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. Leonardo Perfecto started the match with the kick off. When Jacinto Quirce fell near the penalty area in the 3rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Villegas Club's protests and gave Jacinto Quirce a yellow card for diving instead. With a little luck, Real Carrizales F.C.'s Marco Azubeli got control of the ball when Manuel Gabrio tried to sneak it across the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in Villegas Club's zone, Leonardo Perfecto stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Gavino Mattin came out of the goal and Leonardo Perfecto tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Eriberto Mannie received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 21st minute. Gavino Mattin tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Eriberto Mannie sent away a hard shot on goal in the 85th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
