Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) An unexpectedly hard shot by Narciso Nicholas in the 3rd minute of play forced Volumen al Mango's goalkeeper Edgard Maurino to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Batacazo FC's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Ricardo Perfecto 9 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 1-0.
