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. Roberto Machado started the match with the kick off. Rogelio Ibon showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Juan Quico, who was totally free with the ball in the 6th minute. Roberto Machado took the ball and in the 8 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Ubaldo Panfilo. Ubaldo Panfilo dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-0. After a rather tough play, Altos's Elias Ospin got a free kick in the 12th minute. If Juan Quico had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 17th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a little luck, Altos's Ubaldo Panfilo got control of the ball when Roberto Machado tried to sneak it across the goal line. If Damian Ixaka had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 29th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 39 minutes of play, PEPAPU TEAM's Roberto Machado made it 2-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Ubaldo Panfilo was left in no man's land by his defense there! Rogelio Ibon made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Florentino Frederik in the 45th minute of play. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Roberto Machado in the 55th minute of play forced Altos's goalkeeper Ubaldo Panfilo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Damian Ixaka received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 59th minute. Ubaldo Panfilo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Florentino Frederik did some fancy footwork in front of goal and succeeded to deceive the defenders so he could slam the ball in 2-1 to the left of a surprised Rogelio Ibon 64 minutes into the match. A collision led to Altos getting a freekick after 70 minutes play. Maximino Hanni hit a great ball. After a rather tough play, Altos's Adolfo Urtungo got a free kick in the 74th minute. In the 75th minute, Roberto Machado ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Ubaldo Panfilo was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-1. Florentino Frederik fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 83rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rogelio Ibon having to interfere. In the 84th minute Roberto Machado shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ubaldo Panfilo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Roberto Machado in the 87th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Ubaldo Panfilo prevented the ball from getting in the gole. If Juan Quico had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 89th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Florentino Frederik recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 90th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Rogelio Ibon made an important save on a dangerous shot by Florentino Frederik in the 96th minute. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. PEPAPU TEAM had played much better football throughout.
