Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Gilen Maldonado made the kick off which started today's match. 6 minutes into the match, Deporsanse's goal looked a bit too open when Hori Lara came free, but Platon Lorenzo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Hori Lara received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 8th minute. Platon Lorenzo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 11 played minutes Iturgoyen got a freekick which was hit by Chap Raya. After a rather tough play, Iturgoyen's Baldemar Velasco got a free kick in the 16th minute. 19 minutes into the match, Deporsanse's goalkeeper Platon Lorenzo had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Baldemar Velasco. In the 22nd minute, Baldemar Velasco 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. Baldemar Velasco made a well adjusted shot against goal in the 25thth minute coming free in front of the goal, but Platon Lorenzo would not let the ball come through at any expense and made a nice save by the left post. Iturgoyen's Chap Raya shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 26th minute of play. The shot was stopped by Platon Lorenzo but with some difficulty. After some fancy dribbling in the 28th minute, Baldemar Velasco managed to get in a good position for a shot. Iturgoyen's supporters rose to their feet, but Baldemar Velasco was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Platon Lorenzo breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. A collision led to Iturgoyen getting a freekick after 30 minutes play. Chap Raya hit a great ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Gilen Maldonado in the 31st minute of play forced Iturgoyen's goalkeeper Octavio De Paula to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The crowd rose to their feet as Gitano Abrego kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Platon Lorenzo. That made the score 1-0 in the 39 minute of play.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Hori Lara was the one to do the kick off. Octavio De Paula was out of position in the 59 minute of play, and Cordareo Freire capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Cordareo Freire really showed his touch with that goal: 1-1. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Gilen Maldonado in the 64th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Octavio De Paula saved Iturgoyen from getting behind. When the match clock showed 66 minutes, the score became 2-1 when Baldemar Velasco sped through Deporsanse's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Platon Lorenzo. Gilen Maldonado's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Octavio De Paula read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 71st minute of play. In the 71st minute, Gilen Maldonado made a precise shot to the right of Octavio De Paula. Iturgoyen's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-2. Cordareo Freire was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 75th minute. Deporsanse's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. 85 minutes into the match, Gilen Maldonado dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Octavio De Paula, 2-3. Juan Sarrate's late challenge caught a Iturgoyen's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Juan Sarrate helped the player get up and apologised. Platon Lorenzo made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Hori Lara in the 96th minute of play. The Iturgoyen supporters were disappointed that their team didn't take anything from the match, despite matching Deporsanse's performance. The match ended with a win for Deporsanse.
