Spectators: 451 (Terracing: 339, Seating: 103, VIP seats: 9) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play.

In the 3rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Arquímedes's goalkeeper Jeremias Cordario, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. La Pantera Azulgrana's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Mati Suárez in the 5th minute.

Jeremias Cordario stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Bob Marley's shot from short distance in the 10th minute. In the 16thth minute of the game Arquímedes Ladio who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but La Pantera Azulgrana's Dibag Martinez was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. After 16 minutes, Arquímedes Ladio made it 0-1 with a short kick to the right side. La Pantera Azulgrana's Dibag Martinez tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. 28 minutes into the match, Arquímedes's goal looked a bit too open when Bob Marley came free, but Jeremias Cordario reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 30th minute, La Pantera Azulgrana's Bob Marley ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Jeremias Cordario. Jeremias Cordario yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-1.

In the 35th minute, Matias Fresco hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Bob Marley might have been able to make a better finish in the 36th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Jeremias Cordario. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out.

The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 4-1.

Arquímedes made a substitution. Ramon Abila replaced Angel Jaume. 57 minutes into the match, Arquímedes's Ramon Abila sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Dibag Martinez narrowly saved just below the crossbar. After some fancy dribbling in the 67th minute, Bob Marley managed to get in a good position for a shot. La Pantera Azulgrana's supporters rose to their feet, but Bob Marley was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Jeremias Cordario breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Bob Marley blasted a shot towards the goal in the 70th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Jeremias Cordario having to make a save. If Ramon Abila had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 74th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 76th minute Bob Marley shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jeremias Cordario saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 77 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for La Pantera Azulgrana! The goalkeeper, Dibag Martinez, was totally fooled by Arquímedes's Arquímedes Ladio, who 79 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side. In the 81st minute the ball was on its way in behind Arquímedes's goalkeeper Jeremias Cordario, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 82nd minute La Pantera Azulgrana were awarded a corner. Mati Suárez went to the cornerflag to take it. The supporters of Arquímedes booed when La Pantera Azulgrana was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 86 match minutes in a wonderful position. Mati Suárez didn't get a good kick on the ball. Dibag Martinez acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 86th minute, took the ball on the long shot from Danilo Olayo. 90 minutes into the game, Arquímedes's Ramon Abila nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Dibag Martinez made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 5-3. Jeremias Cordario came out of the goal in the 93rd minute to try and stop a shot by La Pantera Azulgrana's Olaf Skaradowski. But to his dismay, Olaf Skaradowski quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 6-3. Ramon Abila might have been able to make a better finish in the 98th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Dibag Martinez. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Ramon Abila ran back to his position shaking his head.

The La Pantera Azulgrana support was delighted with a win in a match that could easily have ended differently.
