matxin made it 0-2 with a short kick to the right side. Desaguadero's Constantino Baumer tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. After a defensive mix-up in Desaguadero's zone, Dionisio Suero stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Constantino Baumer came out of the goal and Dionisio Suero tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Jacinto Semeno shot from long distance in the 28th minute, but Raimundo Sanduru was prepared and stopped the ball at the left post. After 29 minutes of play, Macedo AFC's Dario Matxin made it 0-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Elias Raphael to make the kick off. 51 minutes into the match, Macedo AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Candido Mannie came free, but Raimundo Sanduru reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Dario Matxin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a little luck, Desaguadero's Constantino Baumer got control of the ball when Dionisio Suero tried to sneak it across the goal line. When Candido Mannie fell near the penalty area in the 56th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick.

Candido Mannie kicked well hit freekick during the 56th minute of the match. 60 minutes into the game, Christian Arano was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.

In the 60th minute, Christian Arano hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. An unexpectedly hard shot by Hector Frances in the 67th minute of play forced Desaguadero's goalkeeper Constantino Baumer to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 71st minute, Dario Matxin managed to get in a good position for a shot. Macedo AFC's supporters rose to their feet, but Dario Matxin was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Constantino Baumer breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Valentin Aurken recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 72nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Desaguadero's Constantino Baumer proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 74th minute of the match, managed to save Desaguadero from getting a goal against them.
