Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Siro Salamon took the kick off in the first half of the match. Jaime Pardo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 3rd minute. Casimiro Astrada tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Diego Eterno's zone, Jaime Pardo stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Casimiro Astrada came out of the goal and Jaime Pardo tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Hector Covarrubias had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
