Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Panfilo Rabelo got the match started through his kick off. With a little luck, Lions's Gilmar Villornate got control of the ball when Alessandro Ludueña tried to sneak it across the goal line. Gilmar Villornate made a fantastic save in the 7th minute, when Lugo Guztros sent off a good shot on target. In the 10th minute, Virila Lena hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 14th minute, Alessandro Ludueña ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Gilmar Villornate was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-0. Gilmar Villornate was out of position in the 18 minute of play, and Lugo Guztros capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Lugo Guztros really showed his touch with that goal: 2-0. Alessandro Ludueña's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Gilmar Villornate firmly grabbed it by the left post. The supporters of Lions booed when C.A Serafina Rebirth was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 21 match minutes in a wonderful position. Lugo Guztros didn't get a good kick on the ball. If Xinto Riero had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 23rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 25th minute Panfilo Rabelo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gilmar Villornate saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Silbestre Oñez stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Xinto Riero's shot from short distance in the 29th minute. After having played for 31 minutes, Virila Lena managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Lions's supporters crossed their fingers, but Virila Lena was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. With a little luck, Lions's Gilmar Villornate got control of the ball when Alessandro Ludueña tried to sneak it across the goal line. Panfilo Rabelo scored 3-0 in the 37th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Gilmar Villornate, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 40 minutes into the match, Alessandro Ludueña notched a goal, 4-0, to the right of Lions's Gilmar Villornate. Gilmar Villornate was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 4-0 at half-time.

Silbestre Oñez made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Xinto Riero in the 51st minute of play. When Xinto Riero came up free with the goalie in the 52nd minute, the Lions 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 Xinto Riero couldn't finish the play. In the 55th minute, Montez Villarragut hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Gilmar Villornate came out of the goal in the 59th minute to try and stop a shot by C.A Serafina Rebirth's Orlan Moracia. But to his dismay, Orlan Moracia quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 5-0. With his leg Silbestre Oñez managed to avoid a goal in the 66thth minute, when Lions's Xinto Riero fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. In the 67thth minute of the game Xinto Riero who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but C.A Serafina Rebirth's Silbestre Oñez was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Lourenco Ricaredo could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 71st minute of the match, but Silbestre Oñez made a huge save. C.A Serafina Rebirth's Silbestre Oñez proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 73rd minute of the match, managed to save C.A Serafina Rebirth from getting a goal against them. Silbestre Oñez took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Erroman Giral, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. C.A Serafina Rebirth's Alessandro Ludueña managed to work through Lions's defense and was going for an easy goal, but he hit the shot with his toe and the ball flew outside the goal. Alessandro Ludueña dejectedly held out his arms as if to ask why the ball hadn't gone in. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Xinto Riero in the 81st minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Silbestre Oñez prevented the ball from getting in the gole. After a rather tough play, C.A Serafina Rebirth's Lugo Guztros got a free kick in the 81st minute. 84 minutes into the match, Lions's Xinto Riero sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Silbestre Oñez narrowly saved just below the crossbar. After some careless play in the Lions defense, Alessandro Ludueña kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Gilmar Villornate. The Lions fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Gilmar Villornate should have stopped the shot. C.A Serafina Rebirth's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
