Spectators: 7331 (Terracing: 5500, Seating: 1686, VIP seats: 145) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Lucio Xabier took the kick off in the first half of the match. When Tobias Tiadoro came up free with the goalie in the 3rd minute, the CSyD UNION 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 Tobias Tiadoro couldn't finish the play. 14 minutes into the game, Celso Viviano cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-0. Genaro Erdiano was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. An unexpectedly hard shot by Norberto Indartsu in the 21st minute of play forced Ciudadela F.C.'s goalkeeper Genaro Erdiano to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 26 minutes into the game, Ciudadela F.C.'s Prospero Dimas nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Ernesto Cordaryal made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-1. Tobias Tiadoro didn't miss a given chance and shot in short distance 2-1 via right post in the game's 30th minute. CSyD UNION's supporters showed their exhuberating excitement! 33 minutes into the match, Ciudadela F.C.'s goalkeeper Genaro Erdiano had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Tobias Tiadoro. After some fancy dribbling in the 35th minute, Herminio Medina managed to get in a good position for a shot. CSyD UNION's supporters rose to their feet, but Herminio Medina was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Genaro Erdiano breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Lucio Xabier was extremely unlucky when he, in the 38th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. 40 minutes into the game, Pedro Mazuste was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.

In the 40th minute, Pedro Mazuste hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Tobias Tiadoro fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 42nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Genaro Erdiano having to interfere. Ciudadela F.C.'s Genaro Erdiano played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Lucio Xabier in the 44th minute of play. Lucio Xabiers short, quick shot in the 46thth minute got Genaro Erdiano to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. After a defensive mix-up in CSyD UNION's zone, Prospero Dimas stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ernesto Cordaryal came out of the goal and Prospero Dimas tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-1 at half-time.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Prospero Dimas was the one to do the kick off. 52 minutes into the match, Tobias Tiadoro notched a goal, 3-1, to the right of Ciudadela F.C.'s Genaro Erdiano. Genaro Erdiano was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. The audience was convinced that Lucio Xabier's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Genaro Erdiano was relentless in the 56th minute of the game. After 58 played minutes Ciudadela F.C. got a freekick which was hit by Pedro Mazuste. When CSyD UNION's Lucio Xabier in the 61st minute got a chance for a shot 61st didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Ciudadela F.C.'s goalie prevented a goal. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Lucio Xabier in the 62nd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Genaro Erdiano saved Ciudadela F.C. from getting behind. If Tobias Tiadoro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 67th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Remigio Lopez during the 68th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After 68 played minutes Ciudadela F.C. got a freekick which was hit by Remigio Lopez. Tobias Tiadoro received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 73rd minute.

CSyD UNION's Lucio Xabier got a good chance for a goal in the 79th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In a very dangerous position, a player in Ciudadela F.C. fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 84th minute. Penalty!

After 89 played minutes CSyD UNION got a freekick which was hit by Astor Roldanillo. Gervasio Lixandro took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 90th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Ernesto Cordaryal. CSyD UNION's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Lucio Xabier might have been able to make a better finish in the 96th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Genaro Erdiano. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Lucio Xabier ran back to his position shaking his head. CSyD UNION's supporters were delighted with their team's performance and swarmed onto the pitch at the end of the match to celebrate the victory with the players.
