Spectators: 195 (Terracing: 147, Seating: 45, VIP seats: 3) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Hipolito Ponce took the kick off in the first half of the match. AC Papicho's Gianluca Lapadula got a good chance for a goal in the 5th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. The crowd rose to their feet as Gianluca Lapadula kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Loreto Palanques. That made the score 1-0 in the 10 minute of play. AlmaToran's Lope Lortia quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Angel Beltxe, made in the 14th minute of the game. Gianluca Lapadula could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 23rd minute of the match, but Loreto Palanques made a huge save. After having played for 26 minutes, Gianluca Lapadula managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. AC Papicho's supporters crossed their fingers, but Gianluca Lapadula was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Hipolito Ponce in the 29th minute of play forced AC Papicho's goalkeeper Alexander Shaw to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Egun Lisundia struck a weak shot in the 32nd minute. Loreto Palanques didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for AC Papicho. 34 minutes into the match, AlmaToran's goalkeeper Loreto Palanques had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Gianluca Lapadula. AlmaToran's defense didn't have a chance, in the 37th minute, when Gianluca Lapadula scored to the left of an out of position Loreto Palanques, making the score, 3-0. If Egun Lisundia had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 41st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 44th minute Hipolito Ponce shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Alexander Shaw saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Gianluca Lapadula's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Loreto Palanques firmly grabbed it by the left post. In the 49th minute of the match AC Papicho got a corner. AlmaToran's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Fryderyk Kisiel ran over to the corner to take the kick. A nice corner shot did that Angel Beltxe got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Loreto Palanques quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 3-0 at half-time.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Gianluca Lapadula made a kick off. AlmaToran's Loreto Palanques played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Gianluca Lapadula in the 54th minute of play. The AC Papicho fans' excitement grew in the 63rd match minute when AC Papicho's Gianluca Lapadula looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 4-0 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. When Frasquito Abrego, who was free, got the in front of the goal in the 72 minute he wasn't focused and tipped the ball just over the goal. The Loreto Palanques was delighted since the ball would have got in if it had gone under the crossbar. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Aztore Aroztegui during the 75th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After a rather tough play, AlmaToran's Aztore Aroztegui got a free kick in the 75th minute. In the 80th minute, Frasquito Abrego left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The AC Papicho fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 6-0. Loreto Palanques didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Frasquito Abrego went, in the 88th minute, to the upper right corner, 7-0 was the resulting score. Frasquito Abrego might have been able to make a better finish in the 91st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Loreto Palanques. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Frasquito Abrego ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 92nd minute, Frasquito Abrego left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The AC Papicho fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 8-0.

When Frasquito Abrego came up free with the goalie in the 98th minute, the AC Papicho fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Frasquito Abrego couldn't finish the play. AC Papicho were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of AlmaToran for a fine match.
