Spectators: 7886 (Terracing: 5915, Seating: 1814, VIP seats: 157) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Benjamin Blas started the match with the kick off. Adalberto Abella sent away a hard shot on goal in the 3rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 5th minute the ball was on its way in behind Pajal FC's goalkeeper Roegelio Pontones, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Emanuel Elixio who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 7thth minute tested the skills of Roegelio Pontones when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Benvide Abeita took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Benjamin Blas, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

Roegelio Pontones didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal.
