Spectators: 6677 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1677, VIP seats: 0) Pocho's Carmelo Azevedo 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. Machete FC's Ubaldo Matildo Clemente proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 5th minute of the match, managed to save Machete FC from getting a goal against them. The audience was convinced that Albino Eduino's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Anier Cordario was relentless in the 19th minute of the game. Carmelo Azevedo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 20th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Machete FC's Marcelino Sabino got a good chance for a goal in the 23rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Anier Cordario made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Albino Eduino in the 31st minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Marcelino Sabino in the 36th minute of play forced Pocho's goalkeeper Anier Cordario to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The Machete FC fans' excitement grew in the 47th match minute when Machete FC's Albino Eduino looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 0-2 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. The Pocho players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Machete FC were winning 0-2.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Albino Eduino to make the kick off. 52 minutes into the game, Ovidio Millano was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Pocho's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Machete FC the free kick. Ovidio Millano kicked well hit freekick during the 52nd minute of the match. If Marcelino Sabino had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 54th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Ubaldo Matildo Clemente took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Edgardo Bortzaioriz, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Marcelino Sabino had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 73rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 89 minutes into the match, Pocho's goal looked a bit too open when Marcelino Sabino came free, but Anier Cordario reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Fulgencio Bernad kicked well hit freekick during the 94th minute of the match. Machete FC's fans were overjoyed with their teams well-earned victory and stayed in the stadium long after the final whistle to celebrate the win.
