Spectators: 7723 (Terracing: 5793, Seating: 1776, VIP seats: 154) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Anastasio Lixandro made the kick off which started today's match. When Dalton Fasey came up free with the goalie in the 3rd minute, the Leeton United FC 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 Dalton Fasey couldn't finish the play. After a rather tough play, Celestiales's Haroldo Tono got a free kick in the 10th minute. Anastasio Lixandro received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Rudolph Jackson came out and tried to block the shot, but Anastasio Lixandro slotted it home off the left post making it 1-0 in the 20th minute. Celestiales's Anastasio Lixandro got a good chance for a goal in the 23rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. An unexpectedly hard shot by Luciano Astigar in the 29th minute of play forced Leeton United FC's goalkeeper Rudolph Jackson to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Rudolph Jackson was out of position in the 30 minute of play, and Anastasio Lixandro capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Anastasio Lixandro really showed his touch with that goal: 2-0. 37 minutes into the game, Anastasio Lixandro recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Rudolph Jackson. Anastasio Lixandro showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 3-0. If Dalton Fasey had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 40th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 44 minutes in the game Keefe Fulton did a throw-in, and the ball was quickly in game thanks to Thomas Thomas. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 3-0 at half-time.

The wind increased when Dalton Fasey made the kick off in the second half. Isidoro Javiero made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Dalton Fasey in the 51st minute of play. Rudolph Jackson took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Anastasio Lixandro, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Anastasio Lixandro scored 4-1 in the 65th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Rudolph Jackson, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After some careless play in the Leeton United FC defense, Anastasio Lixandro kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Rudolph Jackson. The Leeton United FC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Rudolph Jackson should have stopped the shot. With an all-out effort, Leeton United FC's Isidoro Javiero threw himself towards the right post 74 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Stan Bowen, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Jacob Baxter kicked well hit freekick during the 81st minute of the match. When Anastasio Lixandro came up free with the goalie in the 84th minute, the Celestiales 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 Anastasio Lixandro couldn't finish the play. Rene Baleren lost his temper 94 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card.
