Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Nemesio Papo took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 3rd minute, Arguello Norte's Jeremias Rio seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Jeremias Rio the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Arguello Norte protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Jeremias Rio had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. Jeremias Rio kicked well hit freekick during the 4th minute of the match. Hornillos AFC's Stasio Beninda played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by 莫骋霆 in the 8th minute of play. In the 17th match minute, Arguello Norte was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Remigio Erauso to maneuver through the defense. Benjamin Schieder took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Osvaldo Calixto, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Elpidio Lauaxeta had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 25th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 26th minute Osvaldo Calixto shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Benjamin Schieder saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Alejandro Gai struck a weak shot in the 30th minute. Benjamin Schieder didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Hornillos AFC. Nemesio Papo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 34th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 39th minute Nemesio Papo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Benjamin Schieder saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Alejandro Gai scored 0-1 in the 43rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Benjamin Schieder, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 49 minutes into the match, Hornillos AFC's Nemesio Papo sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Benjamin Schieder narrowly saved just below the crossbar. The Arguello Norte players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Hornillos AFC were winning 0-1.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when 莫骋霆 stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. After a defensive mix-up in Hornillos AFC's zone, Geronimo Beltza stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Stasio Beninda came out of the goal and Geronimo Beltza tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Elpidio Lauaxeta during the 61st minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Melchor Arixo kicked well hit freekick during the 62nd minute of the match. Osvaldo Calixto hit a great freekick 63 minutes into the match. In the 65th minute, Leopoldo Gonzales hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Geronimo Beltza sent away a hard shot on goal in the 66th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Stasio Beninda showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Elpidio Lauaxeta, who was totally free with the ball in the 68th minute. Elpidio Lauaxeta fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 71st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Stasio Beninda having to interfere. 74 minutes into the game, one of Hornillos AFC:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. In the 75th minute there was a penalty for Arguello Norte. Elpidio Lauaxeta stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Stasio Beninda. 1-1. In the 78th match minute, Arguello Norte was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Julio Bittor to maneuver through the defense. Remigio Erauso made in the 79th minute of the game a quick throw-in and Marciano Montes immediately put the ball in play. Through an outstanding action, after 82 minutes, Benjamin Schieder successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. The Hornillos AFC fans' excitement grew in the 85th match minute when Hornillos AFC's Israel Firman looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 1-2 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Leonides Prejun's late challenge caught a Arguello Norte's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Leonides Prejun helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of Arguello Norte booed when Hornillos AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 90 match minutes in a wonderful position. Leonides Prejun didn't get a good kick on the ball. The long shot by Rafael Gomes in the 98th minute really tested Benjamin Schieder's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. If Nemesio Papo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 100th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The Hornillos AFC players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
