Spectators: 7111 (Terracing: 5335, Seating: 1635, VIP seats: 141) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when 陆奕笑 took the kick off in the first half of the match. After a rather tough play, DEPREDADOR's Ernesto Bento got a free kick in the 4th minute. In the 6th minute Bigand were awarded a corner. Leonel Luzaide went to the cornerflag to take it.

With a little luck, DEPREDADOR's Teofilo Bide got control of the ball when Ruperto Hibai tried to sneak it across the goal line. The audience was convinced that Honorio Raulo's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Victorino Eutropio was relentless in the 11th minute of the game. Arnoldo Favila might have been able to make a better finish in the 18th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Victorino Eutropio. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Arnoldo Favila ran back to his position shaking his head. Ruperto Hibai recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 23rd minute.

After having played for 80 minutes, Honorio Raulo managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. DEPREDADOR's supporters crossed their fingers, but Honorio Raulo was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. With his leg Victorino Eutropio managed to avoid a goal in the 84thth minute, when DEPREDADOR's Arnoldo Favila fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. 陆奕笑 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 86th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. When 陆奕笑 came up free with the goalie in the 90th minute, the DEPREDADOR fans jumped to their feet.
