Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Paulo Abel kicked off to start the match. Los Carasucias's Silvestre Osoro played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Emilio Oliverios in the 4th minute of play. Arnaldo Mateus took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Paulo Abel, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 10th minute, Claudio Abeita hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

Paulo Abel sent away a hard shot on goal in the 13th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Venancio Gabon had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 15th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 19th minute Emilio Oliverios shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Silvestre Osoro saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

When Girardet AFC's Emilio Oliverios in the 31st minute got a chance for a shot 31st didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Los Carasucias's goalie prevented a goal. The referee gave Girardet AFC a penalty, 34 minutes into the game.

Emilio Oliverios ran back to his position shaking his head. An unexpectedly hard shot by Emilio Oliverios in the 45th minute of play forced Los Carasucias's goalkeeper Silvestre Osoro to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.
