Spectators: 7280 (Terracing: 5462, Seating: 1674, VIP seats: 144) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Faustino Mannie took the kick off in the first half of the match. Lorenzo Oalo was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Norberto Marino showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-0 in the 5 minute of play. San Andreas's Antonio Ralondo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Faustino Mannie in the 9th minute of play. After having played for 11 minutes, Norberto Marino managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

Javier Peruxu struck a weak shot in the 15th minute. Lorenzo Oalo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for San Andreas.

With a left leg Lorenzo Oalo saved Tatay FC from getting behind. Norberto Marino sent away a hard shot on goal in the 48th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out.

The wind increased when Samuel Sabino made the kick off in the second half. In the 54th minute of the match San Andreas got a corner. Tatay FC's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Valentin Duarte ran over to the corner to take the kick.

After a defensive mix-up in San Andreas's zone, Faustino Mannie stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

Gogo Artal charged in rather forcefully in the 92nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Gogo Artal the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 92nd minute, Gogo Artal hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The supporters of Tatay FC booed when San Andreas was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 95 match minutes in a wonderful position. Valentin Duarte didn't get a good kick on the ball. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. San Andreas fully deserved thier win.
