Spectators: 7549 (Terracing: 5663, Seating: 1736, VIP seats: 150) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Remigio Ostadar started the match with the kick off. Javier Landeras's late challenge caught a Estación Q.'s player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Javier Landeras helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to Barcelona de América getting a freekick after 10 minutes play. Javier Landeras hit a great ball. When Jairo Telmo came up free with the goalie in the 14th minute, the Estación Q. 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 Jairo Telmo couldn't finish the play. After 15 played minutes Estación Q. got a freekick which was hit by Niceto Gaizkine. Remigio Ostadar sent away a hard shot on goal in the 17th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The supporters of Barcelona de América booed when Estación Q. was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 22 match minutes in a wonderful position. Niceto Gaizkine didn't get a good kick on the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Pancho Leceta in the 27th minute of play forced Estación Q.'s goalkeeper Ermegildo Ixona to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The audience was convinced that Pancho Leceta's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Ermegildo Ixona was relentless in the 28th minute of the game. Ermegildo Ixona came out of the goal in the 34th minute to try and stop a shot by Barcelona de América's Edison Mendez. But to his dismay, Edison Mendez quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-2. 36 minutes into the match, Edison Mendez notched a goal, 0-3, to the right of Estación Q.'s Ermegildo Ixona. Ermegildo Ixona was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After a rather tough play, Estación Q.'s Sergio Shantala got a free kick in the 43rd minute. 45 minutes into the match, Barcelona de América's goal looked a bit too open when Remigio Ostadar came free, but Fabio Marines reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a rather tough play, Barcelona de América's Palacios Rabel got a free kick in the 47th minute. Niceto Gaizkine's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Fabio Marines read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 47th minute of play. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-3 lead.

In the 60th minute, Geronimo Remigio hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 62 minutes into the match, Estación Q.'s goal looked a bit too open when Pancho Leceta came free, but Ermegildo Ixona reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

When Cipriano Ebardo fell near the penalty area in the 90th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Estación Q.'s protests and gave Cipriano Ebardo a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to Estación Q. getting a freekick after 91 minutes play. Cipriano Ebardo hit a great ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 92nd minute, Ulises Casanande managed to get in a good position for a shot. Barcelona de América's supporters rose to their feet, but Ulises Casanande was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ermegildo Ixona breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 93 minutes into the match, Barcelona de América's goal looked a bit too open when Jairo Telmo came free, but Fabio Marines reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When the match was over Barcelona de América could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Estación Q. throughout the match.
