Spectators: 6656 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1656, VIP seats: 0) Zeus AC's Arnulfo Dino 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. An unexpectedly hard shot by Salvador Nicholas in the 12th minute of play forced Zeus AC's goalkeeper Braulio Gomez to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Arnulfo Dino fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 17th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Osvaldo Ekhi having to interfere. Erubiel Cresenciano hit a great freekick 19 minutes into the match. After having played for 21 minutes, Enzo Machado managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Coraya's supporters crossed their fingers, but Enzo Machado was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Zeus AC's Braulio Gomez proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 25th minute of the match, managed to save Zeus AC from getting a goal against them. When Salvador Nicholas came up free with the goalie in the 26th minute, the Coraya 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 Salvador Nicholas couldn't finish the play. Salvador Nicholas's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Braulio Gomez read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 28th minute of play. The supporters of Coraya booed when Zeus AC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 29 match minutes in a wonderful position. Serafino Palben didn't get a good kick on the ball.

Enzo Machado received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 32nd minute. Braulio Gomez tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Braulio Gomez showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Salvador Nicholas in the 39th minute of the match. If Erubiel Cresenciano had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Salvador Nicholas was the one to do the kick off. Gaspar George kicked well hit freekick during the 53rd minute of the match. In the 54th minute, Froilan Veto sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Coraya's Osvaldo Ekhi didn't even have to move. After 61 minutes of play, Coraya's Enzo Machado made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Braulio Gomez was left in no man's land by his defense there! Teobaldo Inguma's late challenge caught a Zeus AC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Teobaldo Inguma helped the player get up and apologised. In the 65th match minute, Coraya was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Teobaldo Inguma to maneuver through the defense.

An unexpected shot in the 67th minute by Erubiel Cresenciano got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. When Anastasio Ranolfo fell near the penalty area in the 75th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Zeus AC's protests and gave Anastasio Ranolfo a yellow card for diving instead. Fabian Nesto was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 76th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Serafino Palben kicked well hit freekick during the 81st minute of the match. Enzo Machado received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 84th minute.
