Spectators: 6600 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1500, VIP seats: 100) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Ariel Lehen started the match with the kick off. 16 minutes into the match, Crows FC's goalkeeper Gregorio Santiago had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Humberto Lamberto. If Humberto Lamberto had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 18th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. From close distance Bernabe Quinten pressed in the 2-0 goal high up into nets stiches in the right cross 19 minutes into the game.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Bernabe Quinten was the one to do the kick off.

Gregorio Santiago didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Humberto Lamberto went, in the 86th minute, to the upper right corner, 4-1 was the resulting score. The audience was convinced that Bernabe Quinten's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Gregorio Santiago was relentless in the 90th minute of the game. Cristian Salomon recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 92nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.
