Spectators: 7065 (Terracing: 5400, Seating: 1655, VIP seats: 10) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Erubiel Tristan made the kick off which started today's match. Christian Henrico fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 6th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Leopoldo Dimas having to interfere. In the 11th minute Emanuel Marques shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Leopoldo Dimas saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Lisandro Bela fired away a difficult shot at goal in the 16th minute. He almost succeeded, but the ball went over. It was a very nice shot. If Emanuel Marques had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 18th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a defensive mix-up in TOKALA FC's zone, Emanuel Marques stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Leopoldo Dimas came out of the goal and Emanuel Marques tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After having played for 22 minutes, Christian Henrico managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Poca Plata F.C.'s supporters crossed their fingers, but Christian Henrico was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Christian Henrico recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 23rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 26th match minute, TOKALA FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Gustavo Ariando to maneuver through the defense. Leopoldo Dimas made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Emanuel Marques in the 28th minute of play. In the 30th match minute, Poca Plata F.C. was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Christian Henrico to maneuver through the defense. Gualterio Iaki struck a weak shot in the 32nd minute. Mateo Raulo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for TOKALA FC. After a long run with the ball, Lisandro Bela did a trick in the 36th minute in front of TOKALA FC's goalkeeper, who threw himself to the side. After that it was simple to shoot 1-1. An impressive performance by Poca Plata F.C.'s Lisandro Bela! An unexpectedly hard shot by Emanuel Marques in the 45th minute of play forced TOKALA FC's goalkeeper Leopoldo Dimas to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. A collision led to TOKALA FC getting a freekick after 46 minutes play. Gregorio Fagondo hit a great ball. The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Emanuel Marques to make the kick off. In the 62nd minute, Gregorio Fagondo ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Mateo Raulo was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-1. Poca Plata F.C.'s Mateo Raulo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Rigoberto Solustiano in the 66th minute of play. Mateo Raulo took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Erubiel Tristan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Emanuel Marques fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 79th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Leopoldo Dimas having to interfere. 83 minutes into the match, Rigoberto Solustiano had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Mateo Raulo. Poca Plata F.C.'s manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Rigoberto Solustiano was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 4-1. The audience was convinced that Emanuel Marques's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Leopoldo Dimas was relentless in the 93rd minute of the game. The TOKALA FC support was delighted with a win in a match that could easily have ended differently.
