Estadio Linares
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Everardo Alcaraz kicked off to start the match. Juan-Alfredo Urbieta made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ponciano Ponte in the 3rd minute of play.

After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

After a defensive mix-up in Luquiano's zone, Cecilio Munoz stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Fiz Herrero came out of the goal and Cecilio Munoz tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. A hard shot by Hanot Ortiz from long distance, 85 minutes into the match, got Juan-Alfredo Urbieta's attention.

The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Luquiano eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
