Spectators: 7216 (Terracing: 5413, Seating: 1660, VIP seats: 143) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Armando Mel made the kick off which started today's match. In the 5th minute Armando Mel shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Albano Domiku saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Lisandro Petrigai blasted a shot towards the goal in the 13th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Albano Domiku having to make a save. 2-0 became the score in the 16th minute when Armando Mel elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. Armando Mel struck a weak shot in the 21st minute. Albano Domiku didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Una Mantecaaa. The audience thought a goal was coming when Lisandro Petrigai got free with Albano Domiku in the 22nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Lisandro Petrigai sent away a hard shot on goal in the 27th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After some careless play in the Una Mantecaaa defense, Everardo Lekubegi kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Ignacio Dantel. The Una Mantecaaa fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Ignacio Dantel should have stopped the shot. An unexpectedly hard shot by Everardo Lekubegi in the 37th minute of play forced Una Mantecaaa's goalkeeper Ignacio Dantel to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Armando Mel in the 45th minute of play forced Anjullor FC's goalkeeper Albano Domiku to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Everardo Lekubegi came up free with the goalie in the 47th minute, the Anjullor 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 Everardo Lekubegi couldn't finish the play. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 3-1.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Everardo Lekubegi to strike the kick off in the second half. With an all-out effort, Anjullor FC's Ignacio Dantel threw himself towards the right post 51 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Everardo Lekubegi, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Geronimo Vargas fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 53rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ignacio Dantel having to interfere. 57 minutes into the game, Emilio Tonete was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Una Mantecaaa's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Anjullor FC the free kick. A collision led to Una Mantecaaa getting a freekick after 57 minutes play. Emilio Tonete hit a great ball. When Paulino Oroitz fell near the penalty area in the 61st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Anjullor FC's protests and gave Paulino Oroitz a yellow card for diving instead. Ignacio Dantel took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Everardo Lekubegi, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. With a little luck, Una Mantecaaa's Ignacio Dantel got control of the ball when Geronimo Vargas tried to sneak it across the goal line. Ignacio Dantel stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Everardo Lekubegi's shot from short distance in the 84th minute. Albano Domiku showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Lisandro Petrigai, who was totally free with the ball in the 86th minute. If Geronimo Vargas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 96th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Una Mantecaaa were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Anjullor FC for a fine match.
