Estadio Bahia Dorada
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Leandro Duran started the match with the kick off. Justino De Silva showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Quilo Mendez in the 3rd minute of the match. Marino Canal kicked well hit freekick during the 9th minute of the match. In the 12th minute, Leandro Duran ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Israel Belalcaraz was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-2. After having played for 24 minutes, Cordera Duarte managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Bahia Dorada FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Cordera Duarte was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The audience was convinced that Quirze Mangas's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Israel Belalcaraz was relentless in the 26th minute of the game. If Leandro Duran had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 35th minute, Baiardo Ramos got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. After 37 played minutes Soto Del Real got a freekick which was hit by Benja Griful. Benja Griful's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Israel Belalcaraz read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 41st minute of play. When Quilo Mendez fell near the penalty area in the 41st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Bahia Dorada FC's protests and gave Quilo Mendez a yellow card for diving instead.

Baiardo Ramos received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 47th minute. Justino De Silva tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Cordera Duarte stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. An unexpectedly hard shot by Leandro Duran in the 52nd minute of play forced Bahia Dorada FC's goalkeeper Israel Belalcaraz to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Quilo Mendez was shown his second yellow card after 54 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match.
