Estadio Simoca
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Simoca's Guaberto Michael played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Tadeo Mazuste in the 5th minute of play. If Ubaldo Quintyn had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 11th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 15 minutes into the match, Tadeo Mazuste notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Simoca's Guaberto Michael. Guaberto Michael was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 20 minutes into the game, Moises Mendez was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Simoca's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Bochahuasi the free kick. The supporters of Bochahuasi booed when Simoca was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 22 match minutes in a wonderful position. Cristo Omero didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 25th minute, Tadeo Mazuste left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Bochahuasi fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-2. Guaberto Michael took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Tadeo Mazuste, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Amado Dacio hit a great freekick 30 minutes into the match. In the 33rd minute, Anier Huly hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Tadeo Mazuste sent away a hard shot on goal in the 36th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Santiago Abadia in the 38th minute of play forced Simoca's goalkeeper Guaberto Michael to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Santiago Abadia recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 42nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After the first half Bochahuasi were leading 1-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Santiago Abadia was the one to do the kick off. After 55 minutes Simoca's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Amancio Florin who took care of the corner kick. Ubaldo Quintyn received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 59th minute. Valentin Llorian tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Valentin Llorian made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Gaston Sotil in the 60th minute of play. In the 62nd minute Simoca were awarded a corner. Cristo Omero went to the cornerflag to take it. The corner led Simoca's Cristo Omero to fire away a dangerous shot which Valentin Llorian despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Anier Huly took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 67th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Valentin Llorian. Bochahuasi's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. A collision led to Bochahuasi getting a freekick after 71 minutes play. Ariel Xabier hit a great ball. Santiago Abadia's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Guaberto Michael read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 76th minute of play. Guaberto Michael came out of the goal in the 79th minute to try and stop a shot by Bochahuasi's Santiago Abadia. But to his dismay, Santiago Abadia quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-3. After having played for 87 minutes, Santiago Abadia managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Bochahuasi's supporters crossed their fingers, but Santiago Abadia was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Tadeo Mazuste sent away a hard shot on goal in the 88th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. In the 91st minute, Amancio Florin hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 94th minute, Gaston Sotil 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. The Simoca supporters were disappointed that their team didn't take anything from the match, despite matching Bochahuasi's performance. The match ended with a win for Bochahuasi.
