Estadio Palo
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Cornelio Tanio took the kick off in the first half of the match. When Palo FC's Dario Romero in the 8th minute got a chance for a shot 8th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Coraya's goalie prevented a goal. If Cesar Naldo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 10th minute, Dario Romero got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. When the match had gone on for 16 minutes, Dario Romero took a quick shot and it went in 1-0 without a chance for Ruperto Solustiano to make any attempt to save it. When Cornelio Tanio fell near the penalty area in the 21st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Coraya's protests and gave Cornelio Tanio a yellow card for diving instead. After 22 played minutes Coraya got a freekick which was hit by Cornelio Tanio. In the 28th minute Cornelio Tanio shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Donato Magdaleno saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Osvaldo Terciero kicked well hit freekick during the 28th minute of the match. Dario Romero received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 31st minute. Ruperto Solustiano tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Cipriano Frutos scored 2-0 in the 32nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Ruperto Solustiano, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. If Severiano Oto had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 37th minute the ball was on its way in behind Coraya's goalkeeper Ruperto Solustiano, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 39th minute, Generoso Lorien hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Donato Magdaleno made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Cornelio Tanio in the 42nd minute of play. In the 48th minute, Cornelio Tanio made a precise shot to the right of Donato Magdaleno. Palo FC's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-1. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-1 at half-time.

Ruperto Solustiano came out of the goal in the 57th minute to try and stop a shot by Palo FC's Dario Romero. But to his dismay, Dario Romero quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-1. Donato Magdaleno showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Generoso Lorien, who was totally free with the ball in the 61st minute. In the 62nd minute, Enrique Jurgi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 69th minute, Coraya's Generoso Lorien dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 3-2. If Dario Romero had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 74th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 82 minutes into the match, Dario Romero notched a goal, 4-2, to the right of Coraya's Ruperto Solustiano. Ruperto Solustiano was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Dario Romero struck a weak shot in the 85th minute. Ruperto Solustiano didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Palo FC. Palo FC's Donato Magdaleno played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Generoso Lorien in the 90th minute of play. In the 94th minute Dario Romero shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ruperto Solustiano saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Palo FC fully deserved thier win.
