Spectators: 7482 (Terracing: 5613, Seating: 1720, VIP seats: 149) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Vladimiro Vimaro started the match with the kick off. Boulogne del Ciclón's Joaquin Mon played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Waldo Renteria in the 6th minute of play. The supporters of Boulogne del Ciclón booed when Cascade Park West was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 6 match minutes in a wonderful position. Scotty Haynes didn't get a good kick on the ball. 7 minutes into the match, Cascade Park West's goal looked a bit too open when Vladimiro Vimaro came free, but Charles Knapp reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Evaristo Rufio struck a weak shot in the 9th minute. Charles Knapp didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Boulogne del Ciclón. After 17 minutes of play, Boulogne del Ciclón's Vladimiro Vimaro made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Charles Knapp was left in no man's land by his defense there! Joaquin Mon showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Waldo Renteria, who was totally free with the ball in the 28th minute. Ezra Yoder fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 34th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Joaquin Mon having to interfere. Ezra Yoder's late challenge caught a Boulogne del Ciclón's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ezra Yoder helped the player get up and apologised. In the 35th match minute, Cascade Park West was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ezra Yoder to maneuver through the defense. In the 39th minute, Ezra Yoder hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Waldo Renteria to strike the kick off in the second half. Charles Knapp showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Evaristo Rufio, who was totally free with the ball in the 53rd minute.

In the 57th minute Vladimiro Vimaro shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Charles Knapp saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 60th minute, Vladimiro Vimaro managed to get in a good position for a shot. Boulogne del Ciclón's supporters rose to their feet, but Vladimiro Vimaro was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Charles Knapp breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Waldo Renteria hit a great freekick 64 minutes into the match. Augusto Dalmu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 65th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Vladimiro Vimaro who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 67thth minute tested the skills of Charles Knapp when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Charles Knapp showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Vladimiro Vimaro in the 78th minute of the match. If Vladimiro Vimaro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 79th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Waldo Renteria recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 81st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Waldo Renteria during the 82nd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Vladimiro Vimaro had several of the Cascade Park West's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 85 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 0-3 score and a disappointed Charles Knapp as he didn't even see the shot coming. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Boulogne del Ciclón walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
