Estadio Lavayén
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Armando Bertin kicked off to start the match. After a rather tough play, Panacán FC's Romeo Martinez got a free kick in the 6th minute. If Silvestre Lohitzun had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Gaston Policarpio sent away a hard shot on goal in the 10th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Niceto Birjaio charged in rather forcefully in the 12th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Niceto Birjaio the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 13 played minutes, Panacán FC's Candido Lekubegi shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Santiago Urtsua came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Panacán FC reached it. Jesus Argi took the ball and in the 18 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Santiago Urtsua. Santiago Urtsua dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. With his leg Justo Ted managed to avoid a goal in the 31stth minute, when Lavayén FC's Silvestre Lohitzun fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. In the 43rd minute, Jesus Argi made a precise shot to the right of Santiago Urtsua. Lavayén FC's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-2. After having played for 47 minutes, Jesus Argi managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Panacán FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Jesus Argi was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Gaston Policarpio to strike the kick off in the second half. Silvestre Lohitzun sent away a hard shot on goal in the 53rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Silvestre Lohitzun recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 59th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 62 minutes into the match, Jesus Argi had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Santiago Urtsua. Lavayén FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Jesus Argi was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-3. Armando Bertin blasted a shot towards the goal in the 67th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Justo Ted having to make a save. A collision led to Panacán FC getting a freekick after 73 minutes play. Gaston Policarpio hit a great ball. Jesus Argi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 81st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. In the 84th minute Gaston Policarpio shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Santiago Urtsua saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 84 played minutes Lavayén FC got a freekick which was hit by Enzo Sidoro. Santiago Urtsua made an important save on a dangerous shot by Jesus Argi in the 90th minute. Justo Ted showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Silvestre Lohitzun in the 93rd minute of the match. Santiago Urtsua took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Alonzo Gora, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Gaston Policarpio in the 96th minute of play forced Lavayén FC's goalkeeper Santiago Urtsua to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. Panacán FC had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
