Spectators: 7203 (Terracing: 5404, Seating: 1656, VIP seats: 143) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Patricio Terciero got the match started through his kick off. In the 3rd minute, Joel Iratzeder got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. If Bernardo Ermengol had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 32 minutes of play, Bermellon FC's Elvio Richie made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Alvaro Honesto was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 36th minute Patricio Terciero shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Alvaro Honesto saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 36th minute of the game, Clodoveo Nabar landed unfortunately after trying to head the ball, and pulled a muscle in the back, so badly that he had to leave the field. After 36 minutes, Denis Isaio mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Valentino FC and the Bermellon FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Valentino FC's Denis Isaio got a free kick in the 37th minute. With a little luck, Valentino FC's Alvaro Honesto got control of the ball when Elvio Richie tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 44th minute, Elvio Richie got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Elvio Richie might have been able to make a better finish in the 47th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Alvaro Honesto. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Elvio Richie ran back to his position shaking his head. 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.

If Elvio Richie had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Bermellon FC's Elvio Richie managed to work through Valentino FC's defense and was going for an easy goal, but he hit the shot with his toe and the ball flew outside the goal. Elvio Richie dejectedly held out his arms as if to ask why the ball hadn't gone in. Emanuel Iaki made a fantastic save in the 63rd minute, when Bernardo Ermengol sent off a good shot on target. After a defensive mix-up in Valentino FC's zone, Elvio Richie stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Alvaro Honesto came out of the goal and Elvio Richie tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The audience thought a goal was coming when Bernardo Ermengol got free with Emanuel Iaki in the 76th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Julian Panpili in the 79th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Emanuel Iaki saved Bermellon FC from getting behind. In the 82nd minute, Christian Modestio left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Valentino FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-1. In the 88th minute, Elvio Richie left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Bermellon FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 3-1. In the 95th minute, Bernardo Ermengol fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Emanuel Iaki, passed just outside the right post.
