Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Cleto Santos kicked off to start the match. Gavino Bastiaro kicked well hit freekick during the 3rd minute of the match. Ildefonso Fero came out of the goal in the 4th minute to try and stop a shot by Defensores de Flores's Florencio Gorosti. But to his dismay, Florencio Gorosti quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-0. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Orlando Roano during the 7th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Orlando Roano hit a great freekick 7 minutes into the match. Witalis Hodas showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Cleto Santos in the 8th minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Cleto Santos in the 9th minute of play forced Defensores de Flores's goalkeeper Witalis Hodas to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 11th minute, Defensores de Flores's Gervasio Pagomari ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Ildefonso Fero. Ildefonso Fero yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 2-0. Albino Hanot's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Ildefonso Fero firmly grabbed it by the left post. 16 minutes into the game, Florencio Gorosti was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Defensores de Flores's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Skid Row FC the free kick. In the 16th match minute, Defensores de Flores was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Florencio Gorosti to maneuver through the defense. Albino Hanot kicked well hit freekick during the 19th minute of the match. In the 22nd minute, Justino Boniel ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Ildefonso Fero was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-0. If Cleto Santos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 28th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 29 played minutes Defensores de Flores got a freekick which was hit by Orlando Roano. With a little luck, Skid Row FC's Ildefonso Fero got control of the ball when Justino Boniel tried to sneak it across the goal line. Witalis Hodas took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Cleto Santos, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Justino Boniel might have been able to make a better finish in the 46th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Ildefonso Fero. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Justino Boniel ran back to his position shaking his head. Ildefonso Fero made a fantastic save in the 48th minute, when Justino Boniel sent off a good shot on target.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Albino Hanot to strike the kick off in the second half. After a defensive mix-up in Skid Row FC's zone, Gervasio Pagomari stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ildefonso Fero came out of the goal and Gervasio Pagomari tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Florentino Odon's late challenge caught a Defensores de Flores's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Florentino Odon helped the player get up and apologised. If Cleto Santos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 61st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Jonathan Chayo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 66th minute. Witalis Hodas tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Justino Boniel struck a weak shot in the 80th minute. Ildefonso Fero didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Defensores de Flores. Skid Row FC's Ildefonso Fero played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Justino Boniel in the 94th minute of play. After taking down the ball on Defensores de Flores's corner Florencio Gorosti fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and Ildefonso Fero quite easily take care of the ball. The Defensores de Flores players were eager to celebrate when the final whistle sounded. They had somehow managed to win, even though the away team had held the majority of the possession.
