Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Jesus Llorienzo kicked off to start the match. The supporters of Yugoneta FC booed when Aurelia FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 4 match minutes in a wonderful position. Silvano Artaldo didn't get a good kick on the ball. Joaquin Chumo struck a weak shot in the 5th minute. Adan Egun didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Yugoneta FC. Alvaro Darien's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Mauricio Caitano firmly grabbed it by the left post. Mauricio Caitano took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Jesus Llorienzo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Joaquin Chumo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead.

With his leg Mauricio Caitano managed to avoid a goal in the 40thth minute, when Aurelia FC's Alvaro Darien fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Alvaro Darien had several of the Yugoneta FC's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 40 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-0 score and a disappointed Mauricio Caitano as he didn't even see the shot coming. 46 minutes into the match, Yugoneta FC's goal looked a bit too open when Jesus Llorienzo came free, but Mauricio Caitano reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jesus Llorienzo in the 47th minute of play forced Yugoneta FC's goalkeeper Mauricio Caitano to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Joaquin Chumo stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. When Jesus Llorienzo came up free with the goalie in the 53rd minute, the Aurelia FC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Jesus Llorienzo couldn't finish the play. A collision led to Yugoneta FC getting a freekick after 54 minutes play. Nestor Liberto hit a great ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 59th minute, Joaquin Chumo managed to get in a good position for a shot.
