Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Roldán AFC's Adrian Burutzagi got a good chance for a goal in the 3rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Luciano Burni had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a little luck, Aparicio AFC's Bernardino Odol got control of the ball when Luciano Burni tried to sneak it across the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Adrian Burutzagi in the 16th minute of play forced Aparicio AFC's goalkeeper Bernardino Odol to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 27th minute the ball was on its way in behind Roldán AFC's goalkeeper German Bras, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. German Bras showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Fernando Txeru, who was totally free with the ball in the 28th minute. After a defensive mix-up in Aparicio AFC's zone, Luciano Burni stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Bernardino Odol came out of the goal and Luciano Burni tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 38th minute, Paulino Fernado left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Roldán AFC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-0. Fernando Txeru recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 43rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Fernando Txeru made a kick off. Celestino Naldo might have been able to make a better finish in the 51st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over German Bras. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Celestino Naldo ran back to his position shaking his head. German Bras made a fantastic save in the 52nd minute, when Fernando Txeru sent off a good shot on target. The audience was convinced that Fernando Txeru's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but German Bras was relentless in the 64th minute of the game. In the 65th match minute, Roldán AFC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Emiliano Mannuel to maneuver through the defense. In the 66th match minute, Aparicio AFC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Fernando Txeru to maneuver through the defense. Jeremias Maria sent away a hard shot on goal in the 72nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. German Bras made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Fernando Txeru in the 81st minute of play. Paulino Fernado fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 83rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bernardino Odol having to interfere. 84 minutes into the game, Bernardo Vergaray was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Aparicio AFC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Roldán AFC the free kick. After 84 played minutes Aparicio AFC got a freekick which was hit by Bernardo Vergaray. Adrian Burutzagi received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 88th minute. Bernardino Odol tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Lázaro Haimar's late challenge caught a Aparicio AFC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Lázaro Haimar helped the player get up and apologised. In a very dangerous position, a player in Roldán AFC fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 91st minute. Penalty! The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Roldán AFC fans cheered their team off the field, for while Aparicio AFC had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
