Spectators: 7528 (Terracing: 5647, Seating: 1731, VIP seats: 150) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Renato Mattei started the match with the kick off. After 5 played minutes GUSESI got a freekick which was hit by Basri Tanyeli. In the 7th minute, Capioviciño's Renato Mattei ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Thibaut Courtois. Thibaut Courtois yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-0. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jannis Van den Berge in the 9th minute of play forced GUSESI's goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Dieter Muller in the 11th minute of play forced Capioviciño's goalkeeper Jano França to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Jano França showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Dieter Muller in the 15th minute of the match. Jano França showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Tobias Nascimento, who was totally free with the ball in the 17th minute. After a rather tough play, Capioviciño's Fidel Oyardo got a free kick in the 17th minute. Capioviciño's Jano França played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Tobias Nascimento in the 18th minute of play. Leandro Ederono struck a weak shot in the 20th minute. Jano França didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for GUSESI. After having played for 22 minutes, Ovidio Favila managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. GUSESI's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ovidio Favila was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Dieter Muller kicked well hit freekick during the 27th minute of the match. In the 32ndth minute of the game Ovidio Favila who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Capioviciño's Jano França was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Tobias Nascimento in the 37th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Jano França saved Capioviciño from getting behind. 40 minutes into the match, Capioviciño's goal looked a bit too open when Ovidio Favila came free, but Jano França reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Carmine Oddi fell near the penalty area in the 45th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Capioviciño's protests and gave Carmine Oddi a yellow card for diving instead. After 46 played minutes Capioviciño got a freekick which was hit by Carmine Oddi. Tobias Nascimento scored 1-3 in the 47th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Jano França, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-3 lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Tobias Nascimento to strike the kick off in the second half. Jano França took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ovidio Favila, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After some careless play in the GUSESI defense, Renato Mattei kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Thibaut Courtois. The GUSESI fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Thibaut Courtois should have stopped the shot. Carmine Oddi hit a great freekick 61 minutes into the match. Jason Manson hit a great freekick 62 minutes into the match. Carmelo Sanduru got a throw-in 66 minutes in the game and the ball was received by Ovidio Favila. The corner ended in Severiano Ordono almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but GUSESI's Thibaut Courtois did a great save. Jano França made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Leandro Ederono in the 78th minute of play. Thibaut Courtois stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Carmine Oddi's shot from short distance in the 79th minute. 82 minutes into the match, GUSESI's goal looked a bit too open when Renato Mattei came free, but Thibaut Courtois reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in GUSESI's zone, Carmine Oddi stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Thibaut Courtois came out of the goal and Carmine Oddi tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The crowd rose to their feet as Ovidio Favila kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Jano França. That made the score 2-4 in the 88 minute of play. Thibaut Courtois showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Renato Mattei, who was totally free with the ball in the 93rd minute. In the 95thth minute of the game Ovidio Favila who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Capioviciño's Jano França was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. When the match was over GUSESI could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Capioviciño throughout the match.
