Spectators: 144 (Terracing: 109, Seating: 33, VIP seats: 2) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Osvaldo Patxi made the kick off which started today's match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Gogo Diagur in the 3rd minute of play forced Pan Queso y Leberbush FC's goalkeeper Federico Dalmai to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Pan Queso y Leberbush FC's Leonardo Sugar got a good chance for a goal in the 9th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After having played for 14 minutes, Benjamin Valentine managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Pan Queso y Leberbush FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Benjamin Valentine was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. If Benjamin Valentine had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 21st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Silverio Laffitte in the 31st managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Luis Cuartio saved TATA FC from getting behind. 37 minutes into the match, TATA FC's goal looked a bit too open when Benjamin Valentine came free, but Luis Cuartio reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 43rd minute, TATA FC's Gogo Diagur seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Gogo Diagur the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of TATA FC protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Gogo Diagur had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 42nd minute of the game. One of TATA FC:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Pan Queso y Leberbush FC:s goal. 46 minutes had been played when some careless play by TATA FC's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Andres Teodor was slow to take the kick. During this time Pan Queso y Leberbush FC's players had a chance to rest. A nice corner shot did that Andres Teodor got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Luis Cuartio quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. The score stood at 0-0 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

In the 53rd minute Raimundo Merexildo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Luis Cuartio saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Federico Dalmai made a fantastic save in the 56th minute, when Osvaldo Patxi sent off a good shot on target. Luis Cuartio didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Silverio Laffitte went, in the 57th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-0 was the resulting score. After some fancy dribbling in the 66th minute, Raimundo Merexildo managed to get in a good position for a shot. Pan Queso y Leberbush FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Raimundo Merexildo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Luis Cuartio breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Benjamin Jayvier kicked well hit freekick during the 67th minute of the match. Benjamin Valentine fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 71st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Luis Cuartio having to interfere. Federico Dalmai made a fantastic save in the 80th minute, when Nicasio Mede sent off a good shot on target. Luis Cuartio made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Benjamin Valentine in the 82nd minute of play. Benjamin Valentine scored 2-0 in the 85th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Luis Cuartio, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.
