Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Niceto Porfirio took the kick off in the first half of the match. Centenario FC's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Pastor Ramos 3 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 1-0. Simon Calvino stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Pastor Ramos's shot from short distance in the 9th minute. When Julian Guzman, who was free, got the in front of the goal in the 12 minute he wasn't focused and tipped the ball just over the goal.

In the 43rd minute Pastor Ramos shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Simon Calvino saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Aurelio Olando had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 45th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience was convinced that Pastor Ramos's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Simon Calvino was relentless in the 46th minute of the game.
