Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play.

With a left leg Arturo Mark saved MuchoFutbol.Com from getting behind. Pacará's Leopoldo Azubeli played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Marcos Quintana in the 6th minute of play. With a little luck, Pacará's Leopoldo Azubeli got control of the ball when Isaac Atarratze tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 9th minute of the match, Marcos Quintana tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Leopoldo Azubeli saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. In the 10th match minute, Pacará was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Celso Cugat to maneuver through the defense. 15 minutes into the game, one of MuchoFutbol.Com:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty.

After some fancy dribbling in the 27th minute, Astor Ponce managed to get in a good position for a shot. Pacará's supporters rose to their feet, but Astor Ponce was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Arturo Mark breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Nereo Chucho kicked well hit freekick during the 30th minute of the match. The corner led MuchoFutbol.Com's Danilo Gilabert to fire away a dangerous shot which Leopoldo Azubeli despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. An unexpected shot in the 39th minute by Isaac Atarratze got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. Alvaro Etxepare's late challenge caught a Pacará's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Alvaro Etxepare helped the player get up and apologised. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Astor Ponce to strike the kick off in the second half. If Melquiades Eneas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 52nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Isaac Atarratze in the 56th minute of play forced Pacará's goalkeeper Leopoldo Azubeli to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Arturo Mark stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Astor Ponce's shot from short distance in the 61st minute. A hard shot by Benedicto Erramu from long distance, 62 minutes into the match, got Arturo Mark's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. When Marcos Quintana came up free with the goalie in the 64th minute, the MuchoFutbol.Com 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 Marcos Quintana couldn't finish the play. In the 65th minute, Arnoldo Iban hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Lisandro Gutxi charged in rather forcefully in the 71st minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Lisandro Gutxi the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 70th minute, one of MuchoFutbol.Com:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for MuchoFutbol.Com. In the 72nd minute there was a penalty for Pacará. Elvio Goyo stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Arturo Mark. 0-2. After some fancy dribbling in the 81st minute, Isaac Atarratze managed to get in a good position for a shot. MuchoFutbol.Com's supporters rose to their feet, but Isaac Atarratze was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

A hard shot 94 in the game by Jeronimo Leheren from a close distance when the talented Arturo Mark managed to make a qualified save. MuchoFutbol.Com's players were relieved. Astor Ponce struck a weak shot in the 97th minute. Arturo Mark didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Pacará. If Astor Ponce had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 100th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The Pacará supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Pacará would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
