Spectators: 6794 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1652, VIP seats: 142) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Cayetano Rodriguez kicked off to start the match. Aquiles Benitez went to the wrong direction when Alex Quirino was taking care of the penalty kick which however missed the goal. After having played for 8 minutes, Americo Teodor managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Balcosna's supporters crossed their fingers, but Americo Teodor was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Aquiles Benitez took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Emilio Jaume, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Nicanor Ayala fell near the penalty area in the 13th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Americo Teodor to make the kick off.
