Spectators: 7226 (Terracing: 5421, Seating: 1662, VIP seats: 143) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Octavio Lixandro took the kick off in the first half of the match. Octavio Lixandro received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 2nd minute. Nicolas Ordono tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Octavio Lixandro sent away a hard shot on goal in the 4th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 11 minutes into the match, Santos Hustaz had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Melquiades Perfecto. Do Stafa Do Lucro FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Santos Hustaz was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. Santos Hustaz charged in rather forcefully in the 17th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Santos Hustaz the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 17 played minutes Mozambique got a freekick which was hit by Santos Hustaz. 19 minutes into the match, Do Stafa Do Lucro FC's goal looked a bit too open when Prudencio Manuelo came free, but Melquiades Perfecto reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 24th minute, Octavio Lixandro managed to get in a good position for a shot. Do Stafa Do Lucro FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Octavio Lixandro was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Nicolas Ordono breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Esteve Endira's late challenge caught a Mozambique's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Esteve Endira helped the player get up and apologised. Esteve Endira hit a great freekick 27 minutes into the match. Angelo Oro made in the 31st minute of the game a sloppy throw-in which Aaron Gaitan however managed to control. In the 32nd minute Prudencio Manuelo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Melquiades Perfecto saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Hugo Lope in the 34th minute of play forced Do Stafa Do Lucro FC's goalkeeper Melquiades Perfecto to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Esteve Endira was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 45 minutes had been played. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 1-0 at half-time.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Christian Bittor was the one to do the kick off. In the 52nd minute, Tadeo Illan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. An unexpectedly hard shot by Prudencio Manuelo in the 54th minute of play forced Do Stafa Do Lucro FC's goalkeeper Melquiades Perfecto to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a rather tough play, Do Stafa Do Lucro FC's Genaro Rufio got a free kick in the 55th minute. In the 58th minute, Christian Bittor left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Mozambique fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-0. Nicolas Ordono was a little too slow when Natalio Ederono got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 85th minute. The score was now 3-1. Santos Hustaz received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 88th minute. Melquiades Perfecto tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Salvador Truylos might have been able to make a better finish in the 93rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Nicolas Ordono. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Salvador Truylos ran back to his position shaking his head. 94 minutes into the game, Octavio Lixandro was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Do Stafa Do Lucro FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Mozambique the free kick. The supporters of Mozambique booed when Do Stafa Do Lucro FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 94 match minutes in a wonderful position. Octavio Lixandro didn't get a good kick on the ball.
