Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Zeledon Chago got the match started through his kick off. When the match had gone on for 4 minutes, Marcelo Felipillo put it in 0-1 from a short distance just to the right of Cesar Bartolome. When Gustavo Napier came up free with the goalie in the 9th minute, the Real Madrid CF 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 Gustavo Napier couldn't finish the play. After a defensive mix-up in Real Madrid CF's zone, Leon Gotzon stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Arnulfo Celino came out of the goal and Leon Gotzon tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 14 minutes into the game, Zeledon Chago recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Arnulfo Celino. Zeledon Chago showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-1. Cesar Bartolome made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Gustavo Napier in the 20th minute of play. With a little luck, Real Madrid CF's Arnulfo Celino got control of the ball when Constantino Fonda tried to sneak it across the goal line.

In the 41st minute, Constantino Fonda got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. If Zeledon Chago had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 44th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

In the 52nd minute, Jimeno Amor hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Zeledon Chago fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 53rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Arnulfo Celino having to interfere.

Zeledon Chago received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 86th minute. Arnulfo Celino tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
