Spectators: 39 (Terracing: 30, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Teodoro Salomon took the kick off in the first half of the match. GuateFortín's Jose Miguel Marin played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Teodoro Salomon in the 9th minute of play. When Leonel Jimenez fell near the penalty area in the 9th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored GuateFortín's protests and gave Leonel Jimenez a yellow card for diving instead.

A collision led to GuateFortín getting a freekick after 13 minutes play. Gabriel Brizuela hit a great ball. Marcial Maore sent away a hard shot on goal in the 18th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 25 minutes into the match, ᴄʟᴜʙ ᴀᴛʟᴇᴛɪᴄᴏ ᴛᴜᴄᴜᴍᴀɴ's goal looked a bit too open when Gabriel Brizuela came free, but Faustino Horado reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Teodoro Salomon received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 38th minute. Jose Miguel Marin tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

The referee showed Romulo Gabrio the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Romulo Gabrio kicked well hit freekick during the 52nd minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Marcelo Quijada in the 69th minute of play forced ᴄʟᴜʙ ᴀᴛʟᴇᴛɪᴄᴏ ᴛᴜᴄᴜᴍᴀɴ's goalkeeper Faustino Horado to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Jose Miguel Marin stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Marcial Maore's shot from short distance in the 79th minute. The audience was convinced that Teodoro Salomon's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Jose Miguel Marin was relentless in the 84th minute of the game. After 85 minutes, Jorge Collado mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the GuateFortín and the ᴄʟᴜʙ ᴀᴛʟᴇᴛɪᴄᴏ ᴛᴜᴄᴜᴍᴀɴ players grew even worse after the yellow card.
