Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Santos Olando took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 3rd minute, Mariano Abalos hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The supporters of MONOS booed when Responsers Futbol Club was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 8 match minutes in a wonderful position. Elias Dimo didn't get a good kick on the ball. Elvio Nikola made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Celedonio Quinto in the 10th minute of play. If Santos Olando had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 12th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Santos Olando sent away a hard shot on goal in the 18th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Elvio Nikola showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Santos Olando, who was totally free with the ball in the 20th minute. Celedonio Quinto recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 21st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Osvaldo Peio kicked well hit freekick during the 23rd minute of the match. Elias Dimo kicked well hit freekick during the 25th minute of the match.

Alejo Elodio received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 32nd minute. Ubaldo Gudesteo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Elvio Nikola showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Celedonio Quinto, who was totally free with the ball in the 36th minute. If Celedonio Quinto had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Albino Opilano in the 63rd minute of play forced MONOS's goalkeeper Ubaldo Gudesteo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 63 minutes, Cayetano Henric mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the MONOS and the Responsers Futbol Club players grew even worse after the yellow card.

After some fancy dribbling in the 91st minute, Santos Olando managed to get in a good position for a shot. MONOS's supporters rose to their feet, but Santos Olando was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Elvio Nikola breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Elpidio Chuse hit a great freekick 93 minutes into the match. In the 96th minute Responsers Futbol Club were awarded a corner. Federico Sauveur went to the cornerflag to take it. It was a well-played corner which Albino Opilano managed to volley towards the net. Unfortunately, he didn't get a great hit on the ball and it went out into the grandstand. Despite being the better team, MONOS failed to find the winning goal and were forced to settle for a single point.
