Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Laureano Esiquio took the kick off in the first half of the match.

Laureano Esiquio sent away a hard shot on goal in the 8th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Amador Timo showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Fernan Katia in the 19th minute of the match.

Pierini FC's Victorino Leoiar played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Blas Vachon in the 61st minute of play. Fernan Katia was extremely unlucky when he, in the 63rd minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out.

After some fancy dribbling in the 73rd minute, Laureano Esiquio managed to get in a good position for a shot.

Amador Timo breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick.

Isidoro Mogel hit a great freekick 81 minutes into the match. Edelmiro Jerardo took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 82nd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Victorino Leoiar. Pierini FC's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Victorino Leoiar came out of the goal in the 83rd minute to try and stop a shot by Bandera's Blas Vachon. But to his dismay, Blas Vachon quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-1. Blas Vachon struck a weak shot in the 88th minute. Victorino Leoiar didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Bandera. Victorino Leoiar took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Blas Vachon, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Serafin Belo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 95th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Bandera fans cheered their team off the field, for while Pierini FC had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
