Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Victoriano Iturri took the kick off in the first half of the match. After 10 minutes, Honorio Kauldi mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the The Funk Machine and the Fontezuela FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, The Funk Machine's Honorio Kauldi got a free kick in the 10th minute. Siro Elija sent away a hard shot on goal in the 15th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. 20 minutes into the match, Fontezuela FC's goal looked a bit too open when Victoriano Iturri came free, but Anier Guillelmo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

The score stood at 0-0 after a close first half.

Urbano Loco received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 52nd minute. Mauro Nel tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Luisito Curcio fell near the penalty area in the 61st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored The Funk Machine's protests and gave Luisito Curcio a yellow card for diving instead. In the 62nd minute, Luisito Curcio hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Urbano Loco sent away a hard shot on goal in the 65th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
