Spectators: 7500 (Terracing: 5625, Seating: 1725, VIP seats: 150) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Vespasien Kiser made the kick off which started today's match. If Jeremias Rios had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 4th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Vespasien Kiser scored 0-1 in the 8th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Olavo Lobato, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 13 minutes into the match, Ceylon AF's goal looked a bit too open when Jeremias Rios came free, but Herman Healy reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Herman Healy showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Jeremias Rios in the 23rd minute of the match. Olavo Lobato made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Vespasien Kiser in the 25th minute of play. After taking down the ball on Ceylon AF's corner Vespasien Kiser fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and Olavo Lobato quite easily take care of the ball. Ceylon AF's Herman Healy played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Lu Sen Ting in the 30th minute of play. Neville Larkin charged in rather forcefully in the 32nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Neville Larkin the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. A collision led to Ceylon AF getting a freekick after 32 minutes play. Neville Larkin hit a great ball. 34 minutes into the match, Jeremias Rios dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Herman Healy, 1-1. 37 minutes into the game, Trinidad Delacruz cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-2. Olavo Lobato was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Herman Healy showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Jeremias Rios, who was totally free with the ball in the 42nd minute. 44 minutes in the game, Jeremias Rios fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Herman Healy having to interfere. In the 45th minute Trinidad Delacruz shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Olavo Lobato saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The wind increased when Jeremias Rios made the kick off in the second half. When Neville Larkin was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 51 minutes had been played. 57 minutes into the match, Jeremias Rios notched a goal, 2-2, to the right of Ceylon AF's Herman Healy. Herman Healy was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Joseph Rojas hit a great freekick 67 minutes into the match. Jeremias Rios fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 71st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Herman Healy having to interfere. The supporters of Tidehead booed when Ceylon AF was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 73 match minutes in a wonderful position. Vespasien Kiser didn't get a good kick on the ball. Rodrick Sargent struck a weak shot in the 74th minute. Herman Healy didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Tidehead. In the 78th minute Jeremias Rios shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Herman Healy saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Trinidad Delacruz could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 80th minute of the match, but Olavo Lobato made a huge save. Herman Healy took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Corozo Toranzo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Dave Santiago hit a great freekick 87 minutes into the match. After 89 minutes, Vespasien Kiser mouthed his way into the referee's book.
