Spectators: 6719 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1719, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Adalberto Secanell took the kick off in the first half of the match. Adalberto Secanell might have been able to make a better finish in the 4th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Matias Macilla. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Adalberto Secanell ran back to his position shaking his head. Adalberto Secanell recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 6th minute.

Bajira FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Dino Oton was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. An unexpectedly hard shot by Quintin Aldama in the 18th minute of play forced Saladilial FC's goalkeeper Barto Berti to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Matias Macilla didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Dino Oton went, in the 23rd minute, to the upper right corner, 1-2 was the resulting score.
