Spectators: 6015 (Terracing: 4501, Seating: 1503, VIP seats: 11) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Guilabertus Jate started the match with the kick off. Salvadore Flamenco recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 4th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 7th minute, Salvadore Flamenco got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 10th minute, Christiano Capitan managed to get in a good position for a shot. Itata's supporters rose to their feet, but Christiano Capitan was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Nelio Mesones breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 11th minute Matro Checa shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Nelio Mesones saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Matro Checa had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 21st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 26 minutes into the match, Matro Checa had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Nelio Mesones. Kogarasumaru FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Matro Checa was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. Salvadore Flamenco received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 37th minute. Zavior Sanguino tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

Nelio Mesones came out of the goal and Matro Checa tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.
