Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Antonio Manilan took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 3rd minute, La Cicloneta FC's Fausto Restu seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Fausto Restu the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of La Cicloneta FC protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Fausto Restu had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. 2 minutes into the game, one of La Cicloneta FC:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. After 8 played minutes La Cicloneta FC got a freekick which was hit by Lucio Ovando. After 11 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for La Cicloneta FC! The referee gave Hipolito FC a penalty, 13 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Donato Frascuelo, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of La Cicloneta FC's Israel Gumaro. 2-0. Matias Garikoitz didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Apolo Oxarra went, in the 32nd minute, to the upper right corner, 2-1 was the resulting score. Danilo Bilintx fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 37th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Matias Garikoitz having to interfere. When Javier Loi came up free with the goalie in the 39th minute, the La Cicloneta FC 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 Javier Loi couldn't finish the play. If Apolo Oxarra had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 40th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 42nd minute, Javier Loi ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Matias Garikoitz was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-2.
