Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Nicollao Rebenga kicked off to start the match. After 4th play minutes Miro Cortinez shot 0-1, a short shot which went by Orlondo Graci and just under the crossbar into goal. In the 8th minute the ball was on its way in behind SPORTING CRYSTAL's goalkeeper Erauso Brunet, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. When the match had gone on for 11 minutes, Nicollao Rebenga took a quick shot and it went in 1-1 without a chance for Erauso Brunet to make any attempt to save it. In the 15th minute, Boniel Ribeira hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Saposoa's Etor Espinoza couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 15th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for SPORTING CRYSTAL. Miguel Pons could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 24th minute of the match, but Erauso Brunet made a huge save. Erauso Brunet showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Nicollao Rebenga, who was totally free with the ball in the 30th minute. Orlondo Graci showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Guipuzkoa Saludes in the 31st minute of the match. The supporters of SPORTING CRYSTAL booed when Saposoa was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 34 match minutes in a wonderful position. Nicollao Rebenga didn't get a good kick on the ball. Guipuzkoa Saludes scored 1-2 in the 37th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Orlondo Graci, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After a rather tough play, SPORTING CRYSTAL's Frederico Villafafila got a free kick in the 41st minute. Miguel Pons received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 43rd minute. Erauso Brunet tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 47 minutes into the match, Saposoa's goal looked a bit too open when Miro Cortinez came free, but Orlondo Graci reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After the first half SPORTING CRYSTAL were leading 1-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Miro Cortinez stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Guipuzkoa Saludes fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 53rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Orlondo Graci having to interfere. Miguel Pons fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 55th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Erauso Brunet having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 57th minute, Miro Cortinez managed to get in a good position for a shot. SPORTING CRYSTAL's supporters rose to their feet, but Miro Cortinez was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Orlondo Graci breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Miro Cortinez sent away a hard shot on goal in the 61st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. If Rodriguez Ontaneda had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 66th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Erauso Brunet took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Nicollao Rebenga, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Miro Cortinez might have been able to make a better finish in the 76th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Orlondo Graci. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Miro Cortinez ran back to his position shaking his head. Guipuzkoa Saludes was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 78th minute. SPORTING CRYSTAL's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. In the 79th minute, Theodore Leyarte left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Saposoa fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-2. The supporters of SPORTING CRYSTAL booed when Saposoa was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 91 match minutes in a wonderful position. Nicollao Rebenga didn't get a good kick on the ball. Guipuzkoa Saludes blasted a shot towards the goal in the 95th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Orlondo Graci having to make a save.
