Spectators: 7226 (Terracing: 5421, Seating: 1662, VIP seats: 143) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Rosendo Mede kicked off to start the match. After a rather tough play, CHESPIPERNAMBUCANO's Donato Cordeiro got a free kick in the 15th minute. In the 18th minute, Andres Frederik made a precise shot to the right of Teodoro Cugat. CHESPIPERNAMBUCANO's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. The audience thought a goal was coming when Sharma Manteca got free with Ruben Edwardo in the 26th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Rosendo Mede might have been able to make a better finish in the 29th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Teodoro Cugat. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Rosendo Mede ran back to his position shaking his head. Rene Corderro sent away a hard shot on goal in the 34th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After having played for 39 minutes, Rosendo Mede managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. VILLA GALICIA's supporters crossed their fingers, but Rosendo Mede was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Donato Cordeiro struck a weak shot in the 43rd minute. Ruben Edwardo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for CHESPIPERNAMBUCANO. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Sharma Manteca to make the kick off. 54 minutes into the match, VILLA GALICIA's goal looked a bit too open when Sharma Manteca came free, but Ruben Edwardo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 55 minutes had been played when some careless play by VILLA GALICIA's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Donato Cordeiro was slow to take the kick. During this time CHESPIPERNAMBUCANO's players had a chance to rest. Sharma Manteca fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 63rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ruben Edwardo having to interfere. Andres Frederik scored 0-2 in the 66th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Teodoro Cugat, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Sharma Manteca sent away a hard shot on goal in the 72nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Gualterio Herrera had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 74th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Sharma Manteca received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 76th minute. Ruben Edwardo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
