Spectators: 39 (Terracing: 30, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Edmundo Espiga took the kick off in the first half of the match. Damaso Roldan kicked well hit freekick during the 2nd minute of the match. After a rather tough play, Chia Cami's Alberto Libertad got a free kick in the 3rd minute. The supporters of Honduras booed when Chia Cami was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 11 match minutes in a wonderful position. Alberto Libertad didn't get a good kick on the ball. The audience was convinced that Edmundo Espiga's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Aybar Yalınalp was relentless in the 14th minute of the game. After a defensive mix-up in Chia Cami's zone, Sebastian Villa stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Aybar Yalınalp came out of the goal and Sebastian Villa tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Aybar Yalınalp showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Edmundo Espiga, who was totally free with the ball in the 28th minute. In the 31st match minute, Chia Cami was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Alberto Libertad to maneuver through the defense. In the 32nd minute of the match Luca Espinar sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Aybar Yalınalp skillfully saved the ball. Through an outstanding action, after 38 minutes, Lautaro Navarro successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Edmundo Espiga in the 48th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Aybar Yalınalp saved Chia Cami from getting behind. When the match clock showed 48 minutes, the score became 1-1 when Edmundo Espiga sped through Chia Cami's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Aybar Yalınalp. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Alberto Libertad to make the kick off. In the 56th match minute, Honduras was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Esteban Carvallo to maneuver through the defense. With his leg Aybar Yalınalp managed to avoid a goal in the 58thth minute, when Honduras's Edmundo Espiga fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. The audience was convinced that Edmundo Espiga's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Aybar Yalınalp was relentless in the 63rd minute of the game. Lautaro Navarro showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Alberto Libertad in the 66th minute of the match. Edmundo Espiga had several of the Chia Cami's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 73 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 1-2 score and a disappointed Aybar Yalınalp as he didn't even see the shot coming. 77 minutes into the match, Sixto Gaitan notched a goal, 2-2, to the right of Honduras's Lautaro Navarro. Lautaro Navarro was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Alberto Libertad received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 80th minute. Lautaro Navarro tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 82 minutes into the match, Honduras's goal looked a bit too open when Sixto Gaitan came free, but Lautaro Navarro reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 85 minutes, Edmundo Espiga made it 2-3 with a short kick to the right side. Chia Cami's Aybar Yalınalp tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. After 92 minutes, Moises Tafalla mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Honduras and the Chia Cami players grew even worse after the yellow card. A collision led to Honduras getting a freekick after 92 minutes play. Moises Tafalla hit a great ball. When the match had gone on for 96 minutes, Edmundo Espiga took a quick shot and it went in 2-4 without a chance for Aybar Yalınalp to make any attempt to save it. The Honduras supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Honduras would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
