Spectators: 6684 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1659, VIP seats: 25) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Zeledon Quintana took the kick off in the first half of the match. When Gavino Galeno came up free with the goalie in the 3rd minute, the A1 FC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Gavino Galeno couldn't finish the play. 4 minutes into the match, Rodolfo Eneto notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Conlara FC's Silverio Gartzea. Silverio Gartzea was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 9th minute Gavino Galeno shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Silverio Gartzea saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 0-2 became the score in the 10th minute when Gavino Galeno elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar.
