Spectators: 6807 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1664, VIP seats: 143) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Christian Quinteros made the kick off which started today's match. In the 11th minute Esteban Handi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rolando Cayo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Esteban Handi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 13th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rolando Cayo having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Esteban Handi in the 16th minute of play forced River F.C's goalkeeper Rolando Cayo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 23rd minute Atilano Mantzio shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rolando Cayo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Esteban Handi struck a weak shot in the 28th minute. Rolando Cayo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Gondra FC.

Desiderio Horado hit a great freekick 31 minutes into the match. The long shot by Vladimiro Mateus in the 33rd minute really tested Nicanor Ignazio's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. Esteban Handi scored 0-1 in the 36th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Rolando Cayo, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Luciano Sidoro charged in rather forcefully in the 39th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Luciano Sidoro the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Luciano Sidoro hit a great freekick 39 minutes into the match. The River F.C players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Gondra FC were winning 0-1.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Esteban Handi to make the kick off. Celso Nuñez received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 52nd minute. Nicanor Ignazio tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Dario Merexildo in the 59th minute of play forced Gondra FC's goalkeeper Nicanor Ignazio to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

After 64 minutes of play, River F.C's Dario Merexildo made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Nicanor Ignazio was left in no man's land by his defense there! Nicanor Ignazio showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Dario Merexildo, who was totally free with the ball in the 68th minute.
