Spectators: 7482 (Terracing: 5613, Seating: 1720, VIP seats: 149) Saturnino Johans's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Javier García read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 5th minute of play. In the 5th minute, Di Bin Zhen hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 9th minute the ball was on its way in behind O.T.E's goalkeeper Javier García, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The supporters of O.T.E booed when Napoleón 2018 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 15 match minutes in a wonderful position. Di Bin Zhen didn't get a good kick on the ball. Urbano Faro showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Orlando Rivera, who was totally free with the ball in the 16th minute. 18 minutes into the match, Napoleón 2018's Saturnino Johans sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Javier García narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Thanks to some nice moves Di Bin Zhen could shoot a difficult shot in the 21st minute, which Javier García however easily saved by the left post. After a defensive mix-up in Napoleón 2018's zone, Orlando Rivera stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Urbano Faro came out of the goal and Orlando Rivera tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Saturnino Johans blasted a shot towards the goal in the 31st minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Javier García having to make a save. With an all-out effort, Napoleón 2018's Javier García threw himself towards the right post 31 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Saturnino Johans, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Napoleón 2018's Bonifacio Santalla was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Javier García in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. In the 38th minute, Saturnino Johans made a precise shot to the right of Javier García. O.T.E's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-0. In the 41st minute, Saturnino Johans got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 45th minute Saturnino Johans shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Javier García saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Di Bin Zhen made a kick off. Di Bin Zhen fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 54th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Javier García having to interfere. Javier García took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Saturnino Johans, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Donyo Dragiyski made in the 59th minute of the game a throw-in that took a bad bounce and was taken care of by Napoleón 2018's Lisandro Vitin. An unexpectedly hard shot by Saturnino Johans in the 62nd minute of play forced O.T.E's goalkeeper Javier García to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Javier García showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Di Bin Zhen, who was totally free with the ball in the 74th minute. Saturnino Johans struck a weak shot in the 78th minute. Javier García didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Napoleón 2018. Alekos Roubakis's late challenge caught a Napoleón 2018's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Alekos Roubakis helped the player get up and apologised. Alekos Roubakis kicked well hit freekick during the 79th minute of the match. The audience was convinced that Saturnino Johans's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Javier García was relentless in the 98th minute of the game.
