Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Victorino Gonzalez took the kick off in the first half of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Hernán Leandro in the 11th minute of play forced Tio Cosme FC's goalkeeper Yu Kun to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Yusuf Yazıcı could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 14th minute of the match, but Ruperto Rainerio made a huge save. In the 17th minute, Alfonso Kemen hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The audience thought a goal was coming when Yusuf Yazıcı got free with Ruperto Rainerio in the 17th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Dario Hussain in the 19th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Yu Kun saved Tio Cosme FC from getting behind. The audience was convinced that Dario Hussain's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Yu Kun was relentless in the 21st minute of the game. Hernán Leandro made a great header on Leon Platense's corner, it was just that Tio Cosme FC's Yu Kun managed to reach the ball for a save. Yu Kun made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Hernán Leandro in the 22nd minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in Leon Platense's zone, Abelardo Asur stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ruperto Rainerio came out of the goal and Abelardo Asur tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Yu Kun took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Dario Hussain, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Maximino Romero kicked well hit freekick during the 36th minute of the match. If Gaafar Carrillo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 0-0 after a close first half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Dario Hussain was the one to do the kick off.

But to his dismay, Gaafar Carrillo quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. The audience thought a goal was coming when Dario Hussain got free with Yu Kun in the 57th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. When Constantino Anaya fell near the penalty area in the 61st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Leon Platense's protests and gave Constantino Anaya a yellow card for diving instead.

Leon Platense's Ruperto Rainerio tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. 70 minutes into the match, Leon Platense's goal looked a bit too open when Abelardo Asur came free, but Ruperto Rainerio reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Gaafar Carrillo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 72nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Tio Cosme FC's Raul Oriol was substituted for Abelardo Asur.
