Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Amador Austin got the match started through his kick off. With a little luck, Sñupi's Bonifacio Pello got control of the ball when Dario Telo tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 13th minute the ball was on its way in behind EstaciónMazán AFC's goalkeeper Santos Esdras, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Tiburcio Olo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 14th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Santos Esdras having to interfere. The supporters of Sñupi booed when EstaciónMazán AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 17 match minutes in a wonderful position. Hugo Perpinya didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 18th minute of the match Saverio Rojelio shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Santos Esdras showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Santos Esdras made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Juan Mingo in the 22nd minute of play. A hard shot by Dante Bizen from long distance, 28 minutes into the match, got Bonifacio Pello's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. If Dario Telo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Everyone was convinced a goal was close when EstaciónMazán AFC's Amador Austin in the 41st minute lifted the ball towards the upper right corner, but Bonifacio Pello was perfectly placed and prevented a goal for Sñupi through an amazing save. Santos Esdras made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Tiburcio Olo in the 42nd minute of play.

EstaciónMazán AFC's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Dante Bizen in the 49th minute. It was a well-played corner which Ramiro Jon managed to volley towards the net. Unfortunately, he didn't get a great hit on the ball and it went out into the grandstand. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Tiburcio Olo to make the kick off. Amador Austin struck a weak shot in the 56th minute. Bonifacio Pello didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for EstaciónMazán AFC. In the 57th match minute, Sñupi was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Juan Mingo to maneuver through the defense.
