Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Alberto Hunfredo started the match with the kick off. Benigno Llorienzo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 3rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Freddy Tab received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 5th minute. Domingos Erlantz tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 12th minute the ball was on its way in behind Nelson's goalkeeper Raul Michael, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Raul Michael stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Benigno Llorienzo's shot from short distance in the 13th minute.

In the 90th minute, Abelardo Iyan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 91 played minutes Eliseo Berasko shot from long distance.

The Pantanillo players were the happier at the end of the match as they had prevented Nelson from taking control. The game ends in a draw.
