Spectators: 7515 (Terracing: 5637, Seating: 1728, VIP seats: 150) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Luli Amor took the kick off in the first half of the match. Programayin's defense didn't have a chance, in the 3rd minute, when Jairo Astigar scored to the left of an out of position Ourente Egea, making the score, 1-0. Jairo Astigar took the ball and in the 6 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Ourente Egea. Ourente Egea dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-0. In the 11th minute, Luli Amor 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. Isaac Garoa showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Cesar Molledo in the 15th minute of the match. Bemabe Alzola hit a great freekick 30 minutes into the match. Ourente Egea made an important save on a dangerous shot by Leandro-Atilio Romagnoli in the 32nd minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Eguen Catalan in the 35th minute of play forced San Lorenzo 11's goalkeeper Isaac Garoa to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Gualterio Aragones came up free with the goalie in the 38th minute, the San Lorenzo 11 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 Gualterio Aragones couldn't finish the play. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 2-1 at half-time.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Jairo Astigar was the one to do the kick off. Cordarrol Ricaredo hit a great freekick 53 minutes into the match. The supporters of San Lorenzo 11 booed when Programayin was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 58 match minutes in a wonderful position. Cordarrol Ricaredo didn't get a good kick on the ball. Through an outstanding action, after 65 minutes, Isaac Garoa successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. In the 65th match minute, San Lorenzo 11 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Primitivo Orixe to maneuver through the defense. In the 67th minute, Luli Amor left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Programayin fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-2. If Jairo Astigar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 72nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, Programayin's Luli Amor got a free kick in the 75th minute. Ourente Egea showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Jairo Astigar, who was totally free with the ball in the 76th minute. After 79 played minutes Programayin got a freekick which was hit by Michael Pimentel. Ourente Egea didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Emanuel Bella went, in the 81st minute, to the upper right corner, 3-2 was the resulting score. An unexpectedly hard shot by Eguen Catalan in the 85th minute of play forced San Lorenzo 11's goalkeeper Isaac Garoa to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 93rd minute of the match, Eguen Catalan tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Isaac Garoa saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
