Spectators: 4402 (Terracing: 3501, Seating: 901, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Cesar Ixidor took the kick off in the first half of the match. If Nemesio Eskuin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 6th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 7 minutes in the game, D.J. Benaskar fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Cristo Gonzo having to interfere. Nemesio Eskuin recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 8th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The supporters of LA PUCHA booed when C.A. Manzanos del Valle was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 12 match minutes in a wonderful position. Gualterio Marques didn't get a good kick on the ball. D.J. Benaskar succeeded in the game's 13th minute to shoot an unreachable shot under the crossbar and scored - 1-0. Elias Lucian fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 16th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Alejandro Fagondo having to interfere. Alejandro Fagondo showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Atilano Rioja in the 21st minute of the match. After 23rd play minutes D.J. Benaskar shot 2-0, a short shot which went by Cristo Gonzo and just under the crossbar into goal. In the 27th minute of the match Gonzalo Vermudo sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Cristo Gonzo skillfully saved the ball. Fabricio Napier hit a great freekick 30 minutes into the match. After a defensive mix-up in C.A. Manzanos del Valle's zone, Nemesio Eskuin stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Cristo Gonzo came out of the goal and Nemesio Eskuin tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 43 minutes had been played when some careless play by C.A. Manzanos del Valle's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Joel Gerber was slow to take the kick. During this time LA PUCHA's players had a chance to rest. Alejandro Fagondo made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Cesar Ixidor in the 44th minute of play. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 2-1.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Nemesio Eskuin made a kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Nemesio Eskuin in the 55th minute of play forced C.A. Manzanos del Valle's goalkeeper Cristo Gonzo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When LA PUCHA's D.J. Benaskar, in the 57th minute, received a pass right in front of the net, it looked like a certain goal, but his shot went outside. A wasted opportunity for LA PUCHA. D.J. Benaskar scored 3-1 in the 63rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Cristo Gonzo, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 67th match minute, LA PUCHA was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Gonzalo Vermudo to maneuver through the defense. Cristo Gonzo came out of the goal in the 83rd minute to try and stop a shot by LA PUCHA's Marcos Urdin. But to his dismay, Marcos Urdin quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 5-1. Marcos Urdin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 89th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Cristo Gonzo showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Marcos Urdin in the 91st minute of the match. After 93 minutes of play, LA PUCHA's Nemesio Eskuin made it 6-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Cristo Gonzo was left in no man's land by his defense there! There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. LA PUCHA fully deserved thier win.
