Spectators: 7158 (Terracing: 5350, Seating: 1665, VIP seats: 143) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Jonas Jeraldo took the kick off in the first half of the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 4th minute, Hugo Tulio managed to get in a good position for a shot. Fassi's supporters rose to their feet, but Hugo Tulio was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Epifanio Txindoki breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The supporters of Fassi booed when Helvecia was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 6 match minutes in a wonderful position. Filiberto Valery didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 7th minute, Osvaldo Manex sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Helvecia's Epifanio Txindoki didn't even have to move. After having played for 11 minutes, Jonas Jeraldo managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Helvecia's supporters crossed their fingers, but Jonas Jeraldo was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Jorge Urti who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 13thth minute tested the skills of Prudencio Prejun when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Jorge Urti could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 15th minute of the match, but Prudencio Prejun made a huge save. Mariano Barros's late challenge caught a Helvecia's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Mariano Barros helped the player get up and apologised. Mariano Barros kicked well hit freekick during the 16th minute of the match. Jorge Urti received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 18th minute. Prudencio Prejun tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Jorge Urti had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 21st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Fassi's Prudencio Prejun played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Jonas Jeraldo in the 35th minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Hugo Tulio in the 38th minute of play forced Helvecia's goalkeeper Epifanio Txindoki to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 40 minutes into the match, Fassi's goalkeeper Prudencio Prejun had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Jorge Urti. Epifanio Txindoki showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Hugo Tulio, who was totally free with the ball in the 43rd minute. In the 47th match minute, Helvecia was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Filiberto Valery to maneuver through the defense. 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 hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Faustino Nayely to strike the kick off in the second half. The supporters of Fassi booed when Helvecia was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 55 match minutes in a wonderful position. Uriel Macario didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Manuel Tuste fell near the penalty area in the 56th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Helvecia's protests and gave Manuel Tuste a yellow card for diving instead. After 57 played minutes Helvecia got a freekick which was hit by Manuel Tuste. After 57 played minutes, Fassi's Osvaldo Manex shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Epifanio Txindoki 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 Fassi reached it. With an all-out effort, Fassi's Epifanio Txindoki threw himself towards the right post 61 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Faustino Nayely, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. If Jorge Urti had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 67th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 69 played minutes Helvecia got a freekick which was hit by Jonas Jeraldo. 70 minutes into the game, Faustino Nayely recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Epifanio Txindoki. Faustino Nayely showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-1. The audience was convinced that Faustino Nayely's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Epifanio Txindoki was relentless in the 82nd minute of the game. Helvecia's Epifanio Txindoki proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 96th minute of the match, managed to save Helvecia from getting a goal against them. The second half was just like the first, even and exciting. The match ended in a draw.
