Spectators: 7288 (Terracing: 5468, Seating: 1676, VIP seats: 144) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Danilo Polo took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 5th minute, Cebollar AFC's Bruno Lonzo seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Bruno Lonzo the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Cebollar AFC protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Bruno Lonzo had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. In the 4th minute, one of Cebollar AFC:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Cebollar AFC. Teodoro Eusko shot the penalty kick by force right in the crossbar. No goal. Diego Perpinya hit a great freekick 13 minutes into the match. Cebollar AFC's Arturo Lope played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Anacleto Otoniel in the 23rd minute of play. Anacleto Otoniel recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 25th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Cornelio Manilan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Anacleto Otoniel came up free with the goalie in the 28th minute, the Patricio Rey F.C 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 Anacleto Otoniel couldn't finish the play. 30 minutes into the game, Cornelio Manilan recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Arturo Lope. Cornelio Manilan showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-1. Arturo Lope showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Anacleto Otoniel, who was totally free with the ball in the 40th minute. In the 45th minute Anacleto Otoniel shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Arturo Lope saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Anacleto Otoniel received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 47th minute. Arturo Lope tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Anacleto Otoniel was the one to do the kick off. After 52 minutes, Anacleto Otoniel made it 2-1 with a short kick to the right side. Cebollar AFC's Arturo Lope tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 58th minute, Cornelio Manilan 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. After some fancy dribbling in the 59th minute, Ramiro Erauso managed to get in a good position for a shot. Cebollar AFC's supporters rose to their feet, but Ramiro Erauso was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Victoriano Liher breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Jonathan Bartoli fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 61st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Victoriano Liher having to interfere. When Ramiro Erauso came up free with the goalie in the 69th minute, the Cebollar 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 Ramiro Erauso couldn't finish the play. After 69 played minutes Patricio Rey F.C got a freekick which was hit by Leon Lucado. In the 72nd minute, Ramiro Erauso 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. Jonathan Bartoli's late challenge caught a Patricio Rey F.C's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Jonathan Bartoli helped the player get up and apologised. Ramiro Erauso fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 86th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Victoriano Liher having to interfere. Cornelio Manilan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 92nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Anacleto Otoniel sent away a hard shot on goal in the 95th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Patricio Rey F.C's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
