Spectators: 7284 (Terracing: 5465, Seating: 1675, VIP seats: 144) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Placido Sabino kicked off to start the match. When Nicanor Gomez came up free with the goalie in the 3rd minute, the Bocho´s Return 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 Nicanor Gomez couldn't finish the play. Leonardo Ekain showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Placido Sabino, who was totally free with the ball in the 8th minute. Eustaquio Esquipulas short, quick shot in the 10thth minute got Leonardo Ekain to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. In the 15th minute, Nicanor Gomez got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. After having played for 18 minutes, Eustaquio Esquipula managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ranquilcó's supporters crossed their fingers, but Eustaquio Esquipula was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Bocho´s Return's Benigno Oxel got a good chance for a goal in the 21st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After 22 played minutes Ranquilcó got a freekick which was hit by Clodoveo Iturri. Bocho´s Return were awarded a corner in the 24th minute after Ranquilcó's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Adan Muc took the corner. After 28 minutes, Remigio Romildo mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Bocho´s Return and the Ranquilcó players grew even worse after the yellow card. Herminio Cutberto, 29 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Bocho´s Return's Leonardo Ekain played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Placido Sabino in the 30th minute of play. After having played for 35 minutes, Nicanor Gomez managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Bocho´s Return's supporters crossed their fingers, but Nicanor Gomez was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Benigno Oxel fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 36th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Kenneth Tingelholm having to interfere. Cornelio Cilio might have been able to make a better finish in the 39th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Leonardo Ekain. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Cornelio Cilio ran back to his position shaking his head. Emiliano Pudes charged in rather forcefully in the 42nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Emiliano Pudes the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. When the match had been going on for 44 minutes, Ranquilcó's Herminio Cutberto got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Leonardo Ekain. If Benigno Oxel had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 48th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Benigno Oxel made a kick off. In the 54th minute, Eustaquio Esquipula made a precise shot to the right of Leonardo Ekain. Bocho´s Return's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-0. After a defensive mix-up in Bocho´s Return's zone, Silvano Toro stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Leonardo Ekain came out of the goal and Silvano Toro tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 61 minutes into the match, Bocho´s Return's goal looked a bit too open when Eustaquio Esquipula came free, but Leonardo Ekain reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. After a rather tough play, Bocho´s Return's Remigio Romildo got a free kick in the 73rd minute. After 74 minutes of play, Ranquilcó's Eustaquio Esquipula made it 3-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Leonardo Ekain was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 77th minute, Adan Muc hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Eustaquio Esquipula came up free with the goalie in the 79th minute, the Ranquilcó 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 Eustaquio Esquipula couldn't finish the play. After some fancy dribbling in the 81st minute, Cornelio Cilio managed to get in a good position for a shot.

Leonardo Ekain breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Leonardo Ekain came out of the goal in the 83rd minute to try and stop a shot by Ranquilcó's Eustaquio Esquipula.

Ranquilcó's supporters rose to their feet, but Silvano Toro was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Leonardo Ekain breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Leonardo Ekain took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Eustaquio Esquipula, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Ranquilcó fully deserved thier win.
