Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) After having played for 4 minutes, Zeledon Innocenzio managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ciclon Azulgrana07's supporters crossed their fingers, but Zeledon Innocenzio was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Bruno Romano came out of the goal in the 11th minute to try and stop a shot by Ciclon Azulgrana07's Cleto Loramendi. But to his dismay, Cleto Loramendi quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. In the 16th minute, Anastasio Clis hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Zeledon Innocenzio sent away a hard shot on goal in the 19th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Cleto Loramendi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 21st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bruno Romano having to interfere. Zeledon Innocenzio received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 23rd minute. Bruno Romano tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Bruno Romano took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Cleto Loramendi, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The crowd rose to their feet as Florencio Urtzi kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Marcos Cidro. That made the score 1-1 in the 27 minute of play. 31 minutes into the game, Ciclon Azulgrana07's Cleto Loramendi nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Bruno Romano made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-2. If Benito Quilo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 39th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Zeledon Innocenzio struck a weak shot in the 41st minute. Bruno Romano didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ciclon Azulgrana07. Zeledon Innocenzio fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 43rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bruno Romano having to interfere. Benito Quilo kicked well hit freekick during the 44th minute of the match. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-3 lead.

Juan Matai received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 55th minute. Marcos Cidro tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Florencio Urtzi's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Marcos Cidro read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 56th minute of play. Florencio Urtzi might have been able to make a better finish in the 59th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Marcos Cidro. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Florencio Urtzi ran back to his position shaking his head. After 65 played minutes Ciclon Azulgrana07 got a freekick which was hit by Aaron Vincente. In the 66th minute, Damaso Hernando sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Ciclon Azulgrana07's Marcos Cidro didn't even have to move. Marcos Cidro made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Joaquin Tulio in the 69th minute of play. Zeledon Innocenzio was extremely unlucky when he, in the 79th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. In the 81st minute the ball was on its way in behind Cadetes de San Martin's goalkeeper Bruno Romano, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Benito Quilo's late challenge caught a Ciclon Azulgrana07's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Benito Quilo helped the player get up and apologised. Benito Quilo hit a great freekick 82 minutes into the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 83rd minute, Zeledon Innocenzio managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ciclon Azulgrana07's supporters rose to their feet, but Zeledon Innocenzio was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Bruno Romano breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 87 minutes into the match, Ciclon Azulgrana07's goal looked a bit too open when Florencio Urtzi came free, but Marcos Cidro reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Cleto Loramendi blasted a shot towards the goal in the 96th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Bruno Romano having to make a save. Bruno Romano was out of position in the 96 minute of play, and Zeledon Innocenzio capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Zeledon Innocenzio really showed his touch with that goal: 1-4. The Ciclon Azulgrana07 supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Ciclon Azulgrana07 would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
