Spectators: 7641 (Terracing: 5787, Seating: 1774, VIP seats: 80) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Emesto Sotilla made the kick off which started today's match. If Camilo Salmanton had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. ♦Squat★Goals♦'s Pancho Dean played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Aloisio Castroviejo in the 19th minute of play. Alpes FC's Camilo Daza played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Vincent Pandilla in the 21st minute of play. 22 minutes into the game, Vincent Pandilla cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-0. Camilo Daza was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After a defensive mix-up in Alpes FC's zone, Lucian Alzola stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Camilo Daza came out of the goal and Lucian Alzola tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 31 minutes in the game, Galtero Lillo fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Camilo Daza having to interfere. Pancho Dean took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Emesto Sotilla, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Camilo Daza made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Vincent Pandilla in the 39th minute of play. Gaizkine Nueva made in the 42nd minute of the game a throw-in that took a bad bounce and was taken care of by ♦Squat★Goals♦'s Cordara Abuleta. Camilo Daza didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Joey Espantoso went, in the 44th minute, to the upper right corner, 2-0 was the resulting score. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Vincent Pandilla to make the kick off. A collision led to Alpes FC getting a freekick after 55 minutes play. Crescencio Arbulo hit a great ball. In the 61st minute of the match Mosen Herreros shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Camilo Daza showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Pancho Dean made an important save on a dangerous shot by Crescencio Arbulo in the 62nd minute. In the 63rd minute of the match Alpes FC got a corner. ♦Squat★Goals♦'s goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Camilo Salmanton ran over to the corner to take the kick. It was a well-played corner which Aloisio Castroviejo managed to volley towards the net. Unfortunately, he didn't get a great hit on the ball and it went out into the grandstand. In the 66th minute, Vincent Pandilla made a precise shot to the right of Camilo Daza. Alpes FC's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 3-0. Lucian Alzola fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 78th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Camilo Daza having to interfere. 79 minutes into the game, Gaizkine Nueva was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Alpes FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave ♦Squat★Goals♦ the free kick. After 79 played minutes Alpes FC got a freekick which was hit by Gaizkine Nueva. When Camilo Salmanton came up free with the goalie in the 83rd minute, the Alpes FC 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 Camilo Salmanton couldn't finish the play. After some careless play in the ♦Squat★Goals♦ defense, Crescencio Arbulo kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Pancho Dean. The ♦Squat★Goals♦ fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Pancho Dean should have stopped the shot. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The ♦Squat★Goals♦ fans cheered their team off the field, for while Alpes FC had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
