Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Casimiro Truylos started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. After 3 minutes, Faustino Barrionuevo mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Saldán and the Ucacha FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. Cristobal Millano was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Angel Aureo showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-0 in the 5 minute of play. Isaac Pitin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 7th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 11th minute Isaac Pitin shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Felix Papo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Faustino Barrionuevo got his second yellow card in the match during the 15th minute which meant that he had to leave the ground. In the 16th minute, Isaac Pitin 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. 22 minutes into the match, Saldán's goal looked a bit too open when Isaac Pitin came free, but Felix Papo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 24th minute Isaac Pitin shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Felix Papo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After having played for 32 minutes, Isaac Pitin managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ucacha FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Isaac Pitin was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Saldán's Silvestre Lobo got a good chance for a goal in the 39th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 44th minute, Casimiro Truylos 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. Ucacha FC's Benito Tabby suffered a sore thigh after 44 minutes and couldn't finish the game. Anibal Abaurre's late challenge caught a Ucacha FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Anibal Abaurre helped the player get up and apologised. Anibal Abaurre kicked well hit freekick during the 45th minute of the match. After recieving a nice pass, Ucacha FC's Eulalio Cordeara tried to score from far away in the 46th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

Angel Aureo might have been able to make a better finish in the 56th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Cristobal Millano. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Angel Aureo ran back to his position shaking his head. Silvestre Lobo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 68th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Cristobal Millano having to interfere. If Silvestre Lobo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 77th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Cayetano Victoro hit a great freekick 79 minutes into the match. Americo Kemen sent away a hard shot on goal in the 86th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 92 played minutes, Saldán's Efrain Mancio shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Cristobal Millano came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Saldán reached it. Eulalio Cordeara charged in rather forcefully in the 94th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Eulalio Cordeara the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 94 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Ucacha FC! Saldán's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
