Spectators: 7124 (Terracing: 5325, Seating: 1656, VIP seats: 143) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Victor Chayo kicked off to start the match. A collision led to Miramar getting a freekick after 4 minutes play. Mauro Lluciano hit a great ball. A hard shot 17 in the game by Rosendo Ladio from a close distance when the talented Arnulfo Xabel managed to make a qualified save. Miramar's players were relieved. A nice corner shot did that Sixto Innocenzio got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Arnulfo Xabel quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. An unexpectedly hard shot by Christian Berdoi in the 22nd minute of play forced Ibicuy AFC's goalkeeper Leopoldo Tiniebra to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 27 minutes into the match, Ibicuy AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Victor Chayo came free, but Leopoldo Tiniebra reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 32nd minute, German Vidal fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Arnulfo Xabel, passed just outside the right post. German Vidal received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 34th minute. Arnulfo Xabel tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 1-0 became the score in the 36th minute when German Vidal elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. In the 39th match minute, Ibicuy AFC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Bernabe Selmo to maneuver through the defense. Rosendo Ladio recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 42nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. German Vidal struck a weak shot in the 44th minute. Arnulfo Xabel didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ibicuy AFC. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when German Vidal stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. After 57 minutes of play, Ibicuy AFC's Rosendo Ladio made it 2-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Arnulfo Xabel was left in no man's land by his defense there! Rosendo Ladio received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 60th minute. Arnulfo Xabel tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Rosendo Ladio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 63rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 73 minutes into the match, Miramar's goal looked a bit too open when Rosendo Ladio came free, but Arnulfo Xabel reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 75 minutes into the match, Ibicuy AFC's German Vidal sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Arnulfo Xabel narrowly saved just below the crossbar. When German Vidal came up free with the goalie in the 76th minute, the Ibicuy AFC 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 German Vidal couldn't finish the play. Arnulfo Xabel made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Rosendo Ladio in the 81st minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in Miramar's zone, Rosendo Ladio stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Arnulfo Xabel came out of the goal and Rosendo Ladio tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Ignacio Xabel hit a great freekick 83 minutes into the match. German Vidal received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 87th minute. Arnulfo Xabel tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Victor Chayo in the 95th minute of play forced Ibicuy AFC's goalkeeper Leopoldo Tiniebra to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Ibicuy AFC had played much better football throughout.
