Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Victoriano Jatsu kicked off to start the match. Club Almirante Brown's Clemente Solustiano played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Victoriano Jatsu in the 3rd minute of play. In the 6th minute, Anacleto Nicholas hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Domingos Oalo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 9th minute. Alonzo Quintun tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. God save the team's Diego Edorta got a good chance for a goal in the 19th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. When the match had gone on for 20 minutes, Victoriano Jatsu put it in 0-1 from a short distance just to the right of Clemente Solustiano. When Ciriaco Guillelmo fell near the penalty area in the 26th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored God save the team's protests and gave Ciriaco Guillelmo a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Club Almirante Brown booed when God save the team was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 26 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ciriaco Guillelmo didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 31st match minute, Club Almirante Brown was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Esteve Natal to maneuver through the defense.

A collision led to Club Almirante Brown getting a freekick after 39 minutes play. Severino Giraldo hit a great ball. Victoriano Jatsu struck a weak shot in the 47th minute. Clemente Solustiano didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for God save the team. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Domingos Oalo to make the kick off. When the match had gone on for 57 minutes, Victoriano Jatsu took a quick shot and it went in 0-2 without a chance for Clemente Solustiano to make any attempt to save it.

After having played for 72 minutes, Diego Edorta managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.
